Superhot VR
Best Workout Video Games
For a game that’s all about slow-motion action, it’s surprising how much of a workout Superhot gives you when playing in VR. Ducking, throwing, punching, and jumping from side to side are all things you’ll be doing in levels as you attempt to kill all the enemies that are creeping towards you.
A lot of the workout and sweating, however, comes from the tension of every level and the breathlessness of jumping back in again and again to beat the level.
You’ll be punching one guy, grabbing a knife out of another guy’s hands, and chucking it at the last one, with it feeling amazing when you pull it all off seamlessly. Do it wrong, though, and you’ll be rolling around on the floor in no time trying to avoid a bullet and not kick your TV.
The levels being just seconds long at times means you’ll be rushing to try again when you fail. It’s this repetition and feeling that you know what you’re doing and can do it quickly that really gets the pulse racing.
