    What a masterpiece. Loved it. One of my favorite games ever. Clapped at the conclusion the same way I did in endgame part 2.

    This game is unlike any other game I have ever played. It is constantly changing its gameplay mechanics forcing the player to consistently think outside of the box.

It is constantly changing its gameplay mechanics forcing the player to consistently think outside of the box. The atmosphere of this game made me feel like someone was watching me the whole time. It's unnerving and uncomfortable, but in a way that feels appropriate and unique. The levels and story are somewhat vague making most of the game ambiguous. This blends together nicely with the atmosphere and the ending. It almost feels like this game was made for me. I don't know many other games that do such a great job capturing the oddcore aesthetic quite like this one with its liminal spaces and whatnot. I could go on and on about this game, but the less you know before playing the better. Never have I ever played a game that blew my mind quite like this one.… Expand

    Superliminal is a simple yet complex perspective based puzzle-game. It has plenty of charm and aims to tell a simple finite narrative. It's a game that asks you to stick with it till the end and it will reward you for doing so.

    A really solid puzzle game, takes a great mechanic and really makes it work. The game will put a spin and twist on the main mechanic and it is enough to keep you guessing and refreshing until the end. Great voice acting too.

    It has a large amount of innovation and creativity put into this game. For one, the mechanic of reshaping objects based on perception, makes the game feel as innovative and fun as portal was. A true enjoyable experience that made me want to 100% it. Truly a great game.

    Holy crap this is a really good game! Was pleasantly surprised when I played through it, expected just another puzzle game but this one is insane with the perception views and puzzles. Highly recommend this. I normally dislike puzzle games but this game is awesome!

    Superliminal is a first class experience. What an incredibly beautiful game. The developers have found a perfect balance between executing the puzzles and telling the underlying idea without losing the space for your own interpretation. There's just enough to keep you playing without getting discouraged by over-thought-out puzzles. The style and music complete the package. Kudos to theSuperliminal is a first class experience.

    Desde que conocí Portal me gustó este tipo de juegos Puzzle en 3D y veo en Superliminal una ida original y un buen uso de iluciones opticas e iluminación. Le pondría un 10/10 pero pienso que le falto optimización en el XBOX One S y los graficos podrian ser mejor. De todos modos un excelente juego.

    Um bom jogo curto de puzzle com mecânicas de perspectivas inéditas, me lembrou um pouco de "Portal" e "Stanley Parable", sua mente irá explodir com tanta ilusão de ótica que esse jogo apresenta de forma criativa, se os puzzles fossem um pouco mais trabalhados e apresentassem uma dificuldade maior com certeza seria um dos jogos já feitos.

    Nota final: 8,2

    This game absolutely changed my life. I played it one year ago, replayed it, and talk about it all the time. The ending had me in tears from the storyline. If you give up easily and don't see it through, you won't like it and won't get the full effect. Play it all the way through.

I played it one year ago, replayed it, and talk about it all the time. The ending had me in tears from the storyline. If you give up easily and don't see it through, you won't like it and won't get the full effect. Play it all the way through. It is a true spiritual experience by the end of it and is graphically intense and beautiful. It embeds concepts of perseverance, perspective shifting, and mental health in a way that is so natural and non contrived. As a psychology doctoral student, this game felt like a dream I had years ago of someone creating a game to actually change your life and create a positive influence through a fun means that doesn't even feel like you are creating change within yourself. It was frustrating at times of course, but isn't everything worth anything in life hard? A fun puzzle game with the added bonus of feeling like you read a self help or mindfulness book. I recommend this game to everyone. Kudos to the developers!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is very good abd reminds me of both Portal and Stanley Parable. The controller gameplay is amazing and I really liked the story. Sadly, it doesn't have multiple ending, but that is ok. The narrator's voice is awesome and the idea behind of the game is amazing.… Expand

    I wouldn’t consider Superliminal to be a super challenging puzzle game yet it left me dumbfounded on a regular basis. Every couple of minutes it throws out a little trick, stopping me in my tracks for a second just for my brain process and re-calibrate. It’s only a few hours long but it’s densely packed with mind-bending goodness.

    Pillow Castle's proposal is very different and original, showing how the possibilities can be infinite according to the imagination of the creators.

    Superliminal is a great puzzle experience, full of smart ideas that are richly realized. The game's playful use of the first-person camera and clever perspective manipulation puzzles take video game tropes and mechanics most players will be familiar with and wring something truly fresh out of them. Superliminal achieves its clear central aim--it offers up some genuinely fresh perspectives on what first-person puzzle games can do.
