![]() If no, I’d suggest you to wait for a discount, as the game performance problems and, above all, its lack of content, make the game not reach the SAVE territory. But is it still worth the money? Well, kind of: do you have a more powerful platform where you can play it? If yes, then buy it there: the game doesn’t use the features of the Nintendo Switch anyway. Superliminal will force you to reconsider the nature and power of perspective, as you navigate a dreamworld by manipulating your very surroundings. Is Superliminal for the Switch the best version of the game? No. From developers Pillow Castle, Superliminal is a first-person narrative adventure that pits you against the absurd constructs of your very own subconscious. In docked mode the frame drops disappear and make space to an aliasing that gets all over the place and ruins the game’s environments: a real shame, considering the rather simple graphics of the game. ![]() Even corridors as simple as these ones can result in the game having serious performance issues. Picking up objects, entering new rooms and even walking can result in the game having noticeable drops that really break the immersion. ![]() In addition to that, the console hardware (in handheld mode) and a non-top-of-the-line optimization result in frequent framerate drops, even in tight corridors and without any real reason. Superliminal mechanics do not require anything except for a pad to be fully utilized: this means that no special features of the Nintendo Switch are used.

This doesn’t mean that the various puzzles are bad, far from it, but that there are no outstanding ideas in their implementation. ![]() While new puzzle elements get added as the player progresses, all different stages get lost in the pile, as there are no levels that really stand out from the mass. As for the game mechanics, this giant cube could easily fit in my hand! Thus, after an initial tutorial phase, the difficulty curve goes up, but not enough to provide a challenge, especially in the “late” game sections. Puzzles are fun but, once you get the hang of it, they can be solved quite quickly with no real difficulty. Let’s start by saying that this Superliminal’s version for the Nintendo Switch suffers from the very same problems of the original game, namely a noticeable lack of content that results in the game being rather short, with no real replayability value. ![]()
