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.
Pro 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.
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.
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.
Pro Economic rather than military focus
The game focuses more on empire building over combat and military might. This means the game is a bit more political, which requires a different line of thinking.
Cons
Con Short story mode
Although there are plenty of other modes with a lot of variety, the story mode can typically be beaten in around 2 hours.
Con Short games
There is no real extended gameplay here, especially for an RTS. Games will last about 20-40 minutes and the structure of each game is very similar. Once the player gets the mechanics down and knows what to do when, every game will be pretty much the same. Win conditions are just too easy to come to the conclusion of and repeat with ease.
