What players say

I kind of struggled on how to review this game, to be honest. Because here's the thing. The original SUPERHOT is a genuinely amazing game. Gameplay wise, it's fun and interesting, compounded with an intriguing story that drew me in. It's a short game, but one that's very worth trying out. MCD is by all means an upgrade over the original SUPERHOT formula. There are new mechanics, weapons, enemy types, and of course...

EDIT: I cannot recommend this game. It is simply too repetitive and has no story. They should've made a narrative sequel to the first game but instead they gave us a mind numbing roguelike. There is no point to this game. Hmm this one's interesting. Normally I'd say it's an easy recommend if you liked the first game because this is MORE. SUPER. HOT. The movement and animations are nicer, there's new guns, more...

I played the first SUPERHOT, and while this one is not technically a full on sequel, it is still the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
