oh also have you heard of superhot? its the most innovative shooter i have seen!

One of the most innovative shooters I've played in years.

Only wish it had music, but listening to the TENET soundtrack with this slaps hard

interesting "lore", fun interactive menu with a lot of secrets and engaging gameplay

SUPERHOT it's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

The way time only moves when you do creates an incredible tactical experience, making every moment feel intense and cinematic. It’s a brilliant and satisfying mechanic that makes the game truly stand out!

Superhot is the most innovative shooter I've played in years...

Though, not that innovative in 2025 but it's still a fun game. 100%-ing it was quite a pain and it did get a bit repetitive but it's very satisfying when you get it done.

Really fun gameplay. Especially when you get into some of the harder challenge runs. I tried 100% but endless mode is a grind and really feels under developed. Would highly recommend for people that want to get into fps.

I got this game just last night, and I already love it!

There is a pretty good amount of content for a ten dollar game, if you only wanna complete the main story then it will take only about 1 and a half hours, but there are tons of challenge runs you can do as well which add at least 8 extra hours of content.

There is also an endless mode where you can try to get as many kills as possible without dying to unlock new endless maps.

Anyways the gunplay is stellar, at first it is kinda tough to shoot the enemies because the bullets move abnormally slow compared to other games, but once you get used to it it's very satisfying.

I cant really comment on the graphics because there are no textures or anything so I guess the graphics are just.. fine?

You have to check out Super Hot, it's the most innovative shooter I've played this year.

In this game, time only moves when you move, meaning you have to think on your feet and take out all the red guys. There isn't many weapons and they aren't that unique but that doesn't matter as that isn't the main focus. The game is simple mechanically but complex everywhere else. The story is very unique and interesting and as much as it wasn't the longest, it was pretty good. There's plenty of side content outside of the main campaign to keep you invested.

For example there is endless mode where well it's in the name and you can slowly unlock new maps and challenges within endless. There's also plenty of individual levels you can play and even replay the story missions and master them.

The game is tons of fun and I highly recommend this game. It's not just a typical fps.

Cool concept but way too short of a game for what it is asking. The main mode can be beaten in an hour or so. Once you get beyond the time slowing down mechanic it's just a simple shooter with a few melee weapons.

Like how I can play a simple action game without excessive gore or any real violence.

One of the most "meta" games I have ever played. Truly mind blowing.

Excluding the extra content required to 100% the game, the main game itself is quite short but it manages to tell a pretty good story in that short time. Plus with all the extra content you will not feel that you paid too much for such a little amount of play time.

Do yourself a favour and get this game!

It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years!
Jokes aside, I really love the lore and storyline behind this game!

Good game; a lot shorter than I was expecting, but solid and a mandatory playthrough for any game designer. Pinnacle of 'game jam game to commercial success' stories and you can see all that DNA.

Seriously enjoyable FPS with a unique and engaging concept.

The levels are so tightly designed that a lot of people consider this game a good puzzle, but as someone who likes the moment-to-moment gameplay itself, I'm impressed they managed to give me 20 hours of content from only 30 levels.

That's thanks to the challenge mode, which tasks you to replay the game multiple times with a certain gamerule. It can be that your guns have one bullet, your throwables kill on impact, or you can only use your katana, which "remixes" the experience in an interesting way.
Some of the challenges are really hard, like bare hands, which strips you of the ability to pick up items and forces you to get up close to the enemies, which was so hard, in fact, that it changed my view of the levels entirely and tricked me into mastering the game.

Very cool unique gameplay. I love the aesthetics. Very fun to play

It just goes to show that amazing graphics do not make amazing games. This is simply a masterclass at immersion with the simplest mechanics and story. It's such a wonderfully immense experience.

Great game with an innovative mechanic that holds up on many, many playthroughs. Achievements are engaging, the extra content challenging, and the lore captivating.

As much as I'd like to lean into the "The most innovative shooter I've played in years."
I think I owe it the game to pull back the curtain a tiny bit.
This game will stick in your mind for its story, not its sick combat.
Telling you any more would ruin the experience, and you owe yourself to experience it yourself. I've thought about this game for several times longer than I've actually spent playing it, a particular feat only very few games accomplished in my decade of playing lots and lots of them, at point of writing only Oneshot, the norse God of war series and Nier automata come to mind.

It's a great concept, and I think it's very well executed. I remember playing the demo online years ago, and the words SUPER HOT were etched deep into my mind and came back to the surface when I played the full game. It was a bit short, I finished it in right under 3 hours but there seem to be quite a lot more additional content to enjoy. I like the fact that it's not too easy, I got stuck on a few levels, dying again and again, trying out different paths to finally complete the level in a way that is super satisfying. The graphics are super simple and easily readable, there are the black weapons, red enemies and the rest is mostly white. I also loved trying out different weapons, that have different strategies to them.

Definite recommend.

I love spending 10 mins to slowly clear out enemies just for the game to bullshit me and send me back to the beginning

Superhot é um jogo de tiro único, onde o tempo só se move quando você se move. Com uma mecânica inovadora e desafiadora, você planeja seus movimentos cuidadosamente para derrotar inimigos em cenários minimalistas. A sensação de controle absoluto e o ritmo tenso tornam cada nível empolgante.

Still an incredibly fun game after almost ten years. The replays after a particularly successful run of a level do a good job of helping you feel almost unstoppable, and there's a good chance you're going to get "SUPER. HOT." permanently stuck somewhere in your brain by the end, even long after you've stopped playing.

This game has an amazing story to it, never felt more alive playing this. This is a very well made game, and that is so interactive, somethings they did make you feel unsure, but thats the best part of it. 9.3/10

It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years! There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

my first time playing super hot was through the playstation VR however, finally playing the first game on PC is amazing. This game's mechanics and idea is something never thought of before and totally made a new look on future games. The game is slow, yet your mind is racing, barely knowing what to do next to keep yourself alive. It truly is such a masterpiece of a game along the rest of the series being fantastic.

Would You Wanna Leave The Simulation?

SUPERHOT is the smash-hit FPS where time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It's you, alone, outnumbered and outgunned. Snatch weapons from fallen enemies to shoot, slice and dodge through a truly cinematic hurricane of slow-motion bullets.

[td]💾Graphics[/td]
[td]Graphics are extremely simple. Mostly filled with a white color with some red’s (Mainly the bullets and enemies are red), but that’s about it. In my opinion, it’s a unique artstyle choice that represents what this game is trying to achieve, and that’s a simulation. Now the environments are pretty detailed, in terms of layout and design. Not much to say here. It’s simple, easy to get used to, and helps you focus on the combat.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]🎮Gameplay[/td]
[td]Gameplay is basic, but well executed. This is a shooter/puzzle game, that’s all about surviving. The main mechanic is pure slo-motion, based on your movement speed. It’s kinda like a matrix experience if that makes any sense. It’s “fast pace” pure combat, with the puzzle being you dodging bullets. It’s unique, and I actually really like it. There are many methods in killing your foes. With guns, melee weapons, your fist, or trick the enemy and have them kill their own. You can also teleport in different bodies which is a pretty cool mechanic. Once you beat the game, you unlock a few game modes like endless, and challenges. I just wish the enemies and levels are increasingly harder. Yeah you face enemies with a few different weapons, but that’s about it.[/td]

[td]📜Story[/td]
[td]The story was actually engaging! Being addicted to this simulator while the “moderators” watch and warn you about your wrongdoing does heighten the tension a bit. I won’t spoil much, but it was a surprisingly well done story, granted there’s no dialogue and mostly done on text.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]🕛Playtime[/td]
[td]Playtime is around 20+ hours if you are doing the extra game modes too. The story alone was around 6+ hours.[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]🎧Sound[/td]
[td]Sound design is super basic. Honestly just not much to say here. Besides the gunshots, there’s not much else in terms of sound design lol. Now that may be because this is based of a simulation.[/td]

[td]Performance was actually super good! There are little to no graphics options, but that doesn’t matter because the game ran perfectly. No stutters, no crashes, and high frame rates![/td]

[td]SUPERHOT surprised me! I knew it was gonna be a fun and unique game, but didn’t expect to get addicted to it for a short while. It was simple, easy to get into, and fairly challenging at times. A great experience if you want to play a super unique shooting game.[/td]

Specs for Review:

• GPU: RTX 3080 (Laptop GPU)
  
• CPU: Intel Core i7-11800H 4.6 GHz
  
[*]RAM: 32GB Ram

The game itself is cool and feels epic thanks to its unique time mechanic.
If you play it carefully, it won't be particularly difficult for you — I would even say it's pretty easy. However, that doesn't mean the game is bad, as it actually gives you the feeling of being a "cool pro agent on a secret mission", partially thanks to levels being not that hard to beat.
BUT
After only 30 minutes in I have already noticed a couple of really irritating things that worsen my gaming experience:
1) Somehow, this game removes the English keyboard layout from my computer when I launch it.
2) Pressing Escape sends you back to the main menu instead of pausing the game.
3) Restart requires you to hold the R button and shows you screen interference animation every single time which I find really unnecessary and annoying.
4) After completing a level you get to see the replay in normal speed, which is a neat feature. BUT it just keeps spamming "Super Hot" both in my ears and eyes. Sometimes I need to Alt + Tab after the level and I still hear this crap on repeat. YES you can press F5 after every level, but why did they have to make you do it? it just really is the highest point of stupidity for me. It is the worst thing on the list.
+ Replays don't have any sounds.
Also I don't care that much about it, but why does it need to have a separate launcher?

SUPERHOT still remains as one of the most innovative shooters of all time. Precision, timing and strategy will lead to unadulterated chaos. And watching my replays on Killterest is such a trip everytime. 9/10

Definitely an innovative shooter (really a puzzle game with shooter mechanics) and worth a try if on sale.

At the start of the game it says use right trigger or left click to shoot and it wants you to shoot your gun cause there two enemies in the way but whenever I shoot my gun it just resets the game so what's the point in even playing if you can't use them.

This is a pretty fun game, I liked it. Feels very cool when dodging bullets

Original concept, fun to play, it's not any AAA game, but it's minimalistic aesthetics offers quite of an interesting, unusual experience

Easy to get the hang of and really fun.

This is the most innovative shooter I've played in years! Definitely a must play for anyone and everyone. this is a spoiler

SUPER. HOT. A unique game with time as a mechanic, this game leans more to the puzzle side but it still is a FPS game at its core. Its visual style is very unique enemies, items easily contrasted from the sparsely detailed but still interesting environments. A game worth playing despite its short playtime, because its levels are all finely made and mechanics perfected.

Pretty innovative and has good mechanics but has a pretty mid story and too little levels. The art style and all is nice but I think it's only worth it if its on sale.

love the retro story-line and novel concept of time and movement. Fun short game

This game is so good it uses a little psychological horror and it makes the game so insanely fun because slicing and shooting people made out of glass and you actually need to use your brain for some of the levels and the replay that you can edit and the time only moves when you move makes you feel like a being from another dimension so that is why this game is not superhot it is superfun

Game is very fun, the time slowing mechanic makes you feel like your in the matrix.

SUPERHOT is a classic with a good mix of action and strategy. It feels amazing to plan your moves and pull off crazy stunts in slow motion. The graphics are simple but stylish, and the gameplay is super fun. It's not very long (I'm going for all achievements and I'm nearly done after 4.6 hours, I'd say the main story takes about 2 hours), but it's so unique and EXTREMELY replayable. Definitely worth playing! Have fun!

I would absolutely recommend this game to all of my friends and anybody reading this message, it's amazing and I cannot stop playing. It is the most innovative shooter I have played in years!

I saw this game a lot of years ago in a YouTube series and i decided to try it because I already knew the main mechanic of this game. The levels are really good and it feels so satysfing completing them and watch che replay without the slow motion. Sadly, the story is not so memorable but if you don't need a good story this game is a good one. The effects and the graphics are good but the sounds are really good. The levels are balanced and some of them require some time to think about the next move and some tries. To sum it up, this game is really good and the unique mechanic make it a must try.

I loved this game. Never played a game with time slowing as a central mechanic and they executed it in an engaging and entertaining way. Well done!

I meant this is a really cool game and you should play it. (I love how this review makes no sense to someone who hasn't played the game lol)
