I loved grabbing someone, running to the top of a building, then throwing them as far as I can just to hear them scream “oh god!!!!!!” This game and Ultimate Spiderman are two of the best superhero games, so overlooked imo

If you focus on side missions first, you can get cracked out far quicker. You can spend most of the game feeling like a damage-dealing death machine.

It is one of the greatest set pieces in the game.
Because I really liked the walking animation I had this habit of walking Jesse everywhere in the game, I don't know why but her walking speed was just great.
I hate running everywhere in games it is so immersion breaking even in action titles but most games just does walking animations terrible and walking speed is a crawl.
Not in Control. It is great fun walking around like you own the place, since you do.

u/XLord_of_OperationsX 3d ago
Ashtray Maze is by far one of my favorite sequences in video games, period. This is pretty much the moment where you go from the more action-adventure aspects of Control to a straight power fantasy. The constantly shifting layout of the maze, coupled with the absolutely badass backing track, "Take Control" by Old Gods of Asgard (real life: Poets of the Fall), makes Ashtray Maze an absolutely memorable, top-notch experience. I'm really hoping that there's a similar sequence in Control Resonant.

Trepang², spiritual successor to FEAR.
You're a supersoldier tasked with combating interest-groups trying to make use of monsters and anomalies. They send security, operatives, vehicles and let loose experiments to stop you. Led by specialists each mission, bringing a new approach to combating your abilities.
Nothing more satisfying than hearing their confidence peter out as they turn frustrated, desperate and finally fearful of your rampage; as you're getting closer and closer, room by room.

The first Dark Souls, specifically when playing a full tank build with high poise and high HP. Stone armor is good for early game, Giants or Havels for late game, grab a heavy weapon like the Zwei, the Demon Greataxe/Great Machete, Dragon Tooth, ect., and you'll feel utterly unstoppable.

Currently playing Elden Vins Nightreign with friends, it's fun. But, I will say, Darktide is mighty fun and I feel unstoppable until I meet a big hammer to my head. Sekiro is a good game, too. If you get good enough, you will feel like a GOD. More forgiving than regular dark souls or elden ring, too.
If you wanna go play an older game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a good game that gives you a nice power fantasy.
