    Fresh, innovative, cool.
    Brings real life into a dead FPS genre.
    No more CoD-s and MoH trash please, more indie gems like this please.
    Superhot, supercool, super-addictive, SUPERFUN!

    SUPERHOT IS THE MOST INNOVATIVE SHOOTER I'VE PLAYED IN YEARS!

The game's main mechanic is that time only moves when you move, and your objective is t o use this to your advantage and kill everyone who is attacking you. It's fantastically fun and often very tense as you dodge bullets with pinpoint precision and shatter your red, polygonal enemies as you play through the game - or is the game playing you? The plot is executed very cleverly, the mechanics never seem to feel old or stretched too thinly out, and all it's already one of the best games of 2016 in my humble opinion.    … Expand

Without question, this game instantly took its place on the GOAT list in my head before I'd even finished my first run.

    The story is often called "pretentious" by some reviewers. I don't get that at all - it seems to be pretty obvious deadpan humour to me, and very light-hearted. I played this along with a friend when it first came out, and we laughed a lot. I feel a bit sorry for anyone that missed the dry jokes and thought it was a serious attempt to be deep.    … Expand

    Hi Internet, you have to check out SUPERHOT. It is the most innovative shooter I've played in years.
    people complain about the short campaign, but is as much an art piece as it is a game.

    1. Fabuła- Fabuła jest jest świetna gra zadaje pytania na które nigdy nie odpowiada. Robi to jednak tak przyzwoicie że, w tym wypadku jest to wykonane jak dzieło sztuki. Fabuła (10/10)
    2. Rozgrywka- Rozgrywka jest dość trudna na początku lecz do wyuczenia na + napewno opcja swobodnego rzucania bronią. Każda broń (palna) ma swoje przeznaczenie (Karabin- Długie serie z możliwością zabicia wielu wrogów. Shotgun- Krótki zasięg jest świetnie rekompensowany przez rozrzut. Pistolet- Precyzyjna broń. Kiepska na grupe wrogów wybiegających na nas razem, ale w przypadku stopniowego napierania przeciwników sprawia się niezastąpienie).
    Sporą wadą gry jest to że, dynamiczna rozgrywka jest przerywana RETROCHATAMI które są formą narracji opowieści. Przeszkadza się to w realnym wciągnięciu się w gameplay jeżeli tylko na tym nam zależy.
    KONKLUZJA: Granie w SUPERHOT nie interesując się fabułą i ją skipując robimy podobnie jak jedząc kotlet schabowy bez panierki.

It's possibly one of the most innovative first person shooters ever created. If you've never played it, or even heard of it, Superhot is a game where time moves only when you move. That means if you stop and stand still in the middle of a gun fight, so will everything else. People, bullets, even things you throw or shoot. Many people have said that the story is really cheesy, but personally I think it's really interesting, and kind of reminds me of WarGames, if anyone else has seen that movie. It's really well told in the short hour and a half that it lasts. It may seem short, but for the style this game was designed in, I would say it's a good length. It also has a lot of replay value with the endless mode being introduced after the story ends, and you'll want to play the story again to go back and get achievements you may have missed. In total, Superhot is not only one of the most innovative FPS games ever, it's also, so far, the best game I've played in 2016, one of the best KickStarter games ever, and maybe even one of my favorite FPS games ever. 9/10.… Expand

    Every once in a while you see a game that had a GREAT Idea. The idea shows players that new concepts in gaming still exist. An experience that brings you back to some of the best games you have ever played. Seldom if ever does the Creative Direction and follow-through push that great idea even higher. The Creative direction was a throwback to the 90s, executed flawlessly. Great job.

Take a relatively simple game mechanic (ie: portals, or in this game's case, time manipulation while the PC is stationary) and expand and play off of the coolness of time bending in the game's 30+ levels.

The core gameplay isn't much new, but the element of stopping time requires thought, trial, error, and planning. Each level is a short burst of scenario gold. One might be an instigated bar fight, another a parking garage shootout, and another a rooftop brawl. The gameplay is a major strength here, the only problems being more of a nuisance than actual problems. The controls, specifically the mouse controls, can feel a little on the undersensitive side, but the other aspects are perfectly easy to learn. The story is, again, not much new, but it's presented in a minimalistic, meta-fictional way that its intriguing throughout the 2-3 hour playthrough. It's the type of element that isn't going to be the first thought on any players' mind, but the developers clearly thought it through and wrote a sizeable chunk of good narrative. Graphically, it doesn't disappoint. It's simple, polygonal, and stark, with white backgrounds and set-pieces, red enemies, and black objects and weapons. It looks great using this style of technologically inspired assets and will surprise many. The game finally recognizes its strength; after beating the story, a few other modes are unlocked, a challenge mode and an endless mode. Both of these require little explanation but know that they will both extend your playtime pretty far ahead. Is it worth $25? I'm not entirely convinced. But if you like the sound of the game, go ahead and make the purchase, and you'll find a great game here. If you skeptical, like I was, wait for a Steam sale or something and buy then.… Expand

Das Resultat birgt eine unerhörte taktische Tiefe: Geschossen haarscharf ausweichen, Feinde mit Aschenbechern entwaffnen oder sie gleich auf ihre Kollegen schießen lassen – hier geht so ziemlich alles.

    SUPERHOT quickly dragged me in by its strong atmosphere, mysterious story, original concept full of fresh ideas, good level design, many ways to succeed, challenging yet not frustrating difficulty, simple and responsive controls, stylish graphics and atmospheric sounds. It has brought fresh new mechanics to the first person genre and makes you feel like the hero of a Hong Kong action movie dancing between the slow motion bullets and killing a lot of enemies in many ways. Have I even found any cons in this game? Well, maybe the enemies could be more variable and the game menu could be less confusing as it might take a while to find some important settings there.
    Is it suitable for family playing? Well, definitely for fellow gaming fathers themselves. As for the kids, despite there is no blood or drastic scenes it is still a violent game so, I would recommend it for the age 10+ at least.

    Pros:
    - atmosphere
    - story
    - original concept
    - level design
    - many possible solutions
    - balanced difficulty
    - controls
    - graphics and sounds

    - variability of enemies
    - confusing game menu

This game needed to be made, and I didn't even realize it.

    The style works, but I would have preferred a less abstract one. I'm sympathetic to the limitations of being indie though, they are at least distinctive and interesting. Also, I'm sure plenty of people disagree with me, and fair enough.

    The story is extremely meta, and sometimes perhaps a bit over-indulgent. Its clever, but maybe a bit too clever for its own good. I prefer that to being not clever enough, but if your eyes roll into the back of your head when you think a game is trying to be, "Artsy", your going to have to lean pretty hard on the game play for your enjoyment. Luckily, see the first paragraph.

    Although I rarely put stock into the cost/length analysis that seems so common (given a choice between 40 good hours and 2 great ones, Ill pick great every time), Superhot's story mode does push it. Over $20 for a 2 hour campaign makes even me a bit annoyed. There's extras and challenges, but YMMV with that sort of things, and for me, the campaign is the meat and potatoes of a game.

    Overall, if you like the idea of doing amazing things in a shooter that you normally can't manage because human reflexes are only so fast, like experimental narrative and can deal with a little self indulgence, and are very understanding about game length or love having challenges and extras, definitely get this game. And if its half of on a sale, buying it is a total no brainer

    SUPERHOT is one of those games that only a passionate team of indie developers could create. The concept of the game is simple but ingenious: time moves as fast as you do. This leads to a surprisingly tactical game which is almost like a turn-based real-time FPS. Every time you complete a level, it feels very satisfying and seeing the replay in real-time looks cool. Dodging bullets, switching into other enemies, grabbing guns, getting headshots etc. are all basic and rpetitive yet it never gets tiring because there's an element of tactical deliberation to your every move. Unlike a "constant-time" shooter, you really think about what you're doing and it's interesting how dynamic levels can feel. It's by no means an easy game, and much of the skill comes from being able to anticipate where enemies are going to be so that when you fire, your bullets will hit them. It's also about judging the timing. In most shooters, reloading, accuracy and positioning are instinctive - you don't think, you just do it. In SuperHot, due to the non-constant passage of time, you actually NEED to analyse the situation frame by frame; - a level of perfection which cannot possibly happen in other shooters.

    Aside from the excellent gameplay concept, I have to admire both the art style and the lore of the game. It's a very minimalistic yet distinctive style: weapons are black, enemies are red, environment is white and any objects you can interact with are striped blue. This is not because the game is made using Unity or the lack of talent from artists. It's clearly a deliberate decision which makes the game more pure and, from a practical aspect, easier to play. If there was complex geometry and lots of colours and objects, it would be difficult to analyse the environment and react accordingly.

    The game is presented as an old DOS-style terminal and includes many nice additions, including incredible ASCII art and implementations of "0-player games" such as Conway's game of life, Langdon's Ant and more. Once you're done with the game, you have plenty to keep you busy, including an endless survival mode, challenges (completing levels with certain restrictions), speedrun and even a real-time speed run mode, and even more things which I haven't unlocked yet.

    Even though there are around 34 levels in the game, it'll only take you a couple of hours to finish it. However, given the unique concept and brilliant execution, I have to credit this game and recommend it; though not at full price. I got it on sale and don't regret it. It's also a game that works surprisingly well with a gamepad. I've had no performance issues with it on my Alienware Alpha R1 on highest graphics settings at 1080p, and the game looks great despite its minimalistic design. The only criticisms I have are the lack of variety in weapons and enemies and the lack of cloud saves. The save game is located in your user profile AppDataLocalLow folder and I have lost my save before; though luckily the game is so good I ddn't mind replaying the first two hours.    … Expand

    It's the most innovate shooter I've played in years. Obey us. Join us. SUPERHOT

    But for real. Superhot is awesome, I was stressed out of my mind but felt encapsulated in total and utter danger. The beautiful design adds to this experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Brief Synopsis of Full Review]

    Whereas many strategy or puzzle games last much longer than they should or wrap up much sooner than anticipated, I think Superhot nails just about the right amount of time to place an emphasis on standard gameplay. Before things can get too overused or stale the main content is over and it's onto the seemingly neverending variations of levels available to test yourself with. To add to replay value there are also differing "modes" that prevent the use of certain items or make the main objective be that you complete the level in a specific fashion, furthering adding elements of strategy and puzzle to the gameplay. Simple in concept and only relatively more complicated in execution, Superhot is super and it is hot.

    Concept: Take the core of gameplay from any shooter and that gameplay will revolve around shooting, plain and simple. It's in the title just like it's in gaming DNA. Now add a twist where the entire thing moves in slow motion and you're prone to insta-kill enemies just as they can do so to you. Messes with your mind a little bit at first doesn't it?

    Graphics: I personally loved the art style that permeates this world. Your enemies are brightly colored but not so detailed as to be fleshed out beyond mere polygonal shapes. The same can be said for the surrounding world, which lacks color but remains sharp and clear in its definite shapes and settings.

    Sound: The sound work is nothing special or remotely spectacular but what it does is excellent pace the game along so that you never feel like you're chugging along slowly, rather playing through in a blur of speed alongside the constantly crescendoing and galloping soundtrack.

    Playability: There should be no confusion here once the controls have been established, as your one and only goal is to move forward at all costs, eliminating those who dare to stand in your way and doing your best to survive their counterattacks.

    Entertainment: For a title that revolves around slowing combat down, I never once felt bored or tired of the matters at hand and instead felt that much more tense and anxious as I made my way slowly but surely through the levels and the world.

    Replay Value: Moderately High.

    Overall Score: 8.0    … Expand

    Go Google this game and check out the completely free 3DFPS build of it. It's so neat! You get to manipulate time in order to beat what would be a completely unwinnable FPS on its own, and the minimal black-white-red art style makes everything very clear. Also, compared to most time-manipulation games out there, this game is TOUGH.

    The gameplay is really original and interesting, and succesful runs will make you feel like a total badass. It's really amazing how intricate the gameplay can be while consisting of a very, very limited pool of actions (Maybe too limited, in fact - At times I was really annoyed Superhot doesn't allow you to crouch). Great level design (both gameplay and narration-wise) elevates the game's quality, as it keeps on throwing you into interesting set-pieces that menage to feel fresh all the way through. However, the trial and error nature of the game can become slightly irritating. Sometimes playing it felt more like solving a half-random puzzle rather than making quick decisions in a reactive environment. Fortunetly, Superhot perfectly understands its own gimmicky nature and never outstays its welcome.

    While a lot of people critized the brief story mode, I enjoyed it for what it was and found the shorter, but more intense experience to be a better option than a slower paced one - Simply because the game would become tiresome and boring before the story, no matter how good it was, would reach any sort of conclusion.

    The storyline, in fact, is one of the most interesting things about the game - It is surprisingly good... Or, err, decent, because of how obnoxiously it treats itself. As far as (micro spoiler!) transhuman-themed games go, Superhot reminded me of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 a lot. However, if BO3 was the shy kid who was afraid to admit how witty he can really be (therefore facading a surprisingly deep storyline as a generic sci-fi tale to the point in which most players didn't even realise what was really going on), then Superhot is the annoying little brat who keeps on jumping around and screaming "LOOK AT ME I AM CLEVER I AM META!!!" and you want to just smack the little sh*t. However, you can't really do that, because the story really *is* quite clever. I loved how simple it starts and how big it ends, plus the DOS menu stuff is top-notch. Still, the way the game treats itself is literaly worse than Bioshock. Jeez.

    A lot of praise needs to be given to the audiovisual layer - While minimalistic, the graphics are surprisingly moody and detailed, with a lot of the narrative told through visual storytelling. They are also beautifuly functional. The soundtrack is very atmospheric and fits the game perfectly.

    In total, despite some issues, Superhot is a must-play. While not everything works as it should have, and the gameplay is nothing more than a one-off gimmick, it's damn good to see that you can make an FPS that's totaly different to what has come before.    … Expand

    SUPERHOT has a new and innovative concept that I find really cool. This review would be 10/10 if not for the price. $23 is a bit too much for a game that does not have a lot of gameplay. $10-$15 would be a great spot for the price of the game. Overall, SUPERHOT is an amazing game that looks nice and is very different from other games with little flaws for its experimental feeling.

    When I initially booted up SUPERHOT I was not at all certain what to expect. Minus a few screenshots I went into the game blind. I did not really know exactly what sort of game it was, but I walked away wanting much, much more.

Minus a few screenshots I went into the game blind. I did not really know exactly what sort of game it was, but I walked away wanting much, much more.

    The unique MS-DOS menu system sets the tone for the game, and how the story begins via a cryptic chat message from another coworker in the network that you, the player, must check out this new program. It “downloads” into your machine and you play your first round of SUPERHOT.

    Everything but the gun, which is black, and the enemies, which are red is white. White cars, white corridors, white walls, white stairs...yet the game isn’t boring or bland. There is beauty in the simplicity. Whenever you shoot or smash one of your enemies they fall apart into thousands of polygon and disappear to the ground. The simple art style doesn’t get boring, because without the simple color contrasts you would get lost and never be able to complete the game’s unique take on missions.

    Here’s the situation… whenever you move an enemy moves or raises their gun or shoots at you. If you stand still, they’re frozen in time. Every move has to be calculated exactly which makes the firefights more intense than anything a Call of Duty or Battlefield could offer. While not fast-faced, the strategic element of each move you make is critical to your success in wiping out enemies.

    It isn’t just strategic ducking and shooting either, as you continue through each level a new layer of difficulty or advantage to you the player gets added being learning how to jump, or punch guns out of the hands of the fierce, red enemies. Either way they build and build on the fun and leave you wanting more.
    The replayability of this game is high, especially if you want to go for the fastest time and truly master the best way (and there are many) to complete the puzzle. At many points throughout my experience I found myself completely abandoning my gun and just slowly dodging bullets and punching guys.

    This game is proof that some of the most creative experiences are coming from the indie scene and I cannot recommend it enough.

    1 – GENERAL

    The game has a story mode, which is bad, but... who cares? It's just there to try to connect the dots. It took me 3 hours to finish and after that we unlock different challenges and the endless mode.

    2 – GAMEPLAY

    I love the gameplay of the game, the way we have to carefully plan our moves when standing still considering that the enemies can, and will, move also when we start moving again.

    So, when I finish any level I was always impressed with my skills and smartness. I have to admit that sometimes I even imagine myself in the Matrix.

    The graphics are minimalist, but they do the job so well that you end up thinking that they are one of the world's wonders. It's not normal for this to happen.

    3 – CONCLUSION

    This game is a proof that there's always room to make innovative games. There's a huge downside with it, a true elephant in the room... it's price. 23€ is too much. I cannot recommend it for that price, not even for half of it. Buy it in one of many sales under 10€ and, for that price, you will likely have your money's worth.    … Expand

    Voilà donc un nouveau concept à la fois brillamment développé et réalisé, et pour une fois, on ne peut qu'applaudir les 256 couleurs (et encore) qui respectent la charte des jeux indés très frais développés dans un garage et/ou à la cave par deux pelés et un tondu. De même pour le nombre de polygones que l'on peut compter sur les "personnages" bien qu'ici, ce détail serve également la jouabilité contre toute attente... avec les morceaux au ralenti !

    L'avantage évident de cette simplicité graphique est que Supertruc tourne à fond les balais même sur une poubelle, ce qui s'avère très appréciable. La version PC gère les manettes Microsoft, ce dont on se réjouit, car de ce fait la précision et la maniabilité nécessaires ne prêtent aucunement le flanc à la critique.

    Loin d'un FPS "normal", la prise de décision et la tactique dans ce temps matrixien presque totalement arrêté induisent une façon de jouer très différente, faite d'anticipation... et de sang-froid. La moindre erreur vous envoit ad patres et après quelques essais, on se dit que certains niveaux sont "impossibles" ; or il n'en est rien, car dans Matrixhot l'impossible le devient : le lancer des armes ou des objets, le choix de ramasser un katana au lieu d'un fusil de chasse, la gestion du temps elle-même, le "temps" d'attendre le déclic qui indique que l'arme peut tirer encore une fois, j'en passe et des meilleures...

    C'est là que les graphismes simplifiés à l'extrême s'imposent d'eux-mêmes et permettent une lisibilité exceptionnelle de l'action. Le traitement sonore est d'ailleurs en accord et entièrement raccord avec ce monde constamment au ralenti que l'on fait avancer par de gentilles pichenettes... pour pas se faire étendre.

    Les menus à la MS DOS font bien rigoler (que de souvenirs), beaucoup moins l'espèce de scénario bancal (encore plus bête que... Matrix) avec ses clins d'oeil récurrents vers le joueur et le déballage d'auto-satisfaction du développeur (t'as vu, on est trop fiers, il est trop bien notre jeu, on est des dieux et blablabla). Un peu d'humilité, bande de cons, ça ne vous ferait pas de mal non plus !

    Le jeu est court (entre 2 et 4h) mais s'avère en fait bien dosé, car chaque niveau est d'une densité grisante, fascinante. Une jouabilité réglée au poil de cul, non décidément ça ne se refuse pas, ça doit donc être ça le "game design" !    … Expand

The Second is that the game is too short, and it gets slowed to a crawl by pseudo cutscenes that bog down the game’s pacing for the sake of sort of story. I really think this game could have been better as a non-stop action thriller instead of a Matrix-themed mess of a story. Every other aspect is great, the controls are tight and responsive, and the game doesn’t back down from putting you in some crazy, albeit fun situations. I haven’t been a fan of PC shooter having grown up on console games like Timesplitters, Halo, and Old School Call of Duty. Everything is so fluid that it feels great to think through your route and attempting to play it out is a fun and exciting experience. It’s a great game, I just wish it was longer.

    It is both tactical and intuitive. I've rarely seen a game where repetitiveness was a good thing, because in 'Superhot' it is: you might want to try the levels over and over again, just to explore all the possibilities of creating the most badass killcam in the end. No spoil but the ending is truly worth the wait and efforts. It seems to be a simple die and retry type of game at first glance but soon you'll realize that there is a sense of progression throughout.

    This game is a work of art, definitely worth buying at a bargain price when its on sale, although it is short at just 3 hours to complete, this game is extremely difficult at the end, the story is ok, and the gameplay is superb, definitely worth trying.

    SUPERHOT to kolejny dowód że Polska umie robić świetne gry. Tym razem mamy dość prosty i ciekawy pomysł wrogowie poruszają się kiedy poruszasz się ty. Mimo że czas płynie wolniej nie robi to z SUPERHOT gry łatwiejszej ponieważ jest to gra momentami naprawdę wymagająca. SUPERHOT nie jest szczególnie długą grą bo można ją ukończyć w kilka godzin.

    Muito divertido graças as jogabilidade e o tema abordado sobre o tempo, é um jogo Indie fiquei um pouco impressionado na época por ter sido feita por uma equipe minúscula mas hoje em dia não é tão raro sair um jogo incrível.

    Pontos negativos:
    História fraca(mas não é o foco) e muito curto

    Short and simple, time moves when you move. The game may not be worth full price but on sale, it is a steal.

    It is really interesting concept. I had fun shooting these crystal guys. Throwing random stuff to enemy and hitting them, taking the dropped weapon and blasting their face with a shotgun is so satisfying.

    It's an innovative mix of a shooter and a puzzle which thinks a lot of itself. Unfortunately pretty soon the game becomes a boring trial-and-error grind of maneuvering around flying bullets and running enemies.

Unfortunately pretty soon the game becomes a boring trial-and-error grind of maneuvering around flying bullets and running enemies.

    The good:
    - time moves only when you move (but bullets still fly, although slowly, even when time is stopped), an innovative idea!
    - an interesting system of menus, resembling that of Norton Commander and DOS. It was fun to just explore every "file" there and see the game of life simulation and other useless stuff

    The so-so:
    - laconic, minimalistic graphical design. I didn't like it much but didn't hate it either
    - actions like punching an enemy, taking a gun, firing a gun all take some real time which isn't obvious at first and caused me some frustration in the early levels.

    The bad:
    - the levels are just scripted sequences. You mostly stay at the same place, and enemies run from all directions, from behind doors and start shooting at you. This means that you will restart and restart the same level until you know where everyone will appear until you can beat it. Or you can rotate the camera after every step so as to see if anyone new has appeared behind you. Not a very pleasant experience.

    Ultimately, this game is very shallow. As soon as the novelty wears off and you "get it", there isn't much left. But it's still worth a look.    … Expand

    Fresh and fun mechanics that revolve around managing time as it relates to your movements in space. The game is structured in a sequence of action set pieces that are in their essence, dynamic puzzles that can be solved in a variety of ways. Chaining gun and combat actions with fluidity is entertaining and very satisfying. Can be beaten in about two hours, recommended at a bargain price.

    The concept itself is very unique, I've never played a game quite like this. However, there isn't much else going on here. The presentation is very minimalistic and the story tries too hard to be clever. You really need to love the core gameplay or you'll get bored within ten minutes.

    Superhot ha dejado una sensación de incertidumbre en su salida. No se ha hablado mucho de él, mas allá de que está "chulo". Cuando el verdadero sentimiento que le queda a todo el que haya jugado, es el de no haber jugado a nada parecido. El juego, ha cogido unas mecánicas tan estancadas como son las de los FPS y ha creado algo más que destacable.

    The game is split up into small level and takes around 2 hours to complete though there are stipulation challenges and an endless mode where you start in a random are and try to rack up as many kills as possible, unlocked once you beat the story…
    you can pick up items in the environment to throw at enemies to knock weapons out of their hands, grab their weapons, shoot and dodge bullets like the matrix master that you are…
    towards the end of the game youre even able to switch bodies…
    this seemingly over powered ability is balanced by the fact that it forces your targets weapon to break
    and once you’ve killed every enemies in a level the game shows a rundown of everything you just did with no pauses showing you just how cool what you just pulled off really was..
    The game sounds pretty easy but its not..
    Theres a great challenge in targeting the right enemies at the right time making sure youre not going to get shot from behind…
    and once you feel like you’ve got it all figured out the game switched it up on you adding harder weapons varieties to deal with
    And youre going to die a lot trying to figure out the puzzle that is superhot…
    Im not the biggest fan of this level feeling though..
    the world doesn’t feel connected and I feel the experience would’ve been way cooler if this were one continuous world with checkpoints instead…
    but that’s really my only issue with this game..
    the delivery of this game makes it feel pretty cheap and throwaway, when there some addictive frustrating and satisfying moments to be had here

    Very good and innovative gameplay, but it is not only SUPERHOT, but also SUPERSHORT. You can beat this game in 1.5-2.0 hours, although it is a new and very nice experience. It still feels not like the actual game, but a very good tech demo, because of lack of content.

    The core game mechanic is amazing, but it ships with a pretentious unskippable story that's barely related to the core gameplay. And it's super short. Such a shame, should've been a GOTY contender.

    The game is fun, fast-paced and with an interesting dark narative. The main point of the game with time moving only when you do (although it does move slowly even if you stand still) makes it a refreshing fps. The minimalistic graphics too give it a unique feel.

    Its a beautiful game with a good gameplay. It have a good look and is some think new in the FPS-Scene, but there is a big but, why we need to pay 22€ for it! 10€ were ok but 22, sry but thats hard to believe. 2nd Point why i think its too expensive that it got only 90 minutes of gameplay.

    Fresh, innovative, to the point, it might be short, but it's very replayble and the gameplay is gorgeous and it has nice mechanics.

    Superhot makes everything you do look unbelievably stylish, but offers so little content that three hours with the game was enough for me. It needs more varied enemies, a broader arsenal, larger stages. I believe Superhot’s innovative mechanics can be squeezed for more and I’m looking forward to a sequel. [04/2016, p.54]

    Luckily, the core concept coupled with that gorgeous and impactful art style is enough to warrant our recommendation. Your time with Superhot may be fleeting, but you’ll find every second exhilarating.
