More than any other form of media, video games possess a profound power to mess with your head. Whether it’s rewiring your brain to solve puzzles, to forcibly shift imaginations to fresh perspectives, or stuff eyes with kaleidoscopic colour and flow, the games on this rundown will completely mess with your head.
Superliminal
Superliminal encourages players to reconsider how they perceive reality, effectively rewiring their brains to make sense of its gluttony of optical illusions and forced perspective puzzles. Except, each scenario in Superliminal doesn’t have to make sense; in combining 2D shapes to make 3D objects, and in twisting perspective to manipulate the size of said objects, Superliminal is a more dreamlike affair, and, just like dreams, leaves a surreal lasting impression.
