One neat feature t added, was the ability to upload your favorite kills.

There isn’t much more to the gameplay, yet each level feels fresh and my interest lasts through each session. It can be frustrating, but for once, that’s part of the fun and you will feel a sense of accomplishment when completing a level. This means if someone shoots a bullet at you and you stop moving, everything else will and you can assess the situation to avoid the bullet and defend yourself.īelieve me it’s easier than it sounds. When you begin, you learn the basics like controls and how everything in the game moves only when you do. People are trying to kill you because a friend of yours gave you hacked privileges to play this game via a remote server.

Items from guns and swords, to pool balls and tiny statues, the creative ways to use them give them more detail than the design needs. The most detailed portion of the game is the weapons or objects you could use as a weapon. The character models are basic red pixel models with minimal detail, most of the level design is a bright white canvas with simple architectures that bring everything to life in its own way. What really makes this game interesting is the approach of keeping everything simple. I will try to reduce the repeated use of the games name since once you play it, you will never want to hear or read it again.

It reminded me of “Rez” visually, with “The Matrix” bullet time elements for the movement, and an upcoming movie “Hardcore Henry” for the combat components. I only first heard of Superhot from an article a couple of months ago and from the first trailer, I knew this was worth taking a look into. This is what you hear repeatedly upon completing a level in… Well, Superhot! This had to be one of the most unique and innovative surprises for me in 2016 so far.

So an expansion coming for free for previous owners is outstanding news that will offer users an opportunity to step back into the world of whatever time-dilated future Superhot represents.Superhot. When the storyline finally got interesting, it suddenly dissipated into the end credits and allowing time-challenges along with the standard litany of post-game options. Shortly after it rolls out ‘within a few days of July 16’, it will be available to purchase as a stand-alone title across the systems.Ī wise move, considering that the actual gameplay aspect of Superhot was super-short (heh), and getting to the endless waves (that had many excited) meant you had to play through the three-hour campaign of Superhot first. If it was purchased on Xbox One, you’ll receive a system voucher. Owners of the original Superhot will be upgraded for free regardless of whether it was purchased on Steam, GOG, EGS, or PlayStation 4. They further state, in a very quickly moving wall of text, that Superhot VR is considered to be a separate entry. The developers note that, while it is a standalone experience, it may benefit players to play through the entirety of the original title to understand the context. Out of nowhere, the Superhot Team has just dropped the news that a new standalone expansion for Superhot is dropping on July 16 in seven days. It has since become available on other platforms. The title received a bit of backlash when Superhot turned into an exclusive VR title for the Oculus, marking what many viewed as the beginning of the bizarre console wars on PC, where titles would apparently be exclusively based on publishers ability to net exclusivity contracts. Near-instant restarts when you catch a bullet with your face slowly turns the title into more of a puzzle, figuring out precisely where safety is and how best to dispatch enemies while glass shatters and firearms are discarded once empty. It’s difficult to describe successfully dodging a hail of gunfire coming down a hall while you strike mercilessly, dodging to and fro as various enemies are removed from existence.

Superhot is an absolute treasure that stemmed from a tech demo, where the designers asked ‘what if time moves only when we do?’ From there, it has turned into a blowout success of agility and gunfire choreography that moves forward when the player does.
