10 Great Video Games That Are Way Too Short

Superhot's premise couldn't be simpler - Time moves when the protagonist moves. While standing still, players have enough time to assess every threat, allowing them to dodge bullets and blast enemies.

Even though The Matrix-inspired bullet-time effect has been done-to-death, Superhot finds a way to reinvigorate the concept. It's deeply empowering to weave and dance around incoming bullets, while disposing charging enemies with ease.

Rather than rely on a single gimmick, this innovative shooter puts in just as much effort in every other aspect. The monochromatic visuals and crystallised AI makes everything on-screen pop. The cryptic ever-evolving storyline incentivises players to keep going so they can learn more. The constant reverberation of bullet-fire heightens the tension and amplifies the gameplay.

But there's a big catch. According to HowLongtoBeat, Superhot can be completed in just over two hours. And for speedrunners, the main campaign can be done and dusted in as little as 45 minutes.

Since the game includes a barrage of challenges, no one will be getting bored anytime soon. But considering how mind-blowing the gameplay is, Superhot could've been 10 times longer, without the time-altering mechanics ever feeling repetitive.
