Can’t recommend this version
This is a poor quality reproduction packaged in a Unity game. It includes new strange star-like things to collect which are not rendered in the same style as the original graphics - visually very off-putting and provide nothing of value. The video and audio filters ruin the original aesthetic of the game. There is an unskippable popup window when you start the game in order to configure display settings. This renders it impossible to launch from say Steam Big Picture, one has to minimize big picture, find a mouse, then click through - every. time. I. open. the. game. It also doesn’t work on Linux, which to be fair, is not advertised to work on Linux, however all my other GOG games work fine via Proton. No reason this game couldn’t. I really was expecting/hoping for just the original game, not sure why they had to George Lucas it into oblivion. I bought it on sale for ~$1 and think I over paid. On the other hand, the Another World port on GOG is of much higher quality, and IMO how Flashback should have been done - UX is good, display is configured in-app (not in popup window), works on Linux, game plays like the original. As for Flashback, I guess I will go back to playing the genesis/megadrive version via emulator.

A Flashback i loved having.
Yes this is a great update of the classic and not a reboot. I played Flashback for countless hours when i first got it when i was about 14 or 15, loved every second of the story and anything else you could think off about a game. The graphics are very similar to the other old school gem Another World and for its time Flashback looked stunning and played so fluidly. This version works perfectly with an Xbox One gamepad as i have had zero issues with it since installing, either with playing it or starting the game. This is definitley one classic that deserves every bit of praise it got and is still getting to this day. 9/10 from me.

Classic game made ugly
Ok, I won't say that Flashback is a masterpiece or old memories blah blah... well, I will: it was one of my favourite games for long, kept me awake with red eyes until I beat it, its second level is still amazing, but from the fourth onwards it gets insanely unfair. It is a 1993 platformer with some design decisions that now would be changed, but as I played this one to death (as well as Another World or Heart of Darkness just to name two) I decided to buy it. Hey Paul Cuisset, good work here. Of course I know the original as if I was dancing a choreography, so I expected a few upgrades and options in this rerelease. The remastered music and FX are here and they are very welcome (the original Flashback sounds were sampled in a awful rate probably for performance reasons) but the original had a very weird resolution, 240x128 and upscaling the graphics just does not work. They could have resample them carefully, but Microids just threw some filters. The only music options are the PC OPL3 (Sound Blaster, Adlib) and the remastered one, with no option for the Amiga or SNES one (which makes this version not better than Reminiscence). And the filters, the upscaling, make this game as ugly as porn in 4k. I still love this game: it was a take on Prince of Persia through the Total Recall kind of sci fi that has a lot of atmosphere. But I am not sure this is the better way to pay homage to it. Anyway, better than the remake of a few years ago, and still better than the holy amount of bad games Cuisset has released since the 00s.
