Flashback

During my childhood, Blackthorne (1994) introduced me to the genre of 2D cinematic platformers. Flashback is simply an amazing 2D cinematic platformer with great art and challenging but eventually rewarding gameplay once you master it. There is an undeniable learning curve to this game's movement and combat. The movements in this game have to be deliberate and well thought out. This is not a game where you smash the keyboard in a panic. After mastering the controls, you start to appreciate the careful design of this game. While Another World was a clear inspiration for Flashback, Flashback easily surpasses Another World in the enjoyability of gameplay. Another World is great as a work of art, but it is not so fun to play since one hit kills you and you have to go back to a checkpoint. In Flashback, you have a rechargeable shield which can withstand four hits and only the fifth one is fatal. Certain environmental hazards and falling from a great height cause instant death, but otherwise there is room for error when dealing with enemies. There is a specific way to fight every enemy type if you have the patience to learn it. Playing without the rewind function helps learning the way to approach different situations and enemies. Rolling with the gun in your hand is an important skill to learn. Similarly, you have to master the use of the force field and the teleporter. In summary, Flashback has the perfect combination of beautiful art and challenging gameplay. However, Flashback is not very friendly to casual gamers due to the steep learning curve. There is also a weird issue where a save slot moves to another save slot, possibly overwriting an existing save. This was not a big issue for me, since I never lost progress on a current playthrough, only on previous already completed playthroughs.

Помню в детстве друг дал эту игру со словами "ты ее не пройдешь", на что я посмеялся с него и "не прошел" по прежнему так же тяжело как и в детстве но сейчас хоть лангуяге знаю, тогда не догадался как на завод попасть на 3 терменале

The game of my childhood. But play it without the "modern" filters. It just makes it a mess.
