It is a blend of mechanics that has you constantly begging for one more go, while its almost hypnotic style keeps you transfixed.
Reloads feel like they take forever while you try to outmaneuver the streaking red bullets that fill the air of SUPERHOT's sterile white world. The tension is heart pounding - even in slow-motion. You have to manage a balance of strategy, precision, position, and action: decide who to take out, know when to toss your weapon and grab a new one, and be aware of all the dangers around you. Once you exhaust your weapon's limited magazine, you can throw it at an enemy to cause them to catapult their gun into the air - allowing you to grab it and keep firing.īut, for all of its tense gunplay, each level of SUPERHOT is really just one big puzzle that you must find the solution to. This last maneuver is particularly entertaining. While this starts with you just running and shooting, pretty soon you find yourself punching foes, dodging bullets, jumping cars, and hurling your gun at enemies.
This means you can look around, aim, and plan your moves before executing them.Īnd execute is the word, because SUPERHOT has you shattering every red enemy like glass to progress. You control the action like a first-person shooter but the world pauses – or at least slows to a complete crawl – whenever you are stationary. They send you the file and, after loading its EXE, you are playing SUPERHOT. All they can talk about is an amazing game that has been discovered on a company’s internal servers and cracked for a community of hackers to enjoy. In an understated opening, you begin by messaging a friend in a chatroom. With a blend of retro-styled DOS command menus, and a VR style that looks to have been inspired by a fusion of The Lawnmower Man's lowpoly count and Mirror’s Edge's red and and white color palate - SUPERHOT oozes style from the start.
