SUPERHOT

Superfun. Got this after trying VR version at my friend's. There is just the right amount of content to not get too repetitive. Levels are progressively harder but not too hard. The whole concept of moving as little as possible while using every move efficiently is very inovative. Will definitely replay it sometime.

It is a game that is definitely worth trying, it is very good as a casual game and it is even better if you dig into the challenges and lore which are equally interesting, enough to not be too repetitive at all

Unreasonably well-executed mechanic and a gripping fourth-wall-breaking story to boot. Wow.

The story mode is short but fun through it's entire duration. The challenges however, are what kept me playing the game.

Classic, perfect gameplay and nice challenges

This is such a good game the idea is A M A Z I N G i have had 28 hours on this game and i have no regrets.
I love this game its AWESOME im not going to spoiler anything BUT please buy this game SUPERHOT

Atmosphere, atmosphere. And most of the fun is the unexpected. Any wrong move is leathal.

Creative Shooter. Beatable in a few hours, would recommend more if its on sale as I can't really justify why the game is the price it is for how much content you really get

Lasting Impression

10/10 very fun unique FPS that still holds up almost 9 years after release, although some aspects of it can be enraging, it is still a very strong first game for a new concept.

Pretty fun mechanic that gets a little stale (challenge runs unlocked after the campaign help a lot with this) but easily has the most annoying writing I've ever seen in a video game

buy on sale

100% do not buy at full price. Devs have their own launcher which seemingly only promotes their other games. I only got 5 hours due to sucking, but the campaign is like 3. Incredibly repetitive, either a positive or negative depending on if you like the, at times, VERY puzzle esque nature of the game.

Cannot in full faith reccomend the game, but it's still great

Superhot is a pretty quick game but MAN does it feel so badass to kill people in slow motion. This game is so much fun and if you want even more of the game there are infinite modes and side modes!

Very nice game. I'm not usually into bloody graphical shooter games, but again this isn't like that. Super cool concept and very well executed.

This is the most innovative shooter I've played in years! (I have a gun to my head please send help.)

it's more than 8 years old, and it's still the most innovative shooter i've played in years :>

Fun and high-octane, more of a puzzle game than a shooter but not a con at all

SUPERHOT is a rather unique FPS title.
It's a FPS game where the time slows down brutaly as long as you don't move, I think it doesn't freeze entirely because I remember dying sometimes when idling.
You and every enemy are one shot. This sounds fair on paper, but it's rarely a 1v1 in this game + the enemies always know where you are, so the game would be very hard without the time slow mechanic.
The game also has a story which is quite interesting, but the focus is very clearly on gameplay and coming out on top of situations where you have like 15 to 20 enemies against you feels quite intense but good and satisfying.
This game also has quite alot of replay value with modes that change up the game flow a bit, but I don't want to go too much into detail and just let you experience it for yourself.
It definitely isn't your average shooter so I highly recommend it if you are looking for a switch up!
Have fun!

I've never seen anything like. It is tthe most innovative shooter I've played in years.

Nice game. Very unique. Fun
Time slows down when you're not moving and accelerate when you move, when you complete the level it shows the replay on normal speed so you look like a total pro

Don't know if this is a hot take but honestly, not a fan. The premise for sure is creative and really fun for the early levels but it gets repetitive really quickly, mainly due to the lack of gameplay variety and enemies. The replay system, while creative, is extremely annoying with it's constant SUPER HOT text flashing on the screen hiding the gameplay and the voice being overall pretty annoying, and the only way to get rid of it is downloading the replay of the level you want (wich might I add lasts way too long for what it's worth). The game also has a really cliche"ThE gAme EviL aNd wanT to ConTroL uR minD <:(((" metanarrative story and takes itself way too seriously getting in the way of the main gameplay, wich is the reason most players even bought this game to begin with. If you want a better power trip shooter game buy something like Ultrakill or Doom Eternal (Or really anything else).

The game is definitely fun, although the length of the game is pretty short. Also (no spoiler) there are some narrative elements that are injected during the initial playthrough which seem clever when first encountered, but replay fairly needlessly on all subsequent playthroughs (seeming less clever each time). Unless the player is patient with this repetition replayability is fairly limited, the best option being "endless" mode which is unlocked after completing the story.The core mechanic "time moves only when you move" is brilliant and very well executed. Even so, skill and quick thinking make a lot of difference, so there is good reward for improving play skill.

extremely creative story and fun gameplay.

After trying the last level over and over again, probably over a hundred times there is only one thing i can say with complete certainty is dont give up.







this might also be because i suck at the game

A fun 3 hours! Regularly on discount, probably wouldn't get it at full price.

Game is SUPER FUN
I got all the secrets with only looking up a guide for a few of them
the challenges are fun
its probably the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

so fun, makes you feel like john wick, every new level is a puzzle of survival/escape

This game is really fun. It has a cool stop action mechanic. It would be awesome in VR.

The asking price for the game is a bit steep. My recommendation for you is to get the game on sale, as the campaign is a bit short. On the bright side, everything else is awesome. Super satisfying killing the red people. A unique and refreshing approach to FPS games. I highly recommend. Its SUPER HOT!

8.5/10

this game was a core memory for me, xbox one S, sitting on the living room floor, playing the Parking Garage level, learning i can stomp enemies, it was truly one of the best games of my lifetime

December 3rd - SUPERHOT - 5h 30m - (Main+) 4/10 - Started December 1st - 2 Days Taken - Beat the game, two challenges and got 18/26 achievements.

Here's my review:
Pros:
The fake OS works well as a framing narrative, pushing the story forward later. It immerses you into the world and creates some great meta moments. I especially liked the one where the main character acknowledges that he's not even typing any of the words that he's been typing. Another great one was where the game does take you actual keyboard inputs so it ends up being random gibberish.

Neutral:
The story is quite intriguing with the player getting trapped within the game and being forced to upload themselves into the algorithm and then kill themselves. However, it still leaves a bit to be desired since it doesn't explain who created the program or why they did it. What is the program's ultimate goal? Why kill persistent players who get too far into the game? The game could've used a second act after you join the machine where questions like these are revealed. Maybe they're addressed in the sequel, but it makes this one's story feel a bit half-baked.

The time-stop mechanic that makes SUPERHOT unique is used to great effect, making for some very fun and creative levels. Adding on top of this the hotswitch mechanic makes you feel like a badass when you pull off a cool play. The problem is that those moments aren't the most frequent. I never quite got the hang of the time-stopping and sometimes the amount of time progression felt inconsistent, which would often lead to a bullet in the face. The optimal strategy was to tap the movement key so you could inch forward which isn't the most exciting gameplay either and was very repetitive at times. The difficulty of the story mode is on the higher end of difficulty, but the difficulty curve is decent enough and challenges the player a good amount.

Cons:
What I have real gripes with is the bonus content, I know they are meant for advanced players who want more, but the difficulty spike is almost insane. At the very least the challenges should be ranked by difficulty so that you know where to start. For example, the first challenge I did was much harder than the second one. The endless levels were also crazy difficult, even more so than the other challenges. I wanted to see how close I could get to 100 percenting the game but the repetitive gameplay and frustrating difficulty made me give up. It wasn't fun getting shot in the back by an enemy you didn't know existed because you weren't checking all around you every second.

It is a unique and fun shooter, to recommend the game how the devs want me to, I'll say this, It's the most inventive shooter I've ever played.

it is a quick play through but some of the most fun i have ever had on a single player game

Long time I disliked this game coz it costs too much for less than 2h gameplay
But now I understood... it's not 2h
2h is for main classic story, which is not the best part
It also has speedrun, realtime speedrun, katanaonly run, legacy version run, and a lot of other absolutely unique runs, so here is a LOT more content than just 2h story

Good game, but the main campaign is short.
Achievements are a bit of a grind but feasible.
Take it on sales and have a few ours fun with it.

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



SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT.

"SUPERHOT" is an innovative FPS game that stands out from other titles in the genre thanks to its unique mechanics - time only moves depending on the speed when the player moves. This approach creates a unique combination of an action game with strategic elements, where every decision matters and every move can determine survival. The production of the Polish studio SUPERHOT Team .

it was alright but after going into the menus to enable physics lock i didn't realize the core was all a single level so i didn't bother continuing with it, the main gameplay loop seems fun at first but continually getting one shotted and respawning didn't seem all that fun in the end, especially when the respawn isn't as instant as dying

It is fun, engaging, mildly addictive but not too much, the storytelling is great, lack of "normal" graphisms is not a loss. Is this game completly bug-free? (I don't recall a single issue in years)

A fun game with a simple premise. It really is just "time moves when you move" and "shoot red guys," and that’s all it needs to be. The time mechanic is enough to make it a solid game by simply throwing enemies at random on a map. I love it. I also liked the story, even though it doesn't explain a lot of things, like how the main character interacts with themselves in the "real world" from the game, or how they manage to upload their mind. It leaves much of the story up to the player’s interpretation (a little too much for some, including myself). Still, I guess the vagueness fits well with the gameplay's simplicity. Overall, it’s a good game.

buy it when it goes on sale, no modding support... Not enough levels. The story is a bit thin/ not really important to the game play. It is woth probs about $10 for the 8 hours I have played

unique! adult themed shooting time puzzle game art of a very high calibre

I'm a 58-year-old dad just trying to figure out how to make my son happy, but it’s harder than I ever imagined. I see how much he loves video games, especially on Steam, but honestly, this whole digital world feels overwhelming to me. I’m fumbling my way through, trying to buy him the right games, struggling to understand how to download them, and feeling more out of touch with each click. I know he probably wishes I "just got it" like other dads, but I’m doing my best because I just want him to be proud of me. It’s tough, though—knowing that my best might still fall short of what he really wants. I’d give anything to see him smile and know that, at least for a moment, I managed to connect with him in a way that matters to him.

Good game, but the main campaign is short.
Take it on sales.

Have you played SUPERHOT? I've never played anything like it! It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years!!!

In all seriousness however, SUPERHOT prides itself in being a sort of unique "puzzle shooter". Simply put, the player must survive levels of increasing difficulty; punching red dudes while dodging bullets in "Matrix" fashion. All of this chaos is endured to uncover the truth behind the program that is SUPERHOT. Challenge mode repeats the same levels again, but each time with a different twist, a feature removed here, a debuff there. Suddenly, the levels we once memorized in story mode are no longer so simple. The only flaw is that once all is punched and done, there is very little left to do except replay, replay, replay!!! Don't worry though, there's bound to be MORE!

8/10. SUPERHOT SUPERHOT SUPERHOT

Costs too much for 2 hours of gameplay. The only thing that carries this game is idea, every other thing about it is lame. The story is awfully boring and generic. ''Hey bro this game is a virus that turns your mind into software and kills you!''. This is it, that's all you need to know. Then when you play the actual game, the way enemies act is completely random, time slows down when you don't move, what will they do? A). [Stuck for a bit doing nothing.] B). [Instantly walk though thousand miles and shoot you the next millisecond.] Most of time when you pick up a weapon it takes so long that it's literally useless. Sometimes, red dudes themselves can shoot you through 1 pixel of another enemy when bullet clearly would have shot him instead of player. Rifle enemies straight up spam you and you can't pick up anything which leads to - 1. [abuse mind control ability.] 2. [die.] You cant kill them any other way, because you have to keep the distance in order to not being shot at. How would you solve this? Add limited ammo capacity to enemies like in any other normal game. What is the problem? This makes dumb enemy pre-fire (even when you're not in their field of sight) very convenient for you. How do you solve this? In no way. Then there are throwables. You know what makes them waste of time in most cases? 1. [enemy bullets can break them.] 2. [they break even by hitting 1 pixel of wall and then fall into pieces]. How could this issue have been solved? Make another pieces fly further and be able to hit an enemy. This would solve both breaking 1 item that blocks only 1 bullet (and there's really not that much of items on the levels) and making them annoying to throw because you have to throw it perfectly. I'll touch a bit of melee weapons too. AD2013 is so fun to play because you (almost) never can use a melee weapon besides from your fists which kill enemies with one single punch (and they're the only melee that works fine). Then we have katana. Ok, I'm aiming at the enemy, my crosshair is at the middle, and I'm at the distance of melee's range- POOF you missed that hit! HOW? Even if the enemy becomes coloured in red stripes, you can still miss it! It happens so often and it sucks for the most part. Even if you throw katana, the hitbox is so needle-alike that you have to make a perfect throw once again, but the fun part about it that red dudes CAN dodge both bullets and throws by changing their direction of movement or by turning their body 90°. The problem is - you almost never can do the same, hell, there's not even a crouch in the game to start with, why? It'd make a great dodge move. Then, we also have item pickups and attack button being the same one, which makes it hard to control a situation at tense moments and it's quite unreasonable.

This game is highly overrated for what it is, all the replayability comes from the same boring challenges of the same levels, devs could have at least added the levels from an ending with a red core where you kill red dudes until you can switch to it. 10/10 for idea, 2/10 for execution.

This is my second time playing through this game. I originally played this game with my buddies at a party when it first came out. We stayed up to 2 am to beat it lol. Waited till it was on sale and played it through again. Was just as good as I remembered. Didn't take me long because it's not super long and I remembered most of it. It's very simple but very fun. Time moves when you move. Shoot the red guys. Don't get shot. Nice game overall, however it's simplicity means that after a while you know what to expect. Would recommend, especially if you can get it on sale. 9/10

A cool concept and even once you finish it you are still able to do the challenges.
