    A classic standalone add-on with some new features. The developers did not call it a sequel, but they tried to expand on the unique idea of the original.

    Ultimately, it’s more Superhot – stylish, thrilling, reliably weird – and that’s no bad thing. But it’s the first game in the series that doesn’t feel like a revelation. [Issue#179, p.77]

    More complete and longer than the original Superhot, certainly, but suddenly less intense.

    The fundamental flaw of Mind Control Delete is that it's adding complication to a game premise that works largely because of its simplicity. That complexity hasn't ruined Mind Control Delete. There's still a ton of enjoyment to be had, and there's still nothing else quite like it out there. But without a doubt, it's fun that expires a lot faster than the original.

    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.

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.… Full Review »

    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.    … Full Review »

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.    … Full Review »
