Play Overview
Superhot (2016) is a shooting game with a twist. Time only moves forward (bullets, enemies, damage) when you move your character. This is still a violent game, in fact, in slow motion, it feels more violent.
But while the game remains a challenge to shoot enemies in the heat, the time element subverts this by introducing more ways to win and control the field of play. Playing Superhot raises all sorts of questions and interactions that other more frantic games rush past. Not only, whether seeing this violence in slow motion makes you want to put the gun/bat/fists down, but also how to prioritise tasks as you are increasingly overwhelmed.
Players need to assess their situation while time is slowed and move carefully so as to use time to their advantage. Towards the end of the game, you gain the (limited) ability to jump into enemies' bodies, further extending the mind-stretching possibilities.
Along with this main game is an Endless mode, where you try and survive as long as you can with wave after wave of enemies. There's also a Challenge mode where you replay the campaign under certain constraints, such as limited time or weapons.
Our examiner, Goran Wallgren, first checked Superhot 4 years ago. It was re-examined by Ollie Robertson and updated 8 weeks ago.
