#Superhot 2 series

This trade-off may be controversial for fans of the seriesĮach level is no longer a carefully authored, planned experience, but instead a procedurally generated environment based on a series of themes. It’s not about knowing what the enemies are thinking, it’s about extrapolating their movements and attacks a few seconds into the future, and then making sure I’m not there when the bullets arrive. I better move out of the way, and also if I slide to the right, I can punch the other enemy so hard that they shatter, take their handgun, and begin to fight back. That faceless red goon will continue moving to the left, and in my standstill, I can tell he is about to fire at where I am right now. In Superhot, time only moves forward whenever I move, which means that I can always stand still and give myself some time to take in the scene. I can’t see the future, of course, but I can stop time. I always wonder what the enemies see when I play Superhot.įrom their point of view I must be moving at about the same speed as they do, except during successful runs they must think I always know exactly what to do to get around their defenses, as if I can see a few seconds into the future.
