SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE

I was a huge fan of the original Superhot so when I got Mind Control Delete free as a gift I was looking forward to it. The game play itself is very similar to Superhot and is still a lot of fun. Sadly outside of the game play Mind Control Delete has found several ways to annoy me to the point that I was happy to be done with the game. Even on it’s last few minutes it was finding ways to not respect my time and introduce ways to sap any enjoyment I had left. The first thing the game did that I loathed was introduce enemies that couldn’t be killed. They spawn randomly, sometimes not at all, and when they do all you can do is try to avoid them. I have always hated enemies I had to run from and in this genre it is inexcusable. The worst part was that they get introduced after you get granted certain powers and later in the game they stop appearing after you are forced to give the powers back. I never used any of these powers, if I had the option to give them back right away and save myself some anger I would have. Later in the game on the very last level you are also forced to give up. You can try to keep battling through the levels but you are forced to give up everything including the ability to move and look around. You are meant to give up until you are past it. Then you are forced to press the “E” button over and over for about 1-2 minutes to manually trigger the “super hot” voice that is usually automatic. There is no reason to force the player to do this but you are forced regardless. After that you have to manually move the cursor up along the code to spell out messages. I should add that even hitting Escape didn’t bring up the main menu, I had to Alt-F4 in order to close the game at this point as I had enough. I have heard that the game even forced people to sit through a 2 and a half hour wait unless you wanted to edit a file to skip it. I don’t know whose idea that all of this garbage was but they should be fired as they ruined the game.

Very good game. Really likeing it.

great game, worth the price...

I get what they were going for. I think the first game would be my bag, but I can't play it... thanks for crashing before startup by the way... first game sounds good, this is just random encounters over and over again, as far as I have seen. Good tech demo but poor execution.

game is much worse than superhot 1, but not bad
