#Superhot game full#

Superhot VR doesn’t scale to your ability there are no difficulty settings. Superhot VR will undoubtedly have you executing some amazing supernatural action hero stunts and the glacial pace will give you plenty of opportunity to reflect on just how precariously you are teetering on the edge of toppling over. One advantage of many VR games is that the pace is so frantic, your mind doesn’t have the luxury of acknowledging how hard your body is pushing. I don’t think I’ve ever had another virtual reality experience where actual-reality sped by faster. Superhot VR revolves around time manipulation and so it’s perhaps not unsurprising that visiting a universe where time has slowed to a crawl would speed up time on the other side of the headset. You will literally bend over backwards to narrowly dodge a barrage of slow-motion bullets and you’ll engage all your core muscles to do it without stumbling. This is where Superhot VR really executes well as a functional exercise game. Ducking behind cover and evading bullets benefited from a lot of deep lunges and squats. Not knowing what situation I would be spawned into, I often adopted a wide stance to better facilitate as wide a range of movement as possible with the fewest number of steps. Punching and throwing are probably the fastest, most forceful, movement you’ll perform in the game to repel your assailants, but these are still conducted relatively slowly. I contorted my arms and stretched my shoulders in some interesting poses to grab a weapon or to catch one as it careened through the air just out of reach.

Max heart rate:132 bpm (71% of max heart rate)Įndless mode is a bit more active than the campaign, about 23% more to be precise, but still falls neatly within the same general low-intensity level and my maximum heart rate never climbed higher than the moderate level it did during the campaign.

Average heart rate:106 bpm (57% of my max heart rate).

Calories burned: 320 in 53 minutes (362/hour).

I played each location for 10 minutes apiece and 53 minutes in total. Endless mode offers 5 different battlegrounds, with wave after wave of enemies coming at you… well… endlessly! I was also curious to test out some of the other gameplay modes that become unlocked once the campaign is complete. Having recorded this workout the day after an intense 3-mile jog and 13-mile bike, this actually limbered me up a great deal and relieved my soreness. Incorporating lower intensity workouts like this are extremely beneficial, both for untrained individuals just starting a fitness regimen, but also for seasoned athletes to enhance recovery from more strenuous workouts. This makes it ideal as a recovery and fat burning workout. This level of activity is comparable to a brisk walk. Using the 220 – age max heart rate formula, you can see that the intensity level varied between very light and peaks at moderate levels.

Max heart rate: 131 bpm (71% of max heart rate).

Average heart rate: 99 bpm (54% of my max heart rate).

Calories burned: 260 in 53 minutes (294/hour).

I think most people can expect to take about an hour to 90 minutes to complete their first playthrough. My first play through was maybe around 15 minutes more. This was my second time playing the entire Superhot VR campaign through from start to finish, which took me about 53 minutes.

I measured my heartrate for both the full campaign and on the Endless Mode that became unlocked after the campaign was completed. I stuck with just the stock foam for my HTC Vive which only became minimally damp after my near hour-long experience. I wore my usual attire of a bandana, which is adequate for absorbing moderate sweat. To test this I used a Polar H7 chest strap heart rate monitor paired with the Polar Beat iPhone app. I found that to get the best exercise benefit from this game – and to achieve success – means moving as slowly and efficiently as possible to eliminate all your targets. Punch, stab, throw, and shoot your way through room after room of aggressors as time stretches out like warm taffy.īut can this universally acclaimed VR title also give you a VR workout?
