SUPERHOT

SUPERHOT is a shooter where time only moves when the player moves. If you stand still, bullets, enemies and glass shards freeze, so every fight turns into a calculation task. There are few weapons, but every hit is worth an entire shootout. Opponents appear in waves, and some of the levels resemble a puzzle: you need to understand the order in which to remove them, because there may not be a second chance. Between tasks, short scenes are shown that break the fourth wall and explain the rules of the game with time. The design is deliberately sparse: white walls, red figures, a minimum of details. In addition to the story levels, there are individual tests and short tasks where the rules change: for example, not everything freezes, but only the opponents. Weapons have to be selected on the spot, so the arsenal is always different. Opponents are divided by type, and some of them can shoot across the area. The design is deliberately sparse, and the sound emphasizes every step. Saves are placed between levels, and you can replay them for the sake of time. The passage is short, but repeated many times. For those who like to compete, there is a mode that calculates time and points for style. Weapons are selected on the spot, so the fighting style changes from level to level. The settings allow you to disable unnecessary effects if the picture is disturbing. Some levels open after completing the main line. Saves are made between tasks. Knowing the location of the enemies, the section is traversed almost without stopping, so the passage is short, but repeated many times. Additionally, time trials are unlocked. For those who like shooting with timing, this game is suitable.
