About

2142. After fleeing from a space ship but stripped of all memory, the eminent scientist Conrad B. Hart awakens on Titan, a colonised moon of the planet Saturn. His enemies and kidnappers are snapping at his heels. He must find a way back to Earth, defending himself against the dangers he encounters and unravelling an insidious extra-terrestrial plot that threatens the planet… On its 25th anniversary, rediscover this classic, consistently ranked among the best 100 games of all time! It was one of the first games to use motion capture technology for more realistic animations, with backgrounds that were entirely hand-drawn and a gripping science-fiction storyline.

    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.

    Probabilmente costa un po’ troppo e non farà cadere la mascella ai giocatori più giovani cresciuti a pane e Call of Duty, ma Flashback è un pezzo di storia videoludica che andava preservato, e questa riedizione per PS4 riesce benissimo nell’intento. L’aspetto grafico e l’impianto sonoro sono stati ammodernati egregiamente, la funzione Rewind smussa alcuni angoli acuti della difficoltà e gli extra non mancano: se avete vissuto l’epoca d’oro delle console a 16 bit l’acquisto rimane quindi molto più che consigliato.
