Your opponents will come at you from the sides or somewhat behind you as well, forcing you to keep your head on a swivel. Oh, and they do not just come at you from straight away. If someone gets too close too quickly to get a read with your gun – or you don’t happen to have one? Just swing out and punch them (maybe take a step or two back from your monitors before playing). If you time it right, you can reach out and grab the pistol through the Oculus Touch controls and then start firing away. Throw a bottle at the guy with a gun and he will die, pitching backwards and losing his grip on the pistol that now flies into the air. However, the action when it is rolling is awesome. It recreates that infamous bullet-time from the Matrix where you need to move out of the way of oncoming bullets (making great use of the entire play space established by the second sensor on the Oculus Touch). This gives SUPERHOT VR a very strategic layer to the action, because you can take in what is happening around you and react accordingly.
There is a very strong Matrix vibe to this game as soon as you fire it up. So what happens if you take the same game and ramp up the immersiveness to a 12 out of 10? You get SUPERHOT VR on the Oculus Touch. It is a vibrant, action-filled first-person experience that might be light on content, but heavy on thrills.īoth stylish and unique in execution, SUPERHOT released awhile ago on the PC to rave reviews.
SUPERHOT VR is one of those titles that feels made for the Oculus Touch.
