A little-known Sega platformer-puzzler with platforms collapsing at every step. Original idea, rough execution, worth a try for fans of strange challenges.

Is Fatal Rewind still worth playing in 2026?

Originally known as The Killing Game Show, Fatal Rewind plunges a robot into a vertical arena where it must climb out of a flooding pit while gunning down enemies. The blend of snappy action and demanding platforming, paired with the rewind system that replays your mistakes, gives a strong identity but a fearsome difficulty. Psygnosis' polished production leaves a mark. For a fan of demanding action or someone curious about original early nineties concepts, the title keeps a singular character.
