Superhot is a game we’ve never warmed to as much as we feel we should. It was originally released last year on PC and Xbox One, but it’s take until now for it to make its debut on PlayStation 4. The reason for that wait is obvious: to get the game working in VR, and that’s definitely the best way to play it. Or at least it is on PC. With PlayStation VR it has the unfortunate effect of exposing the limitations of Sony’s hardware in a way few other games have.
Somewhat confusingly there are two versions of Superhot being released on PlayStation 4 this month. The first doesn’t work in VR and is essentially the same game as released on Xbox One last year. Superhot VR is a separate purchase (there’s a bundle with both for £32.99) and is a sort of expansion pack style sequel to the original.
The gameplay and graphics are still largely the same either way, but by playing it in virtual reality the experience is transformed into something even more arresting. But faced with such astonishing visuals it’s all the more frustrating when the gameplay experience isn’t of the same quality.
