History YMMV / SUPERHOT

** "SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT." Usually in response to anything that had super or hot in it.

* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/{{SUPERHOT}} Has its own page]]. [[SurpriseCreepy Surprised]]?

* DemonicSpiders: The Ninja in ''MIND CONTROL DELETE'' is the worst of the three EvilCounterpart mooks. On top of being invulnerable like the others, it can deflect bullets like you can, throw its katana at you, and recall it to hit you on the return. It easily has the greatest damage potential of the three.

* BrokenBase: As of the 21st of July 2021, the developers have removed almost all scenes alluding to self harm or suicide from SUPERHOT VR, even after saying they would not remove them as they believed it would "fundamentally alter the game". Originally, the devs put in a toggle function to obscure such content but later removed it completely due to alleged "criticism" of the subject matter. As a consequence however, this did effectively gut the game's story and made it nigh-incomprehensible. Such censorship has been widely panned by the community, to the extent it has even damaged the developers' reputation with their fans after they said they wouldn't.
** This not been alleviated when most posts that try to criticize the developers' decision are locked or deleted and the user is banned from the forums.

* EightPointEight: IGN scored the game at 7.5, complimenting the basic gameplay concept, but criticizing the lack of innovation ([[spoiler:apparently the BodySurf ability wasn't enough]]) and cheesy "hacker movie" storyline. Notably (and tellingly), their review is one of the few not to [[spoiler:include the phrase [[ArcWords "It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years."]]]]

** Throwing objects in Superhot VR is very awkward, requiring you to essentially push an object toward what you are aiming at instead of making a proper throwing action, and it's very difficult to do consistently and accurately. This makes levels that rely on accurate throws into a chore, most notably the one that locks inside an elevator and asks you to accurately toss throwing stars at three distant enemies.

* BrokenBase: As of the 21st of July 2021, the developers have removed almost all scenes alluding to self harm or suicided in SUPERHOT VR. Even after the SUPERHOT Team said they would not remove it as they said, 'it would fundamentally alter the game'.

As a consequence however, this did effectively gut the story of the game and made the story mode incomprehensible.

** In ''MIND CONTROL DELETE'', if you can manage to get the Lightning Reflexes and Super Punch hacks, consider that round won. Lighting Reflexes slows any bullets near you to a crawl, and Super Punch lets you punch the bullets back. You'll feel like Superman as you punch back shotgun blasts and assault rifle rounds with no fear of damage. The Mind enemies are still a problem, however.

* SpiritualAdaptation: A game where you dodge bullets in slow mo, fight many, completely identical enemies at once, has a meta element in that the game is an InUniverse program, and the player is basically superhuman (in this case, able to slice bullets in midair, among other things). Are you sure this wasn't based on Film/TheMatrix?

* ScrappyMechanic: ''MIND CONTROL DELETE'', at the end of the game. [[spoiler:The System "deletes" everything and requires the player to keep the game window open and running for eight hours to "restore" it]]. Most players were not amused. [[spoiler:This was patched down to just under three hours, and you can tab out of the window without pausing the countdown.]]

* ToughActToFollow: ''MIND CONTROL DELETE'' has had this reception in some quarters. While it's not viewed as bad, the diminished story elements, combined with the mixed reception to the Roguelike elements has led to less of the buzz that surrounded the original game.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5xBUx8yTRY Psy Pawłowa]] by Republika, which plays during the credits, is rather catchy.

* GoddamnedBats: The Addict in ''MIND CONTROL DELETE'' isn't as dangerous as the other two because its special ability can't hurt you. What it does do is steal your weapon when it swaps into you while discarding its own, and will interrupt you in the middle of getting the requisite kills needed to progress.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: A common complaint. The story can be completed in under 2 hours, and the Speedrun challenges have you attempt to do that in even less time. However, some argue that the story is just an ExcusePlot and the main focus is on the gameplay.
