8 Recent Video Games That Utterly Messed With Your Mind
6. Control
There were at least a handful of moments where I actually had to put the controller down whilst playing through the almighty Control and sit there nodding at just how brilliantly the game had managed to hook me in before pulling the rug from under my feet, so much so that I often refer to control as my "gotcha" game.
No matter where you turn there are moments that will utterly mess with your mind. From the mind-melting layout of the facility, the obtuse way it handles its plot points, or the utterly insane teases, tricks, and warps to our perceived reality that will leave you scrambling for a moment of normality, Control is a game designed to push you to the brink and beyond.
It's lucky then that the game is an utter joy to play, mixing in shooting gallery segments with incredibly tactile superpowers and shooting, meaning that whether the game is breaking your brain or forcing you through firefights it's never, ever dull.
Plus that fake-out ending? Absolute brain-bending bliss.
