I covered this game as part of my coverage of the Humble Choice for June 2022

The better version of Superhot.

I enjoyed the original Superhot, but when the developer released Superhot: Mind Control Delete, I finally found the version of Superhot I always wanted to play. Normally I would say a rogue-lite could never beat a well-scripted narrative but Superhot: Mind Control Delete is the only exception I have for that rule.

The original Superhot was a simple idea, time moves when the player moves. Superhot: Mind Control Delete uses the same format but pushes players to beat escalating levels of challenges, battling against enemies in a procedural format and even giving players bonuses to assist in tackling the waves and rooms of enemies. Though after only a couple of mistakes, players will be reset and have to tackle a new randomized set of levels. It’s the same gameplay that made the original Superhot popular but done in a way that will make every run of a level as intense as the first time.

Pick this up if you enjoyed the original Superhot. Technically this was given away to people who owned Superhot before it came out, but if you somehow don’t have it and enjoyed the original or at least the concept of it, I recommend checking this title out. I put in over twelve hours into this title and was extremely happy with the experience.
