Mind Control Delete maximises the 2016 original’s thrilling yet meditative action, greatly expanding the number of weapons available with everything from katana swords and assault rifles to pencils and hypodermic syringes. Superhot is designed to help one action flow seamlessly into the next, to make your responses to its shifting combat puzzles seem deliberate and sleek. Objects such as bottles and bricks can be picked up and tossed at opponents when an antagonist staggers and drop their weapons, you can catch them before they hit the ground and turn them on their previous owner.
Superhot’s combat plays up to this notion of planned improvisation.
You’re able to spot and sidestep bullets with ease, and to plan your attacks with the precision and thought normally reserved for strategy games. Everything is abstracted apart from the targets you need to eliminate and the projectiles coming to kill you. Look around or press a button and the game will begin to speed up, projectiles and adversaries flying towards you in a flash. Enemies stand like statues while bullets linger in the air, moving as if through treacle. Remain still in one of its wickedly stylish combat arenas, and the world will hang in an almost-frozen state. T aking place in a computer simulation where the world is carved from alabaster and your opponents made of orange glass, Superhot hinges on the gimmick that time only moves when you do.
