One small problem is that they never tell you how many enemies you have left and if you are making a risky final play you can be left at the wrong end of a bullet because you lost count or the number increased without your knowledge. The number starts low and eventually climbs into the double digits as you progress through the game. Because the spawns are randomized, you only have to kill a certain number of enemies per level before all the other enemy heads will explode in tandem. The randomization comes from where enemies will spawn from and the levels that you will get in each node.Īnother big difference between MCD and the original is that you don’t have to kill everyone in a level. Each level’s layout will remain the same throughout the game, there may be some small tweaks like a hole covered up but all items and cover will mostly remain in the same areas throughout. I can already hear people turning this game away because of the randomized levels but it’s handled with care. The benefit of this to the player is that they can acquire powerups through the node, the downside is that you can only take so many hits before you have to start the node over again.

Unlike the original where you just loaded up a level and killed everyone in it, MCD has nodes where you play through a series of randomized levels in a row. New to Mind Control Delete (henceforth MCD) are some roguelite elements. Time only moves when you do, so that allows you to dodge bullets and plan your success in what would ordinarily be an overwhelming situation. Kill the glowing red enemies by any means possible using guns, melee weapons, or your own fists. The basic concept in the standalone follow-up Mind Control Delete remains the same. On top of that, there was a cynical science fiction story that while Ben Davis didn’t enjoy in his review, appealed to the Phillip K. The concept was so simple but making time only move when you did was a welcome breath of fresh air. Released: J(PC, Xbox One, PS4), TBA (Nintendo Switch)ĭespite being relatively short and what some would call scant in content, the original Superhot was a game-changer in the shooter genre. Superhot: Mind Control Delete (PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch) Without a doubt, I can now rank Superhot: Mind Control Delete among that pantheon along with possibly one of the most fun games I’ve ever played.

Return of the Obra Dinn and Titanfall 2′s “Effect and Cause” level comes to mind when thinking about games that use the medium to its full advantage. Conversely, I find myself lavishing praise on the ones that do. Alternatively, now that VR gamers are used to walking around virtually and all major VR systems support roomscale VR natively, there's little reason the real meat of the main game can't make its way to your favorite virtual reality platform.It’s the most innovative game I’ve played in years…againĪs I continue to get older and somewhat jaded with video gaming, I’m finding myself getting bored with run-of-the-mill games that don’t use the medium to its full advantage. So what can we expect, going forward? Realistically, some form of MIND CONTROL DELETE could be added to the VR version of Superhot, but it would take a fair bit of modification if the current style of play in Superhot VR is maintained. After all, the VR version of the game made $2 million in a single week during the Holiday 2019 time period, and it's clear that plenty of folks love the ideas put forth in the game. Thankfully, for those of us that have a longing desire to return to the world of Superhot, the developers haven't counted out a possible sequel or expansion to the incredibly popular title.
While the team is still feverishly working away on the rogue-like expansion SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE, plenty of folks have been clamoring for more white-and-red VR action in a more involved way.
