Sci-Fi
Flashback's 2013 reimagining traded on the original's cinematic platforming, but with a modern, third-person perspective. The cover-based shooting and regenerating health felt out of place, but the story retained the original's pulpy sci-fi charm, and the rotoscoped animations still gave the combat a unique weight. It's a remake that struggles to recapture the atmosphere of the original, but the core narrative and setting remain compelling enough to see it through.
