It’s incredibly satisfying to control things with just the power of your mind, and games have often explored psychic abilities. However, some games go beyond simple concepts, creating a truly immersive experience where you feel like you could bend reality with your own strength of will.
Unlike many games where telekinesis is a minor power, these six titles make it the core mechanic. You’ll be able to throw enemies around, manipulate the environment, and truly control battles with your mind – they nail the experience.
Control
The Glorious Bureaucracy of Telekinetic Power
Desks, filing cabinets, even fire extinguishers – in the game *Control*, these aren’t ordinary objects. They become dangerous weapons. Jesse Faden’s powerful psychic abilities are what make Remedy’s paranormal thriller so exciting and enjoyable. The thrill of tearing a piece of concrete from the floor and throwing it at a monstrous enemy simply doesn’t get old.
What truly makes the story compelling is how well it connects to that emotional core. Jesse isn’t simply a person with superpowers; she’s the newly appointed Director of the Federal Bureau of Control. This position not only gives her incredible power, but also the huge burden of overseeing forces that are beyond our understanding.
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
The Forgotten Psychic Powerhouse of the 2000s
This action game from the mid-2000s was remarkably innovative for its time. You play as Nick Scryer, a psychic soldier with incredible powers. You can throw enemies around effortlessly, take control of their minds to make them fight for you, or simply crush them with your psychic abilities. While it had standard shooting mechanics, the most enjoyable part of the game was combining your telekinetic powers with the surroundings in creative and chaotic ways.
Even now, *Psi-Ops* is remarkable for how enthusiastically it dives into over-the-top psychic abilities. There’s a playful joy to the game that few others capture, like throwing enemies into explosions or using mind control to make them accidentally fall off cliffs. It’s a beloved classic that proved how fun it could be to wield unlimited telekinetic power, well before similar abilities became common in games.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Swinging Lightsabers With the Power of Your Mind
In *Star Wars: The Force Unleashed*, you play as Starkiller, Darth Vader’s hidden and incredibly strong apprentice. You don’t just fight with a lightsaber—you use the Force to cause massive destruction. Enemies aren’t simply defeated; you throw them around with incredible power, pull Star Destroyers out of the sky, and send waves of Stormtroopers flying with a simple gesture.
The devastation caused by your abilities is immense and almost unbelievable. Each fight expands the idea of you being an exceptionally powerful Force user, exceeding anything we’ve seen in the movies. It’s chaotic, wildly exaggerated, and wonderfully self-indulgent – the ultimate experience of having limitless power.
Scarlet Nexus
The Beautiful, Brainpunk Future
I’m really enjoying *Scarlet Nexus*! It’s built around this awesome idea of telekinetic powers, but it’s not just about moving things with your mind – the combat is super fast and stylish. You play as either Yuito or Kasane, and both of them can grab literally anything around them – cars, streetlights, even pieces of buildings – and use it all in these crazy, over-the-top combos. It’s a really cool way to make the psychic powers feel impactful.
The game’s combat is where it really excels. It’s not just about throwing things at enemies; it’s a dynamic flow of your own psychic powers combined with abilities borrowed from your teammates. This creates incredibly fast-paced and well-coordinated battles, feeling like a beautiful, psychic dance.
Lucius
The Child Who Weaponized His Own Innocence
Okay, so I just finished playing this game called *Lucius*, and it’s seriously messed up… in the best way. You play as the son of the devil – yeah, *the* devil – and you’re a little kid with telekinesis. But it’s not about blasting enemies or anything. It’s about being a total puppet master. You use your powers to make these awful ‘accidents’ happen in this huge, creepy mansion. Like, a candle falls over, a vase moves, and suddenly someone’s had a really bad day. It’s all about subtly manipulating everything so the servants meet with these… unfortunate, and honestly kinda funny, ends. It’s all done from your perspective, and you’re totally invisible, just causing chaos. It’s dark, it’s twisted, and it’s surprisingly hilarious.
I’m absolutely hooked on this game! It’s not about big explosions or massive battles; it’s a truly *horror* experience. What’s so powerful isn’t about brute strength, but this incredibly creepy control you have over everything around you, and the feeling of dread it builds. It really proves how terrifying something unseen can be – it’s brilliant and genuinely chilling!
Galerians
When Telekinesis Becomes a Fight for Survival
Galerians stands out as a truly unique and bizarre game, blending horror with a psychic thriller. You play as Rion, a young man who wakes up in a mysterious hospital with amnesia, but discovers he has amazing psychic abilities. He can use these powers to throw enemies around, set them ablaze, or even mentally destroy them.
These amazing powers aren’t free – they take a serious toll on his body, causing him great pain and leaving him exposed. Using them is both exhilarating and frighteningly risky. The game’s unsettling atmosphere makes this telekinesis feel genuinely dangerous, not empowering. It’s a truly unique and underrated gem.
