SUPERHOT VR is PlayStation VR's almost perfect shooter - but before you play, prepare a lot of space in your room for dodging the bullets. Great game with original idea for gameplay.

SUPERHOT VR is a challenging but very fun game. Punch, slash and shoot your way through various levels of intense combat and bullet-dodging action. Multiple weapon types from the thrown shuriken to quick-firing uzis are available throughout this action-packed game.

SUPERHOT has been talked about a lot since it debuted on Oculus, and for good reason. Now that it's finally available for PSVR owners, it's a must have for anyone who wants to play a VR first-person shooter with a twist.

SUPERHOT VR takes an already amazing game and translates it to VR in a very impressive manner. Some minor control issues and short length does hold it back a little, but I have never felt so close to being an action hero before.

Given SUPERHOT VR's price of entry ... you get a good amount of hours of gameplay, that's even worth repeating for additional challenges. Just know that over on the other side of that Oculus fence, the grass is definitely greener.

Overall, Superhot VR is a really good way to experience the game, possibly better than the original, but it bothers me that it was censored so long after it came out. A toggle that allowed players to avoid sensitive content already existed, so it’s unnecessary to remove the graphic content from the game entirely.

Superhot VR is still a joyous experience and one which I have to admit I enjoyed more than the original. It's the sort of game that once you come out of VR, you're dying to tell people what you've done. You actually feel like you've briefly lived in an action movie, and there can be no better argument for the power of VR. Superhot VR is impossibly cool, unbearably stylish, and horrendously addictive. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER.

Superhot VR is fast, action-filled, and addictive. It's one of the few VR games that truly makes you feel a part of the action, and while the aiming mechanics can be poor at times, the game more than makes up for it in fun and flair. If you liked Superhot or are looking for the pinnacle of where VR games are at at the moment, Superhot VR won't let you down.

Superhot on its own was already a rich, memorable title that presented something different to the genre. This VR expansion takes that up a notch or ten. It really is like stepping inside an action movie. The level of immersion is second to none, but more important is the level of fun, which throws as many dangerous scenarios and enemies as it can and asks, "How will you stop us?" It is hard not to rise to the challenge—and don't be surprised if a lot of the office furniture is crashing down as those bullets are dodged and intercepted. This is a virtual power fantasy in all the best ways.

SUPERHOT VR has everything a game needs. It has plenty of action which you get to control at your own pace, like a badass. It is fun with a clever minimalist look that keeps you focused on the gameplay, and it offers a lot of replay value. These are great qualities for any video game, but they're even more important for a PlayStation VR release. This is a must-have for Sony's virtual reality hardware, so be sure to grab it today!

What was already an excellent game reaches a new level with virtual reality. Superhot VR is a very entertaining and immersive title that, based on a simple idea, manages to deliver levels well designed and elaborated, placing the player in critical situations, where each movement is precious. Although tracking is not always perfect, the freedom of moving your hands and even your body is satisfying, especially when you feel like a hero in Matrix, gracefully dodging bullets in slow motion. It is a must-buy to every PSVR owner.

I can't stress how much fun SUPERHOT VR is when you become fully immersed… it's like being able to be both John Wick and Neo at once. You can have your cake, eat it, and then be offered seconds.

The PSVR version of Superhot could certainly use a patch to clean up the tracking, and introducing a difficulty setting which allows more forgiving continues wouldn’t go amiss, but when you’re in the zone and laying brutal waste to a level full of anonymous digital thugs, there’s a very special brand of wish fulfillment at work here.

The SUPERHOT Team have done an incredible job making you feel like an absolute badass and the star of your own action film. While it can get frustrating at times if the PSVR camera loses track of you or your move wands the game’s smart use of colour, unique time mechanic and replay-ability options make it one of the best action PSVR titles available.
