In Superhot, you navigate through levels while hostiles blast at you from every direction. Taking a single bullet will kill you, meaning you'd have to work your way through the same rooms for hours if this was a conventional first-person shooter.

Which brings us to this FPS' selling point. Even though Superhot stands out due to the semi-infra red design, its trump card is the slo-mo mechanics. Unless you're moving or using your weapon, the gameplay moves in slow-motion, allowing you to easily dodge bullets and get the upper hand over enemies.

Even though bullet-time has been rampant in gaming since Max Payne, the way this Matrix-inspired mechanic is utilised makes Superhot one of the most innovative shooters in years. In fact, a lot gamers see Superhot more of a strategy title than an FPS, since the slow-motion gives you so much time to assess the threat and adjust tactics accordingly.

Despite the fact Superhot has been out since 2016, it's still winning over new gamers every day, due to the VR version and the recent expansion, Mind Control Delete.
