Superliminal - 2 Minute Critiques! [Gamepass]
0Superliminal is a mind-bending journey through a dream world, offering a unique and innovative mechanic centered on perspective and optical illusions. You'll navigate a surreal landscape, aiming to escape a recurring nightmare by manipulating the size and shape of objects based on their relative position and angle. Levels are based around different themes, with each comprising a number of linear puzzles organised into rooms as you try to reach elevators to escape your dream world.
Superliminal's standout feature is its groundbreaking mechanic, allowing you to alter object sizes simply by adjusting their proximity to your camera. This clever twist keeps you engaged throughout the game, experimenting with your surroundings to overcome increasingly complex and intricate challenges. Despite the game taking only about 3 hours to complete, it maintains a well-balanced pace that keeps players engaged.
Visually, Superliminal employs a minimalist yet effective art style. While some levels exhibit more colorful and diverse environments than others, the overall design serves the game's surreal mood well. The sound design and music are competent at best, but don't distract from the gameplay.
However, the game does have issues that affect the overall experience. The controls are clunky, which can be a big issue given the precision required for a lot of the puzzles. Some may find certain puzzles obscure or frustrating. The game's puzzles, while constantly clever and intriguing, lack the difficulty and variety to sustain long-term engagement. Clearing the game does unlock a challenge mode that makes the game more difficult, but it's nowhere near as enjoyable or impressive as the first play through, and adds very little. In terms of narative, although it does have sense of humour, the story is inconsequential.
Despite these shortcomings, Superliminal offers a captivating experience for puzzle enthusiasts and optical illusion aficionados. While its brevity and simplicity may deter some, its innovative mechanics and surreal world make it a worthwhile adventure, even if it won't satisfy every gaming palate.
Overall, I give this game 75%
