The problem with a game that messes with your head like Superluminal is that when the game glitches, you can't tell if it was on purpose or not.

Like you've already heard by now, this is very clearly aping Portal and The Stanley Parable in terms of presentation. However! The visual tricks and perspective-based illusions do more than enough to make the game stand on its own merits. It's not too long and keeps things fresh by constantly throwing new ideas at you. It's nice when a puzzle game makes you mumble "Whoa..." every once in a while.

Definitely recommended, but only on powerful hardware. I tried this on my XB1S last year and the framerate was so low it was making me motion sick. Runs great on Series X though!

I shudder to imagine the performance on Switch.

I really should make a review for this one, I found myself not really liking its dependance on the shocking factor, but that's only upon reflection, 'cause agree, this game has really cool moments. The moon puzzle, like... Whoa.

Great review!

@DemonAndGames Thanks! Yeah the moon puzzle was cool, but right when I did it I thought "Oh right, like in Portal" lol
