SUPERHOT VR brings the visceral action of SUPERHOT directly into your head and soul. And now also – directly into your PSVR.
Pros:

- Story is good.
- Decent soundtrack.
Cons:

Summary
I still maintain Superhot VR is one of the best VR shooting experiences on PSVR. You just cannot beat the feeling of smashing a guy in the face, Catching his gun mid air and spinning around and shooting his mate in the head. Dodging bullets, Taking in your surroundings and putting people down. The game will keep you on your toes. Again though like the base game, It is very short and will then only likely be used for a showpiece for VR. But who cares really, You get your monies worth for the experience.
