Blackthorne on SNES is one of those moody, atmospheric action-platformers that feels like it crawled straight out of the '90s—in the best way possible. You play as this gruff, trenchcoat-wearing dude with a shotgun, sneaking through caves and blasting mutants while the soundtrack hits you with those deep synth vibes.

At first glance, it kinda looks like Flashback or Another World, but the combat’s way more brutal—you can actually lean against walls to dodge bullets before popping out to return fire. And yeah, there’s some light puzzle stuff, like flipping switches or finding keys, but mostly it’s about timing your shots and not getting shredded by alien freaks.

Pro tip: don’t rush in. The game rewards patience, letting you line up perfect ambushes instead of just spraying bullets. That first time you nail a clean headshot from cover? So satisfying.
