Is Flashback still worth playing in 2026?
A cinematic platform adventure by Delphine Software, Flashback offers an atypical narrative experience inspired by Another World with sublime rotoscope animation and exploration based puzzles. The Mega CD version benefits from redrawn cutscenes and a redbook soundtrack that transform the atmosphere. Difficult but deeply immersive, the title keeps a unique evocative force and remains one of the great narrative games of the nineties absolutely worth discovering in this enriched version for genre fans today still on the console truly.
