  • Summary: SUPERHOT is the first person shooter where time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It's just you, outnumbered and outgunned, grabbing the weapons of fallen enemies to shoot, slice, and maneuver through a hurricane of slow-motion bullets.

    From the opening stages to its thrilling conclusion, every single moment within SUPERHOT is a memorable one. Even a year removed from its initial release, its innovations are unmatched. Even those that aren’t typically a fan of the genre owe it to themselves to check out one of the finest games released in years.

    Super Hot is a first person shooter unlike any other. It’s very narrative driven, mind blowing, fps similar to games such as Portal or The Stanley Parable. It’s quite the mind trip and the time driven game mechanic is actually a lot of fun. Just be prepared to run around saying “Super Hot” in your head for the next few days. It’s short but sweet and well worth the trip into this virtual world.

    Without a doubt it’s one of the most original shooters ever created, but I must warn you that if you don’t get hooked on challenges, you’ll be done with the game in about 3 hours, because it’s how long the campaign takes. [10/2017, p.72]

    Playing Superhot is probably the closest I'll ever come to feeling like James Bond. I've never experienced anything quite like throwing an empty weapon at an enemy, knocking their weapon out of their hands, grabbing it in midair, and then shooting them with it. If that sounds awesome to you (and why wouldn't it?) then make sure to give Superhot a try.

    Superhot and its VR version finally arrive to PS4 after collecting awards and accolades on Microsoft platforms. It’s an original game, addictive, intelligent and very fresh for those who did not play last year, also it’s more immersive in VR but it has many problems of natural handling with the PS Move.

    A crafty base concept and careful execution make Superhot one of the most intriguing games to come from the recent class of indie-developed shooters. Its bizarre setting and puzzle-like approach are refreshingly original and hopefully something the team will now expand upon following Superhot’s early success.

    Wonky tech and punishing challenges will leave your cold, but with our without VR, this has moments of brilliance that are worth the price of admission alone. [Oct 2017, p.88]

But more fun than that was just gawking at the incredibly beautiful graphics this game has to offer, you can literally see the pixels of an enemy crumbling down, just goddamn fun and amazing.… Expand

    SuperHot is a first person shooter with the clever feature that time, and hence the bad guys, only move when you do.

    There is a story of    SuperHot is a first person shooter with the clever feature that time, and hence the bad guys, only move when you do.

    There is a story of sorts but the game is made up of a series of short, self-contained levels, that have an almost puzzle like quality as try to figure out how best to tackle the enemies. There is a decent amount of variety across the levels and the gameplay is enjoyable tense. The quick restart helps prevent any frustration that could occur after multiple deaths and gives Superhot that “one more go” addictiveness.

    There has been criticism of the game for its length, and this is understandable as the story lasts less than three hours, but personally I feel the game would have began to outstay it’s welcome had it lasted much longer. There are also a series of unlockable challenges for those that do want to continue playing after the main story mode is completed.

    It may be short lived but Superhot is an innovative (I had to get that word in somewhere) shooter/puzzle hybrid that is well worth picking up if you can find it for a good price.    … Expand
