Atari Flashback 2: Complete Review and Breakdown

This should hold you over until the Atari Box is finally revealed!

I had bought the Atari Flashback 2 having no idea of its true potential, but after countless hours playing it and getting acquainted with its interface, I am pleased to report that this is definitely a must-own for anyone who experiences intense bouts of Atari fever.

"A+" for a cheap plug-and-play console that plays ugly, ancient Atari 2600 games and only includes a crappy composite video output? What is this clown smoking?

LumpztheClown3131d ago (Edited 3131d ago )

Lol...gotta give you props for that last question! :-)

Anyway...Ugly? Perhaps when one is unfairly comparing it to a system with over 20x the processing power. That would be like comparing the Wright Bros. plane to a 747: not even in the same league with both of them being awesome in their own right.

And as a proud owner and one who's spoken directly with one of the developers behind the FB2, I'd hardly say that this is cheap. A cheap plug 'n play would be my Sonic-shaped AtGames Sega Genesis.

Sure, it comes with SD card support so you can add more ROMs, but those cheapo wireless controls turned out to be a dealbreaker.

When compared to other plug 'n plays, the Atari Flashback 2 is one of the best ones you can find, and typically for under $30. :-)

Best Gaming CPUs 2026: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X vs 7800X3D vs 9700X vs 9800X3D vs 9850X3D

AMD’s Ryzen 7000X3D and 9000X3D processors are by far the best gaming CPUs on the market. They’re affordable, power-efficient, and don’t require expensive AIO cooling solutions. I recently tested several of AMD’s midrange Ryzen 7000 and 9000 chips, including the 7950X, 7800X3D, 9700X, 9800X3D, and 9850X3D.

Marathon hands-on preview | Notebookcheck

Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."

Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.

Putte18h ago

And as of now a 5.1 user score on metacritic. Really bad.

LiViNgLeGaCY16h ago

On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.

MrNinosan15h ago

Trolls on Metacritic, must be a new thing or you were born yesterday

The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games

LiViNgLeGaCY16h ago

You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.

MrNinosan15h ago

Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.

Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.

Flenter13h ago

Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer2d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot2d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno2d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay2d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno13h ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK23h ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
