[Narrator] So you like the idea of playing twitchy
00:08
first person shooters, but hate having to rely on
00:10
twitchy fast paced reflexes to play them?
00:13
Superhot might be the game for you.
00:16
In Superhot, time only moves when you move,
00:18
giving you plenty of time
00:19
to see that incoming bullet as it's frozen in mid air
00:22
to calmly step aside before it hits you in the face.
00:25
It's a decent simulation of what it must be like

to a wide variety of challenge and time attack modes.
01:05
Plus an intriguing endless mode
01:06
that tests just how many angular red bad guys
01:08
you can take down before dying yourself.
01:12
Unless you're a perfectionist,
01:13
Superhot isn't the kind of game that'll keep you busy
01:15
days and weeks well into the future.
01:18
But the narrative and the novel time bending game play
01:20
will stick with you long after you've let go of the mouse.

Right now in fact, I feel like the world around me
