16 Essential Video Games Worth Buying An Xbox One For

14. SUPERHOT

When was the last time you played a first-person shooter that genuinely felt like it was pushing the entire genre forward?

SUPERHOT manages to do so in grand fashion, by changing just the basic act of movement. By assuming we take the notion of mapping analogue sticks to move characters as standard, the hook is that "time only moves when you do", meaning everything is at a near-standstill, only for a nudge of the stick to ever-so-slowly lurch things back to reality.

After only a few minutes in you'll be sprinting towards enemies, easing up to slowly duck under bullets, firing off perfect headshots as you weave a line through groups of foes. Weapons fly up into the air when blasted from their hands, and you can grab them mid-motion, throwing them to daze other enemies or just to block incoming fire.

It's like The Matrix meets Metal Gear Solid's VR training modes; a sublime combination of game mechanics and visual execution that gives SUPERHOT a killer identity.
