Critic Reviews
While the difficulty spikes near the end of the campaign were frustrating, I never felt like it was an unfair or insurmountable challenge. With procedural generation keeping the experience fresh, and exciting abilities to make you even more capable in combat, Superhot: Mind Control Delete is an exciting follow up that had me saying “one more try” well past when I planned to stop playing.
Brian Shea · Aug 03, 2020 Reviewed on XB1The original Superhot was a truly unique experience, masterful in its execution of a simple concept. Mind Control Delete loses some of the novelty of the original but succeeds in exploring new ways to make the game fun. It's a great example of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and while some will lament the loss of hand-crafted levels, most should be happy with the endlessly-replayable collection of content now in their hands.
Quinn Levandoski · Jul 27, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThere is never a period where you get to rethink your approach to the same level, never a chance to try a new approach. However, this, as far as I’m concerned, isn’t a bad thing. Superhot as a puzzle was engaging, but Superhot as a randomly generated shooter is just as interesting if you can get past the issues that can rise up from time to time.
TKras98 · Jul 22, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewEven when the game got hard or I died on the last level of a node, there is an undeniable amount of megalomaniacal fun to be had when time bends to your will. Mind Control Delete is an improvement on everything that made the original Superhot great. It's a power fantasy that makes you work for the right to feel like a god and when your plans come together it's a joyous romp to play.
Anthony Marzano · Jul 21, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewSUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE is basically more SUPERHOT, but with an uneven gimmick. Some might love the randomly generated perks and challenges, others might find it annoying, as it’s less about your skills and more about hoping for the RNG not to troll with you on the next run.
Leo Faria · Jul 19, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewIt's just a little wider, and that meta-storyline and clinical creepiness is absolutely still part of the experience. Endless and Infinite modes mean you'll never run short of baddies to break, a task that's just as satisfying here -- if not more so with the added power-ups.
Stephen Tailby · Jul 15, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIn the end, Superhot: Mind Control Delete is simply an amazing title. Back in 2016, SUPERHOT really was the most innovative shooter we’d played in years, and four years on, the series is still as exciting as ever. With new levels, cool weapons, more creative settings and excellent sound design and music, there’s nothing quite like it.
Becca Smith · Jul 15, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewThe fundamental flaw of Mind Control Delete is that it's adding complication to a game premise that works largely because of its simplicity. That complexity hasn't ruined Mind Control Delete. There's still a ton of enjoyment to be had, and there's still nothing else quite like it out there. But without a doubt, it's fun that expires a lot faster than the original.
Justin Clark · Jul 14, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIt’s fair to say this is true of the whole experience. Whilst MIND CONTROL DELETE is not quite as brilliantly unique as its predecessor due to the nature of sequels, it is a very thoughtful addition to the series. Its narrative is intriguing and its balancing systems work well. Whilst the repetition of levels can occasionally become grating, the end result is polished, interesting and a great value.
James Bentley · Jul 10, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewMIND CONTROL DELETE takes what made the first game such a revelation and adds more cherries on top, providing one of the most innovative shooters in the years since SUPERHOT’s release. Chuck in the fact that it’s totally free to those who previously purchased SUPERHOT and you have an irresistible power trip that’s one of the best games of the year.

Fast paced first person shooter game. While standing still does help, you still have to have quick thinking and expert handling skills cause while time does stop it only slows down projectiles. All it takes is one hit to kill and die, so you have to be aware of your entire surrounding. Controls are very simple so a tutorial is not necessary. There are only sound effects and no background music since its really not needed in this type of game.

About the game
You stand in the center of a firefight. A hail of slow motion bullets is inching slowly towards your face. You see bright red enemies frozen in place as they run towards you. Weapons in hand, they’re stepping over the shattered remains of the foes you just dispatched. Everything is sharp, silent, and still. Light flickers in the red crystal shards coating the cold concrete floor around you. There’s a gun slowly turning in flight right in front of you. An enemy must have dropped it as their dying body exploded in a shower of brilliant red shrapnels.
