There is only one obvious answer Superhot. Especially in VR it's so cool to determine the speed with how slow you move yourself.

In modern games I like the auto slow motion for example when drawing a bow, you get a chance to aim while making sense of the chaos. It's usually under accessibility settings, appreciated and fun to use.

Yeah - by rule, I pretty much never go with statements like "obvious answer" or similar, but Superhot is just that rare exception.

Second place goes to Max Payne, for popularizing bullet time in games.

I second the Max Payne addition. The first game was so cool. A little dated now, but it just oozes style and atmosphere.
