10 Invincible Video Game Enemies That Pissed Everyone Off

7. Astral Spike - Control

Like Silent Hill, there are very few things in Control you can’t take out with enough firepower. So it comes as a surprise and a tense shift in your expectations when you come across an Astral Spike.

You’ll come across these metastructural entities primarily in the Astral Plane and they are absolutely terrifying. Unlike basically every other enemy in the game there’s very little you can do about them. They hunt you relentlessly, damage you if you get too close, and, if that somehow wasn’t enough to deal with, scream at you as they’re attacking you.

The little hurricanes of death are completely unstoppable and massively frustrating if you can’t figure out how to navigate your way around them. There are loads of things you can do to make protagonist Jessie more formidable in Control but try as you might there’s nothing you’ll ever be able to do to take down one of these guys.

Just stay away from the strobing murder ball. Trust us on this one.
