Flashback 2 Review - Yet Another Worst Game of the Year Contender?

Now after a few Updates its realy good

theres another new flashback also. this is the 2nd new one. the original was amazing the first newer one was pretty good. this one sucks.

This bums me out. I wanted this to go a good game.

I am so glad i waited it out and didn't pre-order. so disappointed about this. My teen self weeps.

they released this with game breaking bugs I got half way through it to a bit where you need to collect bits to make a mech and find a battery, I did both, returned to complete the quest only to be told "I need to find a battery" I gave up and binned it at this point, how does Microids stay in business when they churn out such embarrassing shit like this? All they had to do was use the original games art style and mechanics to create some new levels and it would have sold and reviewed well, all they managed to do was piss off long term fans of the original while making new players avoid it like the crap it is.

what a shame, I love the first one. what happened to video game industry these days, disappointments just keep coming.

such a let down im so sad about this as i was really looking forward to it what a shame

This doesn’t look like a “worst of the year” contender. Maybe you expected too much from the smaller “indie” game?

Flashback, Fade to Black, and Out of this World all played horribly, with bad controls and platforming. Why do we forget this?

I haven’t heard of this series before. Despite the title, I actually want to play this.

Shit, well that just sucks. I was looking forward to this game.

yeah this game sounded bad

The first one is the granddaddy of indie development

What a shame. I was hoping this would be at least like Shadow Complex in overall quality.

Ugh at the state of gaming lately. So many bad games. I enjoyed the first game forever ago. Ugh...guess I'll be buying BG3.

I was just thinking about that god awful remake of the first game that came out in like 2013


Now, there's a sequel to it.....and it looks just as bad. Y THO?

The OG flashback was a thing of beauty, might not be everyones cup of tea with its slower gameplay though

We got a terrible remake a few years ago and now we’ve got a terrible sequel. Such a shame to see such a legendary game get dragged through the mud like this.

hopefully they make some patches to fix some of the issues. i coukd work through some of the issues but all together this looks unbearable.

As someone mentioned on twitter, at least we have Lunark instead.

Remind me of shadow complex

"Wait, slow down, I am an old man!"

#1 as of right now. I would not buy that if there was NOTHING to play.

I suspected when I saw the artstyle change from the original game that it wouldn't be good. Shame. Still lots of other good games out.

Just finished it...yep, the game is a broken mess. but i liked the art and the simple story.

It’s like visiting a long lost family member on Thanksgiving
And then crying

I think I've seen enough ai art....and this suspiciously looks like it lol

So, will we have Shadow Complex 2 in the future?

Why in the world do they still make games where you can't FREELY adjust the controls to your liking? I've never liked this Control Scheme A or B-only crap and it's even worse when on PC, where it should be mandatory to REMAP them freely on the keyboard & mouse. This seems to be a nasty trademark from Microids, which I've encountered on the latest TinTin adventure game, 2018 Flashback remaster, and this Flashback 2. Any game that doesn't give that freedom to adjust controls is an automatic pass and a ZERO/10. Even Emulators for old NES, SNES or Sega games give you freedom to adjust the controls in any way you want.

That's sad, hopefully next year we get a few less broken/bad games.

Microids just can't catch a break 😂

For me this Flashback 2 dosen't looks WORST game of the year, this actually looks surprisilly NICE. Is this on Nintendo Switch or Playstation 5? 😮😊

When you have one of the best years in video game history with so many amazing games of course you are going to get a record level of terrible worst game of the year contenders. Remember when everyone thought Gollum was the absolute nadir of gaming in 2023? That shit looks like Tears of the Kingdom in comparison to some of the late comers this month! Lol

This is sad for me, FlashBack and Fade to Black were legendary

Dang bro, that’s pretty wild

When I saw the game had released and no reviews I knew it was a bad sign

I like bad games, I enjoy the torture

😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😩😩😩😩😩

Microids destroy everything they touch, XIII is another embarrassment.

We are entering an ear of gollum like games

That's such a bummer. The OG was the best!

Ive never been this early 😂

Oh no 😮 I'm too early 😢
