Superhot is a fairly simple first-person shooter with even simpler graphics. The one thing that sets it apart from other games, is its time management. The in-game time is only as fast as the user's real-life movements. So, if you don't move, nothing will happen in the game. When you slowly look around, everything will move in slow motion.

This version of the game was specifically designed for VR. I haven't played the original version, but the VR version is a lot of fun. In Superhot VR you need to work your way through a number of levels with a very minimalist design. All levels are white, all enemies are red, and all weapons are black. You don't really walk around in these levels. You just start in a certain place, you kill the enemies that are coming for you and when they are dead, you're teleported to the next section of the level.

Now what's so fun about all this? Well, as I said: the time management. When an enemy fires a bullet at you, you can dodge it easily in true Matrix style, as long as you move slow enough in real life. Along the way, you get various weapons, ranging from guns and Uzis to knives and ashtrays. One hit with any of those weapons is enough to kill an enemy so it's not at all realistic. But realism is not what you should expect from this game anyway. Playing this game in VR for half an hour is an excellent workout session. The first couple of times I played this game, I was left sore the next day.

Honestly, Superhot VR doesn't have too much to offer but it's still recommended VR fun. As a player it's a good workout session and as a spectator it's a lot of fun to see your friends move in slow motion as if they were auditioning for the next Matrix movie.
