FLASHBACK + ANOTHER WORLD Review
Want cinematic platformers? That's the pitch! It's a rare genre! Then check out this Cheapness affordable gaming review of Flashback and Another World in this cinematic platformer double episode [Episode 23]!
This review delves into this genre and games from a bygone era with their ease of deaths and deliberate platforming animations! Both games do very well in terms of cheapness except Another World is short and thus delivers low value for money! The review discusses this as well as the foibles of the era.
Thank you for watching this review and I truly hope I turned you onto your next game whether through identifying its cheapness, quality or weirdness.
