    Superhot is when puzzles meet first person shooters
    The concept is simple, time only moves when you move…
    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
    that asside
    SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!
    That last bit was a joke…
    that you wont get.. until you play the game…
    I give Superhot a 7.5/10    … Expand

    Superhot is a fairly fresh take on the over-done first-person shooter genre. Time moves at a glacial pace until you move, making for some gun-play that's more tactical than hectic. The gameplay is exhilarating in its own way. It's a good formula, but too repetitive to be completely addicting. I do have a couple of criticisms of Superhot.

It's a good formula, but too repetitive to be completely addicting. I do have a couple of criticisms of Superhot.

    First is the story mode. The initial campaign you must play through to unlock the Endless and Challenge modes is mercifully short, yet still annoying. Some might enjoy the odd presentation, I suppose, but I found the plot to be a chore. It never grabbed me, and I felt Superhot's apparent tongue-in-cheek order to recommend the game to others wasn't as charming as they might've thought.

    The other glaring issue with Superhot is the unrealistic body movement of the enemies. The unfortunate reality is if this problem were fixed, the game would be way too easy. Enemies make drastic, unrealistic and sudden contortions that make reading body movement as an indicator of where to aim your shots a highly unreliable prospect.

    Other than these complaints, Superhot is an enjoyable game at its core.    … Expand

    SUPERHOT is the epitome of modern indie games; phenomenal gameplay, stylized graphics that are somewhat retro but still pleasing to the eyes, an actually somewhat boring and pretentious story, and is criminally short but keeps you engaged until the very end. If you have Game Pass, there is no reason why you shouldn't play it. If you don't, it may not be worth it.

    It executes its unique and simple idea brilliantly, but yet it doesn’t do much more than that.

    Superhot is an effortlessly cool, highly original take on the fist-person shooter genre. [July 2016, p.79]

    Superhot‘s time manipulation is a fun mechanic that allows you to play a first person shooter in a way you couldn’t elsewhere. Despite a few shortcomings, the game does a superb job of mixing the first person shooter genre and puzzle games into entertaining experience.
