    TL:DR

    "…the gaming industry isn’t a charity, and people deserve to know what they’re potentially spending their hard-earned money on. Here’s what you need to know: the problem with Flashback 2 isn’t merely that it is buggy, sometimes to a hilarious degree. Instead, the main issue is that even if the bugs weren’t present, it still wouldn’t be worth its current price tag. "

    That’s pretty hilariously bad, especially as the only reason I read the review was out of disbelief that it might be a sequel to the 1992 game.

    …huh, I thought “Flashback 2” was released years ago, but that one seems to have been a remake/re-imagining of sorts of the original. And that one was pretty bad as well, it seems.

    And wasn’t Fade to black more or less a sequel to Flashback as well? Seems like the Flashback sequels/remakes are fairly cursed… weird.

    I do have fond memories of the original, though. Kinda disappointing there isn’t really a worthwhile follow up to it.
