The action, even at such a slow pace, is consistently exhilarating.Įarly on in the game, one level made me feel like I was a character straight out of a John Wick movie. It even lets you slice bullets in half as you duck away, or block them with the barrel of a shotgun. ![]() The enemies will fire back, though, so you have to physically duck out of the way of incoming bullets, or intentionally slow down time by limiting your movements to grab a gun out of a bad guy’s hands. ![]() When you’re face to face with the enemies, you can punch them, throw objects at them, or shoot them if you’re given a gun. However, thanks to the quick respawning and speed of the levels, repeating the levels to work out the solution is a huge part of the fun and adds to the thrill of the game.īut it’s the VR specific gameplay and how you play with the movements of your body that make Superhot VR so thrilling. That does lead to a fair amount of trial and error and repeating of levels to work out the best course of action. In one level there is a swinging metal beam coming towards you that you need to duck beneath as you keep an eye on the three incoming bad guys, while in others there are vehicles, stationary and mobile, that shield the enemies from your sight.Īlso, since it is impossible to stop moving your own body entirely when in VR, with every twitch being picked up, the enemies will continue to move at all times, albeit slowly, so you have to keep aware in each moment. All of these elements play into the puzzle aspect of Superhot. You need to assess your own options, analyze your surroundings, and look out for how heavily armed the enemies are, all while trying to progress to the next stage. There are also environmental hazards to plan your actions around. Each level takes place during a matter of seconds, yet the game’s core mechanic of time slowing when you stop moving makes the brief exchange far more manageable. As an un-named character, you stand in place and have to use whatever is at your disposal to take out the red, mannequin-style enemies that surround you. Superhot is essentially a puzzle game disguised as a first-person shooter. However, players soon began to realize that it was much more than that, and with the added dimension of virtual reality that came to Oculus Rift in late 2016, and recently to PlayStation 4, it became an entirely unique experience. Originally released for PC in early 2016 as a non-VR game, Superhot is a game that looks like a standard first-person shooter at first glance, just with an interesting color palette. ![]()
