Flashback: Remastered Edition remains a stone-cold classic, and old players will love how so little has been done to it, helping to preserve what caught people's attention in the first place as opposed to covering it all up with a more modern sheen. Newer players who aren't accustomed to the classic single-screen style of gameplay might find the control scheme and lack of real help frustrating at first. Stick with it and you'll discover why Flashback was more than just a display of pretty graphics. Overall, this title is a worthy addition to the Switch library.
Flashback is a great game that somehow manages to stand the test of time twenty five years later. The option to adjust the difficulty with the new Modern Mode should allow newcomers to ease into the admittedly brutal gameplay.

Albeit minor technical issues, great package overall and pretty nice port of the game. Recommended to all fans (I'm a long time fan myself, and have beaten the game 10+ times on various platforms during past 20 years). Pretty good selection of image filters, nice rewind feature. New soundtrack is average, better off with original.

It is a very refreshing adventure game that is dense with content and things to do. The world feels so alive with an almost fetishistic attention to detail. It is clear why it fell into obscurity, but it is very obvious why it was so amazing when it came out. Anyone willing to give Flashback: 25th Anniversary the time will not be disappointed.
Flashback was a 90's classic and still is a great experience in the best and most complete version of Paul Cuisset's game.
Flashback on Switch is the definitive edition of a truly special science fiction platform/puzzle solving/shooting video game that already more than proved itself to be a 16-bit classic. If you were too young to play this the first time, this package will give you the best possible way to experience it with current hardware. For veteran gamers, Flashback has lost nothing of what made it special all those years ago. Pass the holocube, please.
A great chance to try this retro experience but also a really hard way to introduce ourselves to a time in which one only shot could end the game. Great adaptation work.
Flashback 25th Anniversary brings us the nostalgia of playing a game which was a hit some time before. We will play like we did then, with the same graphics and soundtrack, but on our portable console this time. Playing this game again is nothing but worth it.
Flashback un juego de 1992 que no conocía para nada y la magia de las "ofertas" de nintendo switch hizo que lo comprase, viendo apenas unas capturas y un trailer muy retro con toques de Bladerunner y ya estaba dentrísimo, juego de plataformas y toques de aventura gráfica, lo mezcla con unas cinemáticas primitivas pero que tienen su encanto, la banda sonora pega de maravilla en cada situación, la historia te intriga pero no es su punto fuerte, cosas malas tiene como todo quizá el movimiento tosco del personaje sea lo más destacable pero teniendo en cuenta que estamos hablando de un juego de hace casi 30 años pues... Quizás se deje pasar por alto, lo recomiendo si tienes intriga de cómo eran esos juegos de antes o te gusta mucho lo retro, ojalá algún día Conrad vuelva

For those who don't know or are too young to remember Flashback was one of the best games of the 16-Bit era with jaw dropping animation, ground breaking cinematics and inventive level design. Obviously, some of these things lose a bit of their impact 25 years later but it still plays great which is the main thing. This 25th anniversary edition has plenty of new features - the "modern" mode with improved graphics and sound is well done and the directors cut should intrigue fans of the original. The tutorial and rewind features are nice but not essential and you can also play the original game exactly as it was back in the day! Overall Id say this is the best version of an all time classic!

I remember seeing this in Nintendo Power way back, but never played it. It is a cool game and I probably would have loved it as a kid, but the out dated controls make it rough when the difficulty spikes. I can see how it was a major technical accomplishment for the time though. Still, it's pretty fun and worth checking out.

A great cyberpunk atmosphere with beautiful rotoscoped animations. The archaic controls require some time to adjust to and retain a clunkiness throughout. The addition of a rewind mode makes the experience easier to digest. It’s an interesting piece of gaming history, but it certainly won’t appeal to a wide audience.

Hmm, with hidden items essential to the plot, awkward controls that make even jumping and shooting look difficult, vague direction for the plot or the next course of action, and the need of precise placement and action of your character, otherwise you may think you're stuck or not doing the right thing. This game might have been good back then, but it does not hold up to today's standards.
