Flashback on SNES is one of those games that sticks with you—part cyberpunk thriller, part cinematic platformer, with this weirdly immersive vibe. You play as Conrad, an amnesiac GBI agent in 2142, and right from the start, you’re dumped into this neon-drenched future where everything feels slightly off. The rotoscoped animation gives his movements this uncanny smoothness, like you’re controlling a living cartoon.

First thing you’ll notice? The controls take some getting used to—rolling, climbing, and aiming all feel deliberate, almost weighty. But once it clicks, sneaking past guards or lining up a perfect shot with your phaser pistol feels satisfying as hell. The story’s full of weird little twists, too—one minute you’re dodging alien imposters in a dystopian city, the next you’re solving puzzles in some jungle ruin. It’s got that ‘90s sci-fi charm where every level feels like a chunk of some lost cult movie.

Honestly, the atmosphere alone makes it worth playing—moody synth tracks, those gritty pixel-art backdrops, and dialogue that’s just cheesy enough to be endearing. If you can handle the slower pace, it’s a trip worth taking.
