The biggest change in gameplay that old fans of the game will notice is that the pyramids between levels are gone. For everyone else, it will launch at $24.99/£18.99 on the Oculus Store alongside the Quest 2 itself on October 13. I would happily pay the asking price of $25 to play this game another time. Outside of Forbes, I have managed LetsPlayVideoGames.com and written for Wireframe Magazine, Destructoid, The Telegraph, Polygon and PCGamesN about everything from games to hardware. It feels more frantic and relentless, and it completely shuts down the ability to throw weapons between fights if you knew where you were teleporting to next… which, now that I think about it, was probably somewhat cheating. SUPERHOT TEAM provided The VR Grid with a press code for this title and, regardless of this review, we thank them for that!!! Overall, Superhot on the Oculus Quest is the best version of the game yet. The reviews don’t lie, Superhot is something every VR fan should experience, and they should now experience it on the Quest. Oh, you wanted more review, really? The audio in the game is still suitably atmospheric. The Superhot team has said they reworked how enemies shatter when you kill them specifically for Quest, so I’m assuming that this new way masks any differences by simply doing something differently. Each fight is a complex set of decisions, which enemy do you kill first, should you shoot your weapon now and risk their bullets tearing through you? The Under Presents is one my favorite, weird, endless games in VR, period. All rights reserved. No question about it. SUPERHOT VR Review — Live.

Superhot VR will be available for free for those who already own the game on the original Quest. Being freed from the small confines of the living room and being able to really walk around the world really added to the experience. While there aren’t any content updates (sadly), the Quest 2 retains the removal of the pyramid transition system that defined the original Quest’s version. Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. It also feels a lot smoother through the Quest 2 than it did through my Rift S on a pretty powerful PC, so those optimisations are definitely serving the game well. As mentioned in our original review, it’s a title that not only must be played, but felt. © 2020 - Handsome Phantom. Superhot uses this time mechanic to create all sorts of interesting fighting puzzles, but never feels like a gimmick. Although it has been a highly successful title, across multiple platforms, this game has humble roots. PIck it up as soon as you can. Since the date of our original review, SUPERHOT VR has blossomed into one of the biggest and best selling titles for virtual reality, and for good reason. The game is just superb. Die. Instead of having to smash a pyramid to move through the level, completing a fight will automatically teleport you to the next one, which changes the pace of the game significantly. Bug fixes, optimisations and tweaks not associated with the Quest, such as the change in level pacing, will also be making their way to PC VR and PlayStation VR "in due course". I've always been interested by the capabilities of virtual reality (Tron is my favourite sci-fi film), but seeing it take off in the last few years has really gotten me. All of that is gone thanks to the inside out tracking on the Quest. Considering the Quest 2's resolution of 1832 x 1920 per eye, that "near" is maybe doing a little bit of heavy lifting, but it still looks great. The audio, like the visuals, goes for a minimalist approach while remaining impactful.

Now, while the game does take about 2 hours to finish, I was disappointed when it was over, but having gone through this game something like 7 or 8 times, I can’t say I haven’t got what I paid for.

It’s  the same game as on PCVR, except it’s more refined and you have no tether.

The art style is simplistic, which of course lends to it still looking great, but I think people who expect simple graphics to be easy to port should do some reading on how the Superhot team brought the game to Quest, it’s quite impressive. If you see the game on sale and don’t own it, it’s an even bigger steal! Supposedly for the quest version there are slightly fewer effects than on the PCVR version of the game, but I honestly couldn’t tell a difference. Superhot Team is promising "near 4k resolution" and optimisations for a "silky smooth 90hz". As mentioned in our original review, it’s a title that not only must be played, but felt.
