Not a month for gaming for me unfortunately. Started the month by playing a little bit of Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 in an attempt to find some love in there, it’s still feels a shell of what I was wanting.
Then I went on vacation for a 10days to Brisbane & came back to find a drive-by-gifting from ButtStallion !
Cheers for sending me SUPERHOT! So how could I not finish off the month without playing some of that?
Damn I love this game. For me it’s calls up memories of playing Portal for the first time. A game all premised on a single mechanic & physics. Admittedly SUPERHOT is missing the nuances, plot & is even more pared back graphically than Portal, but damn this is a great game to play.
Punished the game through the “Story” which essentially is a 3hr tutorial/map introduction. And then kept on swinging through as many of the challenges as I could. These are where the game comes into it’s own, having different restrictions placed on your play style.
Then Endless Mode is a great take on the genre classic Horde/Swarm mode. Every attempt left me hurting as I knew I could/should be able to do better. That feeling is probably what makes the game rate so highly in my estimation. Every death was definitively attributed to me making a mistake or not paying enough attention. I never felt cheated by the game or angry towards anything apart from my ineptitude.
So top marks for a game that allows you to experience short and brutal battles as Neo or John Wick, this is definitely a game I’d recommend to anyone.
Doubtful I’ll get onto any other games before April, so a slow month for me, but worth it.
