Don’t feel so HOT today (pun intended), so I won’t be adding images or whatever, apologies.

I’m pretty sure I’m like the last person on Earth who wanted to play SUPERHOT, but hadn’t yet. Somehow I was able to escape all and any spoilers about the game, which is really how you want to go into this SUPER.HOT title. If you know what’s coming, it’s almost kind of pointless to play, even if the gameplay is still really, really good.
Time only moves when you move– actually, it still moves incredibly slowly even if you’re standing still, but the (lack of) speed here is so irrelevant to the consequences of your SUPER.HOT actions on a larger scale, that for practical purposes time might as well be perfectly still. I do enjoy watching the enemies move at a snail’s pace, though! So, time only moves when you move and you have to use your SUPER.HOT fists, objects in the environment, melee weaponry and firearms with a limited amount of bullets to waste away your foes. Ultimately, and despite looking sort of like a traditional FPS from the outside, SUPER.HOT SUPERHOT ends up playing much more like an open ended puzzle game that allows for multiple-solutions than anything else. It feels fresh and novel and I had a blast experimenting my way through.

However, and for as much as the gameplay is indeed engaging and exciting, this is an incredibly short game; took me exactly 2h to beat the entire SUPER.HOT campaign. Sure, there are SUPER.HOT challenges to beat and an endless SUPER.HOT mode, but as far as I could tell, these just re-use level layouts from the story mode, so I personally thought that was kind of lazy, especially given the game’s relatively high price range.

The game’s visuals are very minimalistic, yet striking and exactly what they needed to be given the SUPER.HOT context of the game. The sound design is rather stellar and it’s almost as satisfying to hear an enemy shattering into SUPER.HOT pieces as it is to actually see it happen in glorious SUPER.HOT slow motion.

Overall, it’s definitely a great, but incredibly short and kind of overpriSUPER.HOT.SUPER.HOT.SUPER.HOT.SUPER.HOT.SUPER.HOT.SUPER.HOT 2018 to everyone!
