When was the last time someone actually took the core foundations of a genre and completely changed them? That's what happened with SUPERHOT, a game born from a Game Jam where a number of developers put their heads together and came up with the idea of 'time only moves when you do'.

In reality, SUPERHOT plays like every badass slow-motion action scene you've ever seen, with you at the centre. That time idea is way more than a gimmick - it's active 24/7 - meaning if you stand still, everything slows to a crawl, allowing you to duck directly under bullets or gain greater hang-time in mid-air.

You'll then begin to remix the flow of time on the fly, stopping to survey your surroundings before slicing through swathes of enemies in quick motions, stopping to watch a bullet elegantly shatter an opponents' skull into many tiny pieces.

Factor in kitanas that slice bullets in half, throwable weapons, decapitating melee punches and a story that's self-aware about just how much this experience can take over your life, and SUPERHOT remains one of the absolute best first-person shooters of all time.
