“Good gameplay, incredibly pretentious ending”
“♥♥♥♥ drags on way too long with the powers, shoulda kept it simple, still fun tho”
“Far overstays its welcome. Its fun, its more superhot but it doesn't introduce enough meaningful changes to really be worth paying full price. Get it on sale.”

“incredibly fun gameplay, I would say it improves upon the original in almost every way (I still think the original level design is better). I personally find the ending incredibly funny (they warn you of the…”

“It is "SUPERHOT" but MORE. I enjoyed the rouge-lite aspects of this sequel and the abilities you can get. Each level has you run through 5 or so arenas with the punishment for death being a restart on the entire level.…”

“This could have been one of my favourite games. The idea is great, the gameplay is fun and it's more challenging than I expected. But everything surrounding the gameplay is awful, annoying, confusing... It already was…”

“Superhot: Mind Control Delete takes superhot in a new direction as a rogue-like. Sporting a new look and some stunning animations it is just as fun, if not more so, than the original superhot.”

“Mind Control Delete, or SHRL (Superhot Rogue-Like as it was once known), asks you only one thing. Do you value your time? Are you willing to do mundane tasks over and over to squeeze all the joy out of a fun video game?”

“This is the lame version of the first game. The fun has been carefully removed and nothing but boredom and annoyance is left. Some good ideas but terrible execution.”

“Negative review simply because the ending IS SO INEXCUSEABLY BAD! I think ALL with the intention of finishing the game need to know that [spoiler]you have to spam the ESC key FOR 2.5 HOURS (it used to be **EIGHT** btw)…”

“Came completley overstays its welcome”
“Pretty dissapointing. Instead of original and authentic story like in the 1st one. It's just series of same 8 maps with different enemy spawns that just run at you. There is a story that is given to you by 1 line of…”

“An ending that forces you to wait for 2,5 real hours? Haven't seen anything more retarded than that anywhere...”
“Meh. Just meh. The gameplay is a lot of fun. Some find it repetitive, and I see where they come from, but I enjoyed it. What got me is the story. The idea that the player is greedy for wanting to play the game and…”
“Just like the first game, this was addicting, the level progression was kinda irritating since you had to replay all levels in a node which are RNG if you failed but still , had tons of fun.”

— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“If you haven't played SUPERHOT go play SUPERHOT. If you have played SUPERHOT there's even more with this game.”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“What a disappointment. Mind Control Delete turns Superhot into a roguelike, which actually sounds like a great idea, but was executed so poorly. It only included the idea of upgrades and restarting on death... so it's a roguelike in name only. The rest of the time you'll be…”
