When we wrote about the premiere of the sequel to the Amiga classic, there were some doubts about the quality of Flashback 2, because the publisher did not send review codes in advance. Unfortunately, our fears were confirmed.
Flashback 2 will probably compete with Gollum for the title of the worst game of 2023. The first ratings received by the sequel to the Amiga hit are shockingly low. IGN’s editors gave Flashback 2 a rating of 2/10, testing the title on PS5 and calling the game a “total failure.”
The editors criticize the very poor technical aspect of the game, terrible graphics and a poor plot. Completing the project takes “an exhausting 10 hours” . During this time, the reviewer encountered a lot of bugs that made the gameplay very difficult. The PS5 game also shows large frame rate drops from time to time due to very poor optimization.
Flashback 2 ratings in early reviews:
- Voxelmash 4.5/10
- IGN 2/10
