What differences are there in the gameplay and quality of Superliminal on the different consoles?

Question

I checked the Superliminal user scores on Metacritic:

• Xbox One: 9.6, 1834 ratings
• Switch: 9.5, 1308 ratings
• PC: 7.7, 209 ratings
• PS4: 6.8, 52 ratings

I feel that the gap between these scores is large. If the game is the same on all consoles, then I would not expect a 2-point gap. For the PC, the average should already balance out at 209 ratings. Also, there is a direct correlation between the number of ratings and the score.

Maybe the reason is that Superliminal does function differently on different consoles. Therefore, I would like to know what differences there are in gameplay and the quality of the game on the different consoles.

Answer 1

Based on gameplay footage from YouTube, gameplay and content for Superliminal appears to be near identical between all versions. There were Developer and Challenge Modes added n a free update, but they appear to have been made available on all consoles. The only platform-specific differences I could find are as follows:

• On Nintendo Switch it runs at 30 FPS. The free Xbox Series X/S and PS5 updates run at 60 FPS. The framerate on PC is uncapped. The Android port can target 60 or 30 FPS based on what you set in the options. I do not know the framerate on PS4 or Xbox One.
• The recently released mobile port for iOS and Android is free to download with a trial of the game's first level before you need to purchase the full game. It also has touch controls.
• The PC/Steam version has mod support through the Steam Workshop.
• On PC, the game was initially exclusive to the Epic Games Store for around a year.
