    Super Hot es un juego casual, de esos que te descargas cuando no quieres pensar y solo quieres pasarla bien,

    las mecanicas son bastante buenas y en un principio te puedes tardar un poco acostumbrandote a ellas.

    la historia... practicamente no importa.

    lo unico malo es la duracion, que es muy poca.

    7.3/10

    SUPER... HOT

    Jogabilidade divertida e inovadora, com varios niveis criativos e referencias a outras obras. Poreeem, um pouco enjoativo.

    De qualquer forma, vale a pena baixar!

    The gameplay of this game is pretty amazing and unlike most, I don't really care about how short it is because its fun concept gives it replayability. However, I despise the ""story"" they try to jam down your throat as you play this game. It's not immersive even one tiny bit, it just pulls you out of the gameplay for chunks at a time while you try to find ways to skip as fast as possibleThe gameplay of this game is pretty amazing and unlike most, I don't really care about how short it is because its fun concept gives it replayability. However, I despise the ""story"" they try to jam down your throat as you play this game. It's not immersive even one tiny bit, it just pulls you out of the gameplay for chunks at a time while you try to find ways to skip as fast as possible until the next proper level. There's no other way to say this: the story is terrible and greatly reduces the quality of the experience. I say that as a video game story buff - I'm not just a gameplay only kind of guy.

    The story is just obnoxious and thinks it's clever and funny when it is not close to either. The funny part is it would have been a great game if it had no story and just "shoot red guys" but the game literally mocks you for thinking that. Like a college hipster who is too cool for classes, it shoots condescending downward glances at the concept of "just shooting red guys." It shames you for only wanting to do that as if that wasn't the only reason anyone would want to play this game, ever. Newsflash devs: not one soul on Earth is ever gonna go "ooh let's play SUPERHOT I heard it's got a wacky story."

    Also this sounds trivial but it's really not, the constant SUPERHOT chanting and the SUPERHOT words completely covering the level review at the end is so extremely annoying, it greatly affected the amount of time I chose to play this game. One of the coolest parts of this game should be finishing the level and then watching the replay at the end in real-time without any slowmo, and they manage to utterly destroy this experience by making the replay a background behind huge, useless words and drowning the audio in obnoxious, loud, irritating chants that make you just wanna skip the replay and move on to the next level, even though if the chanting wasn't there, the replay would easily have been the coolest part.

    This game is still fun but it's just frustrating because it would have been so easy to just omit the parts that bring it down. Why were the devs scared of just giving us a pure gameplay-oriented game? They should have learned from Portal 2 about how to integrate story, good writing and witty comedy seamlessly with gameplay for a well-rounded experience.    … Expand

    This game makes you feel like John Wick. Its too bad there is so little content, once you get through the first story line and credits roll you want more levels and new ideas, but what you get is recycle in challanges and endless arena mode. Overall good basic idea that can be build on.

It's an FPS game, but it's somehow a strategy game as well. I get easily stressed and that's why I'm not great at first person shooters, but in SUPERHOT, I'm able to take my time and actually THINK about the moves I'm doing, instead of running around wildly with a gun. Overall, the gameplay is great, and the story is very unique and unsettling, but, as you've probably heard before, the game is really short. No, I mean like, REALLY SHORT. I finished it in 2.5 hours, which is the first time I've ever finished a PC game in one day. Now, that's not really that bad. Games can be short as long as they're cheap enough to be worth it right? You'd think so but SUPERHOT is at least twice as expensive as it should have been. I got this game as a gift, so it wasn't a big deal for me. But to anyone getting the game: WAIT TILL IT'S ON SALE. It's worth $10 not 25.… Expand

    Superhot feels like a breath of freash air. Despite short gameplay , I found it quite fun mostly due to concept and story that reminded me of The Matrix trilogy.

    I think Hotline Miami did this better, much due to it's visuals, audio, and enemy/weapon variety. SUPERHOT doesn't really use its gimmick to propel itself very far and there are not all that many weapons to use or different enemies to fight. It feels lesser, and it's arguable if the price justifies the content amount.

    However, what's there is decently fun just out of the fact that slow motion is satisfying and the Hotline Miami formula is a good one. Would pick up on a sale.    … Expand

    Neat little gameplay gimmick, but just didn't really hold my interest even over the short playtime. Plot is basically a shoddy ripoff of Pony Island that doesn't fit the game.

At one point early on the player character in the game is told over text by a spooky mysterious entity to close the game and never play it again. This is where you're supposed to launch the game again in defiance so you can play more, but I just kept my promise and closed the game, never reopened to this day. The mysterious text box made me type out my promise to never play again, and I'm a man of my word.… Expand

    The concept is new and congratulations for comping up with it. However, the execution is kind of meh as the stages are short and too much time is dedicate to "chat" and "story". It will be fun once it gets implemented properly.

I love how there are a lot of extras and easter eggs. I wanted to love this game, but unfortunately, once you go past the initial presentation, the rest of the package is lacking. There is just one simple game mechanic that you will master in a few minutes, you'll finish the single player campaign in an hour or two, and the narrative doesn't add much to it other than interrupt the gameplay here and there with the usual postmodernist drivel you've come to expect from pretentious indie game designers. I hope at some point indies start caring about gameplay mechanics and content, and stop giving me unskippable high-school level dissertations about the meaning of life, complete with spelling and gramatical mistakes. But I digress.

    All there is here is a dozen or two of very small maps (often just a single room) where enemies respawn, often just in your face. Since both you and them die in a single hit, there is nothing else to the game. There are a set of challenges after the single player narrative where you revisit the same levels with some additional limitations that don't really change the experience by much.

    Although the mechanic itself is 'innovative', at the end it is just an extremely small bite-sized snack that doesn't last for more than two hours, yet it manages to be repetitive even in that little time. Given what little there is here, I find the price of admission way out of touch. This is really a $5 game at most, not much longer than a tech demo or a vertical slide.

    In addition, the Mac port is terrible: poor performance, a broken v-sync implementation, and not even an option to play fullscreen (Command+F works, but that is just a hidden shortcut and is not present in the game menus).    … Expand

В итоге игра кажется не каким-то полноценным революционным продуктом, а скорее небольшим любопытным экспериментом, который может затянуть максимум на 3-4 часа.    … Expand

    (after 10 hours of playing & completing the game)

    Short and not too complicated.

    Pretty cool, but I was hoping for something more extensive, both in gameplay and story. The game is definitely too short.

    Nice atmosphere. It reminded me a bit of the Matrix. I like the sterile visuals of the surroundings, but the opponents look so-so

    Superhot is a a somewhat innovative game that has a very interesting gimick - time progresses only when you move. Each level is tons of fun and is challenging enough to be interesting. The game is only about 2 hours long, though, so I can't recommend that at its current price of $25. If this were the VR version, the price wouldn't be so bad, but as this isn't that, I can't recommend this game.

    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]
