This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 30 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2022 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 258 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 4,985 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 2.4 hours; clearing it takes 20, which is 8.4 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

HAH. This game holds a special place in both my mind and heart cause it was the first video game I completed on my YT channel. While those vids are now forever gone into the abyss, the memories of me raging, celebrating and actually enjoying the game will never leave. If you haven't played it yet.. definitely recommended. CAUTION: SUPERHOT MIGHT BE TOO HOT FOR YOU TO HANDLE.

It feels so weird that this game exists, as I don't recall anything else that is similar in what it does. Very unique, and although I'm not good at it, I can recommend it just for the fact that it's exhilarating to finish each level.

About the game

SUPERHOT is the smash-hit FPS where time moves only when you move. No regenerating health bars. No conveniently placed ammo drops. It's you, alone, outnumbered and outgunned. Snatch weapons from fallen enemies to shoot, slice and dodge through a truly cinematic hurricane of slow-motion bullets.
