    I'm one of those who loved the original Flashback. It was a game that brought to 1992 a great art concept, with interesting narrative and an enigmatic main character. It wasn't simply a "video game" per se. It was rich in so many aspects. So, years passed and the same team redesigned the game to our days, with present technology and resources. Even with most game reboots being rubbish, II'm one of those who loved the original Flashback.

So, years passed and the same team redesigned the game to our days, with present technology and resources. Even with most game reboots being rubbish, I gave it a try. I really wanted to see something fresh, well-thought. Sadly, didn't happen. Poorly implemented controls, so-so visuals, and a horribly annoying Conrad, with C-movie quotes and that typical male-main-character-from-Unreal-Engine face. I stopped playing the game in the middle because it was ruining my fond memories from the original one. And what bugs me the most is that was made from THE SAME GUYS.… Expand

    If you don't mind setting up a UPlay account and playing through two levels of DRM, Flashback is not a bad platformer. The game has good graphics and some entertaining segments but a meaningless plot, hammy voice acting and an unlikeable protagonist. To me, this means it'll never be anything more than an "okay" game.

    By packaging the original Flashback: The Quest for Identity, the developers made a huge mistake – because it makes the remake look even worse than it is.
