This is what the start of a challenge looks like The core you select is what you’ll be stuck with for the duration of a Node, so if you get stuck, just back out and pick a new one. There’s even re like in the original Superhot, but it’s unlocked very late in the game. Core abilities during the game, including re, which reduces your maximum health but lets you speed towards an enemy and instantly pummel them, or re, which calls katanas back to your hand after it is thrown. Called re, this gives you three hearts, letting you get hit twice before needing to restart a challenge node. To make this challenge more bearable, the game provides you with a safety net.

Instead of linear series of challenges, Mind Control Delete puts you into an ASCII map, with each node on the map sending you into a random selection of levels, and you need to complete all of the levels in a node to complete it. The map is deceptively simpleĪs I mentioned above, Mind Control Delete operates differently from the original Superhot. Most of the game’s achievements have the word “MORE” in them. It’s what you see whenever you start the game after you complete the prologue, and after unlocking each new level. The word “MORE” and what it can mean is a central theme of Mind Control Delete. Killing this figure makes the credits run, and shows a screen saying only “MORE.” Several repeats of this same level later, the game begins in earnest. Mind Control Delete begins with a basic tutorial, and a few short levels, reminiscent of the original Superhot, before the player is confronted with a non hostile figure sitting in a chair. To that end, Mind Control Delete is an amazing successor to Superhot While the stand alone expansion doesn’t have the meticulously crafted set pieces of the original game, instead opting for procedurally selected gauntlets of the game’s various stages, not only is the gameplay experience just as tense and enjoyable as the original Superhot, but the story it drip feeds you is just as intriguing.

Not only did the game give you a unique gameplay experience, the story it told was no less unique, involving a transhumanist conspiracy and wonky metanarrative elements. While this sounds like it might be an easy game, what it turned out to be was a high tension first person puzzle game. If for some reason you aren’t familiar with Superhot by SUPERHOT Team, it’s a first person shooter where time flows faster the more you move.
