SUPERHOT VR is built on one rule: time moves only when you move. That turns each room of enemies into a puzzle where you snatch weapons, shoot, slice and dodge slow-motion bullets, with no regenerating health and no ammo drops. The developer lists awards including GDCA Best VR Game 2018 and the DICE Immersive Reality Game of the Year 2017. The SUPERHOT FOREVER update adds endless levels and challenge modes such as headshots only, speedruns and finishing without shooting. On Quest it supports every model back to the original Meta Quest, takes about 750 MB, and offers 11 languages; the Meta store rating is 4.7 from about 18K ratings. Steam players are cooler on it, with 79% of 5,856 English reviews positive, and the Steam page notes periods of off-topic review activity. Standing play is required, and the campaign is short next to the bigger games here.
