It takes a unique mind - or set of minds - to do something truly original with one of the most time-tested genres in the history of gaming.

Enter SUPERHOT, a game where "time only moves when you do"; a really neat concept that lets you slowly duck under bullets, hang for a second in mid-air as gunfire skitters in all directions, lets you catch weapons out the sky and ultimately, makes you play 'The Matrix lobby scene' on loop.

If there was some award for Most Ultra Cool Shooter, SUPERHOT is that game from beginning to end. It may be short and it may be a very divisively-presented comment on our own devotion to playing video games, but for its gameplay alone, SUPERHOT is one of 2016's most vibrant and memorable surprises.
