10 Video Game Boss Battles That Literally Hack Your Game

6. Father Theodore - The Evil Within 2

The Evil Within 2 is essentially Resident Evil meets The Matrix meets Inception. It's a wonderfully unusual concoction of incredibly weird genres, but perfectly melds into one spooky package.

Father Theodore is a man determined to gain control and his use of gaining that is through you. Obviously, as the lovable protagonist you are, you refuse his offer and what ensues is a bloodbath of horror.

Instead of directly fighting you himself, Father Theodore invades your mind and uses a plethora of horrifying bosses from the first game as his ammunition.

What ensues is an onslaught of past bosses, one after the other. It's gruelling, intense, but strangely nostalgic to the past entry and its enemies.

Remember that creepy spider lady from the original Evil Within that stalked you for the majority of the game? Well she's back now, with a whole new updated graphics engine to be the stuff of nightmare fuel, yet again.

It can be easy to scream in fury at Father Theodore's ability to hack your mind, but it's a lovely reference to the previous entry, so all is forgiven.
