SuperHot

Superhot's clever time-manipulation idea delivers consistently fulfilling challenges by turning blink-of-an-eye action into carefully considered and cautious tactical decisions. It avoids potential one-hit death frustration with quick respawns and deaths that always feel earned and avoidable in hindsight. Its unique brand of puzzles are complemented by simplistic but helpfully high-contrast art and sound design, yet undermined by a tedious, intrusive story and a reluctance to put new game-changing spins on its ideas to extend their lives.

Superhot is a clever blend of shooter and puzzle elements that's driven by a devious, dark narrative.

Digital violence has never been so intoxicating - but there's more here than mere slaughter.

Effortlessly stylish, perhaps to the detriment of substance. But Superhot isn't one to miss.

Superhot never lets its good looks or cleverness overtake its smart core design

A puzzle game dressed like a twisted, Cronenberg-inspired shooter, Superhot's methodical, slow-motion approach to the genre is as cerebral and deliberate as it is unhinged.

Each level is a tight-knit firefight that unfolds like a classic gun-fu action film

If you're looking for a soulful, artistic shooter "Superhot" is it.

SUPERHOT is a game in which time is often frozen but it's a game that allows you to cherish every moment. Time stands still but it's never wasted.

The slow-motion combat might not be for everyone, but I found it to be just as exciting as any twitch-based shooter. Being in control of the situation at all times is exhilarating, especially when one wrong step could mean certain death. But don't worry, there's plenty of time to choose each step wisely.
