This makes SuperHot VR just about as perfect an arcade game as you could hope to play. Death is quick and easy, and like the red crystal bad guys you go down with a single hit. The bad guys are very good at flanking tactics, and it’s far too easy to focus on one enemy only to hear the familiar shattering sound of your own defeat by a bullet you weren’t paying attention to. ![]() ![]() It will all work out fine if you follow the classic shooter advice of “Don’t be where the bullets are”, but even when you’ve got all the time in the world to scope out and react to the situation that’s not as easy as it sounds. One level might only have a single ashtray to fling at an enemy, causing him to drop his weapon on death so you can grab it out of the air and return fire, but you know there’s major trouble ahead when an area opens up with a couple of pistols, an uzi, and a shotgun or two within arm’s reach. A well-placed bullet or two and the area is cleared of anything living except me.Įvery level is its own unique scene and starts with a few weapons within easy reach. I use the last knife to slice the second enemy’s bullet from the air, then duck enemy #3’s shots to reach for the gun the first dead goon dropped. Practice makes perfect, though, and he breaks into pieces as the knife connects, but both he and the third enemy have had time to opened fire. The second enemy is on a balcony to the left and I toss another knife his way, but my track record for the longer throw isn’t quite so good. There are two other knives nearby so, while enemy number two is falling apart, I grab them both. I punch the first one, grab his knife, and throw it at the second enemy. There are four enemies to deal with, with the goon wielding a knife within reach. Total elapsed time- 4 seconds.Īnother level also opens with knives but, seeing as it’s midway into the string of levels that make up a section, it starts right in on the action. ![]() Staring at it for a second causes the pyramid to grow slightly, triggering the next level’s start. The familiar satisfying sounds of shattering glass kick in, red shards from the broken bad guys fly into my field of vision, and a black pyramid appears in the center of my vision. I’ve been here before because later sections keep killing me, so I reach out with both hands, grab the knives, and sweep my arms to the side without bothering to look. Two knives hang in the air in front of me, waiting to be grabbed before the level draws itself in. As it turns out, that’s more than enough to commit brutal acts of total badassery. What was an FPS in its original incarnation is now an all-new game built as a VR shooting gallery, and you no longer move through the full environment but are constrained within the small, safe area you’ve set up for the headset. That’s not entirely true, of course, but everything is going slowly enough that you’ve got all the time in the world to consider your next move before exploding into a flurry of violence. SuperHot VR doesn’t do anything that hasn’t been done already, but does it so well and with such a great sense of style that it’s easily one of the best pure gaming VR experiences available.īy now the central hook of SuperHot should be familiar- time only moves when you do. Instead it seems we’ll be seeing a slowly-improving series of games that add to and expand on what’s come before, with the occasional title that takes what we already know and goes nuts with the presentation. Everyone is waiting for a VR killer app, but it’s looking more and more likely that’s not going to happen.
