10 Best New Video Game Franchises Of The Decade (So Far)
6. Superhot
Superhot is a genius title. It's got a simple aesthetic, yes, but its premise alone is enough to warrant a purchase. I mean, who doesn't want to reenact dozens of action movie sequences in game form? No one, that's who.
The crux of the gameplay centres around the use of time. Basically, whenever the player moves, so do the enemies and objects around him. What follows is a methodical style of gameplay that charges the player with eliminating every bad guy in the sequence in creative and effective ways. At your disposal are assault rifles, handguns, swords, and shotguns, but each one is just as much fun to use.
As you chuck your way through levels using what can only be described as blackbelt gun fu, you'll come to appreciate Superhot's simplistic design. It's an FPS for the intelligent gamer, and one I can only hope sees further exploration in the future.
