Most videogames are time-travel comedies. With enough can-do spirit and plenty of failed timelines, the army of me prevails.

Super Time Force resurrects the ghosts of our less-winning selves to create a playable palimpsest. By collapsing time and making legible every past informing your present, the ordinary, everyday videogame experience is revealed. The gaming mind becomes temporarily visible to itself. Time the flat circle indeed.

I don’t love its chunky pixel art or endlessly referential humor, but I admire its gusto. We get a meta-videogame without the hand-wringing, one that embraces all that’s silly and profound in a beloved genre.

Took the time-rewind gimmick from Braid and built on it in a shooter in a pretty clever way. Worth a play!
