It's been far, far too long since we saw a completely original idea thrown into the first-person shooter mix.

Enter SUPERHOT, the game where "time only moves when you do". It could've been a daft gimmick, but in the moment, where you can literally let off the analogue sticks and watch time slow to a crawl, feels fantastic.

Being in control of dancing around and under bullets, catching weapons in mid-air, diving around enemies and coming crashing down to slice them in half with a katana - SUPERHOT is every action scene ever composed with you as both director and actor simultaneously.

Its story may not be terribly long and is definitely a very polarising comment on where virtual reality gaming is heading, but for its gameplay, SUPERHOT is truly something you need to check out for yourself.
