The release of has been met with wide approval, praised for its strong storytelling and creepy atmosphere. Naturally, as a sequel to a game made in 2010, many wonder whether experience with the previous entries in the franchise is necessary to play or understand. Like many sequels, the story of directly follows the events of the first game, but the question of whether it's required to play other Remedy Entertainment games like is a bit more nuanced than a yes or no answer.
Steam’s coolest FPS game is 70% off right now, and you need to play it
15.10.2023 - 16:19 / pcgamesn.com
Superhot. Super. Hot. Super. Hot. Words that will forever ring around your skull after playing this time-manipulating, ultra-slick Steam shooter. There’s no going back from playing Superhot; it’ll change your perception of the FPS genre, alter how you think about combat altogether, and probably ensure you never say the word “super” in a normal voice ever again. Superhot and Superhot VR are two of the coolest and most essential games on PC, and they’re both going cheap right now in a Steam sale.
Superhot is a first-person shooter with one simple rule: time moves only when you move. You can look around in complete stillness, but take a step, raise your fists, or fire a weapon and time will flow as fast as you go. The result is not only one of the best FPS games you’ll probably ever play, it’s also a blend of real-time strategy and puzzle elements as well, so this is one Steam sale you won’t want to miss.
First making its name in 2013 as part of a seven-day game jam that resulted in a browser-based demo, only to be developed into a full game that launched in February 2016, Superhot’s stark white environments play home to numerous memorable scenarios. With each level, you find yourself in a dangerous situation with a simple setup, and must fight your way through a wave of faceless ruby foes intent on stopping you.
From the first time I played Superhot, I was hooked. You stand in a bar, a single pistol on a table between you and the closest crimson figure. ‘THE DEAL IS OFF’ flashes on screen, and it’s up to you to ensure you’re the last person standing. The stop-start nature means there’s no need to be a great twitch shooter with a perfect trigger finger; you have all the time in the world to line up your shot.
Just one hit is enough to take an enemy down, but the same bears true for you – so you’ll need to carefully judge incoming shots as they approach and ensure to sidestep or duck them as needed. The resulting effect is unmatched, and you’ll feel impossibly cool; the star of your very own action movie. Shoot two guys, throw the empty weapon at a third, catch their shotgun as it flies out of their hands, duck a slash from an incoming swordsman, and blast them into smithereens.
The best part? Finish a level and you can watch your deadly dance back at full speed, confirming just what a badass you are. Fantastic stuff. Along with its robust campaign of slickly designed levels, Superhot also has a captivating narrative that keeps you on edge as you communicate with a mysterious hacker over an online chat service.
To take the experience one step further, Superhot VR is a completely standalone game with a distinct campaign structure and levels built specifically for virtual reality. If you have one of

Remedy reassures PC gamers worried about Alan Wake 2 system requirements: 'We played real safe on those PC settings'
The full reveal of the Alan Wake 2 system requirements last week left a lot of fans unhappy. They're steep: The minimum spec for 1080p, 30 fps gameplay at the low graphics preset is an Intel i5-7600K CPU, RTX 2060 GPU, and 16GB RAM, and a sharp ramp up from there into recommended, ultra, and ray tracing requirements. But some optimistic gamers expressed hope that Remedy was inflating the PC system requirements for Alan Wake 2 in order to ensure that it runs well on all specs, even at the low end, and that's apparently the case.

Age of Empires 2 modder remakes Skyrim as an RTS, and you can play it soon
I've been playing Skyrim for a whopping 12 years thanks to its hard-working mod community, constantly downloading new quests, texture packs and ambitious features. But long before that I was spending my days playing through custom scenarios and fiddling around with the map editor in Age of Empires 2—the genesis of my love for modding. And thanks to Age of Empires 2 modder Grouchy_Bluejay4511, both of these brilliant games have now been combined.
