10 Best Mac Video Games Of 2016

This title is a fantastic indie puzzler with an aesthetic in-tune with the Mac. From developers Superhot Team, Superhot (the game) is a minimal shooter with clean and clear graphics. This visual style helps the gameplay, because enemies stand out against the white backgrounds, which is useful as this is not the average first-person shooter.

Within most first-person shooters the player is able to take enough bullets to the face to take down a blue whale. In Superhot one bullet is enough to end you. However, the key mechanic of this title is that time moves only when you do.

That’s right, if you stand still, so does the clock. This is a great mechanic and takes some thought and brain adjusting to fully grasp when playing. Once you’ve mastered this gameplay feature, the game sets about testing you in a series of puzzles.

Each self-contained level only lasts around five seconds in real time. The challenge comes from your movement and the control of time. You are able to dodge bullets and headshot enemies as you have time to react and plan your next move. This is a great game for season veterans of the first-person genre and newcomers alike.
