    A surreal trip through an Alice in Wonderland-like dreamscape, Superliminal delights and surprises with level after level of inventive, bizarre puzzles.

    A refreshing and inventive addition to the puzzle genre.

    It might not be the toughest puzzler out there or the most highly polished, and it is true that some puzzles do tend to repeat themselves. None of that matters, however, because this is such a thoroughly unique experience that everyone should taste. The first day this came out, a clip of it went viral and reached the front page of Reddit. It wasn't a speedrun or glitch or anything like that. It was just someone playing the game. That's the kind of novelty this title has, and it is absolutely worth your time to go out and experience it for yourself.

    When Superliminal’s mechanics work, I felt like I was participating in a magic trick, but when they didn’t I felt like the developers were playing a trick on me. I was both amused and frustrated while playing Superliminal, but didn’t think much about the game after its credit’s rolled. Like a fading dream, Superliminal is also a bit ephemeral.

    Superliminal has a fantastic concept, but its puzzles are quite irregular. Some of them are excellent, while some others are not very inspired. If you like this type of first person puzzle-based adventure, though, you should give it a try.

    Superliminal is an interesting work creating an engaging atmosphere, able to capture the player and accompany him, almost unconsciously, towards the end of the journey. And the finale moral will leave a mark in many players.

    A soulless Portal copycat built around a cool gameplay mechanic, which would have flourished in a game by Double Fine or Valve. Superliminal has more originality than other copycats (see The Bradwell Conspiracy), but it’s absolutely devoid of substance and leaves you indifferent.

    This game is simply mind bending and amazing. It’s like portal, but more about experiencing rather than puzzle solving. Your way of perceivingThis game is simply mind bending and amazing. It’s like portal, but more about experiencing rather than puzzle solving. Your way of perceiving the environment will never be the same agin after finishing this game. Gameplay wise, the only mechanism is the forced perspective, it’s very tricky to explain to someone but amazingly intuitive. This level of innovation although is not quite Portal level, it’s definitely good to see from floods of similar 3A titles these days. Expand

    This game... i saw this game while on steam looking for a new game to play, i almost gave up till i saw this game. i almost didn't buy it butThis game... i saw this game while on steam looking for a new game to play, i almost gave up till i saw this game. i almost didn't buy it but then i say the trailer, i proceed to buy it and beat it in a hour, i want to start off with the music. The calm piano in the back when you're beating a puzzle is so nice, i stopped mid level just to hear it and relax, and the fact that every level have its own piano music that you listen to is amazing, i think this is my new favorite piano music to listen to while doing work, its that good. Now the gameplay, it's really simple, you just find the cube or door to beat the puzzle, but you always get confused sometimes because the puzzle is that good. After the gameplay i want to finish with the ending, it's a really good ending, you think of what the narrator is saying and it gets deep because what he says is true. To conclude, this is a great game, to the point that you will probably beat it again, but if you're looking for a calm and relaxing game to beat on a weekend, get this you wont regret it. Expand

    Amazing, but too short. The game is completed in about 4 hours, the walkthrough on YouTube is for 1.5

    A short and very interesting experience. Mechanics are quite unique. Definitely worth a play.
    However, it's very short.
