9 Video Game Enemies That Help You Defeat Them

Any situation where you have the ability to freeze time and manipulate enemies immediately encourages playful experimentation.

Channel your inner superhero, and you can actually freeze time just as a guard fires a shot, immediately possess him and make him walk in front of his own bullet, before dropping both magics and revelling in the deliciously naughty feeling of killing an enemy with his own bullet.

Dishonored 2 takes this one step further. When facing up against Grand Inventor Kirin Jindosh and his clockwork soldiers, you can disable the clockwork creations’ sight by shooting off their heads, which makes them switch to auditory detection. You can then sit quietly while Jindosh makes all the noise, and the Clockwork Soldiers, unable to tell friend from foe, will attack and kill their master.

Additionally, you can use a Rewire Tool to reprogramme the soldiers to fight for you for a short time before blowing up.

In a game with so many ways of dealing with a violent encounter, by far the most satisfying methods come from playful experimentation.
