Day 2 of looking at my most memorable games of 2016 (that I played through Steam).
You can learn more about any of these games by clicking on the title. If something catches your interest, give it a try and support developers that are trying something new!
Superhot
BODIES ARE DISPOSABLE
MIND IS SOFTWARE
Enter Superhot.exe, a hacked game from a company server where "time moves when you move". Every action moves time forward so a firefight becomes a type of first-person bullet hell puzzle game. The controls are also really tight, allowing you to punch a guy, catch his pistol, toss it to another guy behind you, grab his katana, spin around to cut a guy in half, then toss it across the room at the guy with the machine gun across the room through a window.
The visuals reflect that mechanical tightness, with noninteractive walls and environments textured white, interactive weapons and objects colored black, and enemies colored red. Similar to Firewatch, the game's campaign can be completed in an evening, but completion unlocks endless and challenge modes that have had me shooting and stabbing for another 40 hours.
My favorite of the challenge modes was the Speedrun mode: Every level has a goal time and the clock moves based on time in the game, slowing down and speeding up with every move. This completely changes the way you played each level before, optimizing your route and the order in which you kill enemies to achieve the Red Time! There are even more secrets to find beyond those that I'll leave for you to explore.
Please share your thoughts in the comments below and if there's a game that was really memorable for you this year, please make a journal and link it in the comments so I can give it a read!

Super cool artist types:{

I wish I games enough to add a title for the list. Then again, I'm the hairball
That finds old school games with revamped graphics just as fun as they were
During their first release. I'm still waiting for someone to do the insane thing and
Put the simplest of games (Mine-craft) through the unreal engine. Just to see
What would happen.
I'm a total sucker for pretty pixel art.
But if you're tired of shooting dudes in the face, then stay tuned, because Superhot is the only game on this list where you shoot dudes in the face. :D
SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT
