@Legend - Is Superliminal Any Good?

i see it's on sale on psn (how did i not know this game was even on playstation?!?!?) and i feel like i've heard about this game a lot but i don't really know anything about it.  as my resident puzzle game compadre,..  good or bad?   ..or specifically, worth $12?

Lots of people love it but I thought it was ok.

I'd describe it as an exhibition of puzzle concepts. Many/most rooms have one off mechanics, which is both a pro and a con.  I bought it at $14 and found the price fair but a bit steep for what I got out of it.

we'll I just finished. 

i almost have a hard time calling this a puzzle game.  there were puzzles of course but most were dead simple and there were significant stretches without anything to solve. 

I'd say it was kind of a walking sim or interactive story.  it was pretty good as an interactive story as the "gameplay" really server the main story element of "change your perspective". 

I could have done without the horror bit.  the ending overstayed it's welcome a bit.  overall worth the $12.  wouldn't replay it for the trophies.   

apparently the game can be beaten in 30 minutes but I doubt I could unless there are some shortcuts I didn't find.  flipping every fire alarm and extinguisher is just annoying.

5th highest user rated game on metacritic, of all time.

Glad you found it worth the price.
