    Superhot VR was a proof of concept that won the hearts and minds of any non-gamer we handed it to. But for serious gamers, this is an offering lazier than the bullets depicted. [October 2017, p77]

    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]

    Superhot VR is a unique experience in virtual reality. Very few games give you the heart-pumping thrill that Superhot does and the issues that come with the tracking capabilities of the Move Controllers and PlayStation Camera do not stop it from being a game that every PlayStation VR owner should pick up.

    Superhot VR should be the ultimate power fantasy. Being able to juggle four pistols, firing each one off while dodging a hail of bullets is just one of the many stunning set pieces I’ve relished in. However, when one cog in the machine gets caught, that absolute immersion slips away. If optimised better and with slightly reworked levels, this would be a PlayStation VR essential. As it stands, Superhot VR is still good though too inconsistent.

    I love Superhot VR on PC. But without proper room scaling and with evident technical problems this is nothing but a shell of one of the best VR games around. You can still sense the greatness of its brethren, but the execution feels too rushed and not catered to PSVR.

    Not the PlayStation VR killer app you might have hoped for, but still a clever and imaginative mix of shooter and puzzle game.

It exceeded my expectations and is the ultimate VR experience. It is just as challenging as the original, and the movements make you feel like such a badass when you take out 5 guys at once. There is some wonky tracking issues sometimes, but that is an issue with the headset's tech rather than the game. Ultimately this goes down as the killer app of the PSVR, and even gives you a nice workout after a good session.… Full Review »

Keep that inAfter launching, SUPERHOT VR received a huge amount of free DLC. Extra game modes, new maps, achievements, and secrets to find. Keep that in mind when you read old reviews for the game, such as those written before it was released on PSVR. Most of those old reviews took points off for a lack of content, which has since been added for free.

    Pros:

    Gameplay that is both exhilarating and cerebral.
    Stylized graphics look beautiful in VR.
    Long, challenging campaign with a series of alternate modes for those wanting to mix things up, speedrun, or put themselves through hell.
    Horde/survival mode, which pushes your skills to the limit.
    Absolutely no motion sickness.
    Not a bland port of the base game. The concept is the same, but the execution is different.
    Not $60.
    Available on Vive, PSVR, and Oculus.

    Cons:

    Not a port of the base game. If you wanted an exact copy of PC SUPERHOT in VR, right down to story being the same, this game will disappoint you.
    If you dislike new game+ modes, speedrunning, achievement-hunting, and horde modes, you'll only enjoy playing the campaign. Which is extremely fun, but around medium length.    … Full Review »
