Based around controlling time

Great art style

Top Pro

Multiple ways time is affected

Top Pro

Minimalistic yet beneficial art style

The art style in the game is very cool and minimalistic while actually serving to make the game easier to understand and play. The gameplay in Superhot relies on you being able to react properly to your environment, and the art choices make it really easy to understand what is going on around you. See More

Top Pro

Lets you roleplay matrix-like battles

The coolest thing about this mechanic is it essentially lets you role play matrix-like battles with you dodging bullets, slicing bullets out of mid-air with a katana and an assortment of other badass things to do. See More

Top Pro

Awesome time-based mechanic

In Superhot time only goes forward when you move. This turns the gameplay into something closer to a puzzle game as you need to be very calculated with every move you make. See More

Tons of unlockables

There are many different modes and secrets to unlock in the game, also small easter eggs and references everywhere, adding some replayability to this game. See More

Braid

Top Pro

Clever game mechanics

Braid utilizes a rewind mechanic where in the player can rewind the action in the game at any time. This is coupled with puzzle layouts to each lever where the player has to use the rewind mechanics to reach certain spots in a level. See More

Top Con

Story is depressing

There is a definite sense of melancholy while playing this game which can make for a depressing experience while playing the game, which may reduce the amount of time played. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Most brilliant puzzle mechanic and unique art style

Nearly the father of indies and an amazing experience that never gets old. A very unique experience. See More

Top Pro

Wonderfully challenging

On the outset Braid looks like any other platformer but once any time is spent with the game users soon find that the puzzles are deviously difficult forcing users to think outside of the box and even time itself. See More

Top Pro

An ambiguous, yet impactful retelling of a man's downfall and a warning to others

Braid is a story about loss and obsessiveness and how those forces drive the hunt for redemption. See More

Super Time Force Ultra

Top Pro

Single player co-op

The co-op in Super Time Force Ultra is actually only single-player. Players co-op with themselves by rewinding time and then playing that time over with what are now two players on the screen. See More

Top Con

Short

The game can be completed in only a couple of hours. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Controller Support:Full

Co-Op:1 Player Co-Op (multiple players on screen mechanic)

Top Pro

Pixel artwork and sound design are well done

The pixel artwork and chiptune sound design complement each other and call to mind the 8-bit style. Super Time Force Ultra incorporates some modern touches by taking advantage of newer technology that allows for more sounds at once as well as including more detailed and cleaner sprite work. See More

Top Pro

4 different soldiers to play

There are four different soldiers the player can use on each time rewind playthrough, each with their own weapon. Some soldiers are required to get past certain areas, which creates the need for a bit of planning for each and every level. See More

Top Pro

Humorous story

The plot of Super Time Force Ultra consists of the main characters going back in time to alter events in history. The twist is that most of the reasons they do so are petty and selfish. This gives the game a light-hearted tone that can be laugh-out-loud funny at times. See More

Timebenders

Top Pro

Strategical combat combined with twitch gameplay
