  • Summary: ONE OF US. ONE OF US. Still outnumbered, still outgunned. Enemies swirl around you in a storm of slow motion violence. Battle after battle, each fallen foe pushes you closer to the secrets hiding in the game and each secret gives you more powers to fight the System’s unending opposition.

    SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete is an exquisite game, that ticks all the boxes of what a sequel should be. I loved my time with this game with some playthroughs taking me into the wee small hours of the morning. (If you know me and how much I need sleep, this is quite the accomplishment) What this game does beautifully is condense all the flare and pageantry of a full-on FPS into a few minutes of intense bullet-time action which will leave you smiling from ear to ear.

    SUPERHOT: Mind Control Delete is designed to last much longer than the original game, although part of this additional duration suffers in the form of repeating levels over and over again. Still, it's a pleasure to return to this digital universe to face new challenges with the help of new tools, and it's great to know that the core gameplay that made the first game a success is still where it should be.

    Taking Superhot's amazing and addictive gameplay and expanding it in several directions, Superhot: Mind Control Delete feels exactly right. New bad guys, new powers, and roguelike randomized levels keep the game feeling much more rollicking than its intellectual predecessor. Mind Control Delete offers what the original game did not; endless hours of Superhot fun. Not bad for a free add on.

    Superhot: Mind Control Delete represents an innovative and meaningfully iterative take on the Superhot formula, swapping out some of its more cerebral design for a much larger, roguelike effort that proves once again that the series is one of the most innovative shooters on the market today.

    SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE is more SUPERHOT with a semi-roguelike twist. The skills and new enemy types keep things interesting even as things can get more furstrating towards the tail end. Those who are invested in the story get more of that too, the rest of us can just shoot and slash in slow motion as the whole world shatters around us.

    Mind Control Delete is a somehow experimental expansion that brings exactly what we wanted: more Superhot and new ideas.

    Superhot: Mind Control Delete’s obsession with MORE makes for an inventive narrative hook and leads to some meaningful gameplay additions, but that central theme also ends up dampening its best features. Mixing branching upgrade paths with the sublime impromptu core Superhot gameplay makes this standalone expansion a blast for more than a few hours as it continually supplies new ways to experience the same game. But the newfound sense of replayability begins to dissipate as those same tricks are repeatedly pulled over the course of the overly long campaign and all but guarantee some fatigue despite the constantly changing variables. Superhot left players wanting MORE and Mind Control Delete demonstrates that that might have been a good idea.

    Played Game Time: 12 Hours

    A great rouge lite first-person shooter that’s also a great extension within the superhot universe. A pretty good amount of content and difficulty. Levels are reused in some areas which can make the game get stale a bit faster than it should but does not take away from the overall experience. Looks great, controls great, and sounds great. If you’re a fan of Superhot or great FPS games, pick this game up as soon as you can.    … Expand

As something I got for free, it is hard to complain too much about this, but I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone spend 25 bucks on this arcade experience with very little actual content.… Expand

There isn't enough areas or variation to achieve the infinite replayability that the developers were going for and it often feels very repetitive. The Superhot mechanic is still great, and the hacks (run modifiers) are an interesting addition, but much of this game feels like a lot of very promising parts that never come together to create something interesting.… Expand

Then again it's also entirely unfair that the game at the end forces you to wait 2 hours, leaving the game running all that time. Or that for some console Gamers, they're stuck with eight hours and a pite tially corrupted save. Couldn't leave this review on steam either. As soon as I heard about the ending, uninstalled and refunded. Game developers; We have lives. We pay electricity bills. We might want to play other games after yours. Or do other things with our computer or console. This attempt at being thought provoking is little more than a tone deaf troll.

    Worse is that you considered eight hours acceptable. Or 24. And never considered console releases would auto shutdown and corrupt saves. How utterly disconnected from reality must you be? How self absorbed does one have to be when clumsy metatextual **** matters more than remembering the needs of your customers and their systems? So, much as I was looking forward to playing the game, I cannot accept or support such a stupid move. Yes, I could skip the time in game, edit the save file, whatever. Shame your console customers can't. Thoughtless of you wasn't it to not even consider their needs. But frankly, for the disdain and contempt you show for your customers time, you don't deserve my custom, my time or my money.

    I will go and enjoy a game that at least respects that customers have lives outside their games. Maybe you should remember that next time rather than making your customers suffer an utterly pretentious and poorly thought out fart that you thought would be deep.    … Expand
