![]() ![]() Hacks come up randomly through your runs through the levels and provide additional support to your efforts. You can give yourself a bit of an edge over your enemies, however, with hacks. It might be a bit frustrating to go through a new set of levels that you haven’t seen before, but as much as it seems like an action game, it really wants you to slow down and survey your options. ![]() Dying means restarting the entire chapter, but it’s not as bad as it seems.Įvery time you die, the game will regenerate the chapter randomly, providing you a new experience that may be a bit harder or easier as a result. Now, you start each chapter with three hearts and can exhaust through them as you play through the levels, giving you a bit of a safety blanket to play more creatively, in turn. Regarding health, in the original two games, you were playing through one level at a time where every misstep meant restarting the level. The overhead map is a new feature and lets you control your path as each level branches out randomly, with only one path correctly leading you to the exit. What Superhot: Mind Control Delete changes up the most is the procedural creation of the level system and the health system. Beyond that, you are able to rewatch your destruction at full speed after each encounter, and it’s quite a visual feast to behold. It very much feels like conducting an orchestra or dance number filled with prismatic explosions and death. You and these glassy baddies follow each other around the level, trading blows and bullets, all while trying to avoid each others’. When I use the words ‘dance’ or ‘ballet’ to describe how it feels, it’s not inaccurate in the slightest. Enemies, bullets, and objects only move when you do, so your control of the action or the results thereof, are entirely up to your precise movements. ![]() The primary function of the game is to make you feel like an unstoppable killing machine, so there’s something to say for all that. It’s a reflective thing, and it sort of makes you ponder, while slinging common objects at red enemies, how purposeful this dance really is. Each level rewards you with the words ‘SUPER HOT’ as if it was describing your performance using some kind of ironic lingo to demonstrate your inane ability to slaughter mercilessly. You are presented with a ‘game’ to play that redefines the idea of violence and control by suggesting that by playing, you are either actually killing real people or something even more dastardly, and down into the rabbit hole you go. If you’re not yet acquainted with what this series is all about, it’s rather simple. Superhot: Mind Control Delete feels like it takes the core concept to another level, offering you a procedural experience of violence and mayhem that makes perfect sense within the twisted fourth-wall-breaking story that only a series like Superhot could deliver. ![]() Hand-crafted experiences such as these continued into the realm of VR with Superhot VR, where your body could also control the flow of time and you had to avoid bullets flying at your head. Running through white-washed, gritty worlds filled to the brim with red figures that wanted to smash you before you smashed them, each level was harder and crazier than the last. The original Superhot was an indie darling, something of which the world had never seen before. Superhot: Mind Control Delete is the third game in the series and while it sticks to the tried and true formula of smashing red enemies made out of glass, it expands the frantic firefights to a ballet through randomly generated rooms full of danger. ![]()
