Hi Guys
I'm currently playing Control, a game about a woman with psychic powers in the New York FBI headquarters which has been taken over by some kind of supernatural power. At first, I thought it was too hard, I was about to give up, but I started to develop my skills and strategy, and now I'm making regular progress.
It kind of reminds me of the old Tomb Raider games in that you approach an area not having any idea what's next, then run into a large group of bad guys. You either win or die, if you die it starts you back and the last save point, and you do is all over until you figure out how to win the battle.
Eventually you figure out where to hide or attack from and gradually cut the numbers down until it's you against the boss then run around hitting him while avoiding being killed until you wear him down.
And then it's on to the next area. Once you get good at it, and she gets some skills it's fun.
My favorite attack is that she can pick up almost anything psychically and through it every thing from Fire Extinguishers to Copy Machines.
And everything in the place is destructible. If you hide behind a column the enemy shooting at it knocks off parts of it until it isn't cover anymore.
The reverse works too, you can destroy their cover as well.
Still its very hard because you can only gain your health back by picking up energy dropped by the dead enemy.
One of my favorite areas was a big really dark warehouse, you enter on a freight elevator, and it's dark.
There is a monster in the room hunting you, after he caught me about 3 times I started to figure out where things were and a stairway to a higher level and finally to a room that I was safe in. once there I would run out and explore and then back to the room to safety with a little more information.
I finally figured out how to turn on a light, and then another. Finally I managed to get all the lights turned on and the monster fled through a hole in the wall.
