Short, and Frustratingly Limited
Before SuperHot was released, I was familiar with the game thanks to its demo. I played through the demo countless times, loving its originality and style. Upon release, the number of bad reviews kept me from buying it, opting to wait for a decent sale. When the price was finally right, I purchased it, and I must say, despite paying considerably less than full price for it, I am still very disappointing with it. Calling it short is an understatement, in that I beat it in under 2 hours. The game itself isn't much longer than the demo, and doesn't actually include much else that wasn't in the demo, at least from a game play perspective. You are given a string of very short, unconnected levels. The transitions between levels are often so abrupt and jarring that the experience is more frustrating than enjoyable. You never feel like you are able to play for more than a few seconds, and are constantly yanked away from the game. Sometimes quite literally, as one "story" element of the game actually requires you to Quit the game, and reload it. I'm not joking. I felt like I was being teased with a game, but not actually allowed to play it. They spent more time in an effort to create a augmented reality-esque experience, at the cost of actual gameplay. The only time the game allows you to really experience the gameplay mechanics for what they are is after you beat the game. It unlocks endless mode which allows you to challenge yourself in a single arena as long as you can stay alive. This single element is more successful and more enjoyable than the entirety of the single player game. The only problem was that I was so frustrated with the game by this point, I didn't have much interest in continuing. Its unfortunate, because this game had so much promise. I can honestly say that the free demo is a better representation of the idea behind this game, and is also far more enjoyable than the final product.
