SUPERHOT MIND CONTROL DELETE FULL RELEASE DATE PS4
It also bears noting that, at least on the PS4 Pro, Mind Control Delete is prone to technical hitches. In fact, the only thing worth noting here is that the ending is astonishingly misguided for, in artistically recreating a ‘reboot sequence,’ it essentially forces the player to wait 8 real-time hours in order to be able to go through the game again. There is no plot, per se, but the game does try to make a point about (game) addiction and excess. Making matters worse is the fact that Mind Control Delete does not break up its combat with anything substantial. As such, the fact of the matter is that the gameplay becomes extremely repetitive. And whereas there is fun to be had in clearing encounters as efficiently as possible, this does not last long when every gauntlet presents mostly the same challenges. This ultimately makes it so that it is more important to be efficient than to tinker around. As it stands, despite the fact that some hacks are more mechanically interesting than others, there is not much reason to not go after the ones that either restore health or increase it altogether. Perhaps this would not have been a problem at all were the choices interesting and if there was room for strategy and experimentation.

Instead, you must choose between two randomly assigned ones as you make your way through a gauntlet of stages. That is because players never get full control of the hacks. In fact, most (if not all) of the elements introduced to spice up the combat – dubbed ‘hacks’ – are hampered by the roguelike nature of the game. Nor does it change significantly enough to make the about 10 hours-long campaign worth seeing all the way through. Sadly, however, the main problem with Mind Control Delete is that the gameplay loop is simply not interesting enough. Now, in theory, the idea of a puzzle game that mixes and remixes the challenges it throws at the player is attractive, and Superhot has exactly the kind of addictive gunplay to make this work. Mind Control Delete leaves scripted gameplay scenarios behind in favor of procedurally-generated levels. The major departure from the by-now established formula lies in how the game is structured and how it plays out. It is as thrilling as ever to dodge speedy bullets when time is stopped almost to a halt and then meticulously dispatch everyone in your way. Mind Control Delete, then, retains much of that combat puzzler DNA fans of the franchise love.
