Psi-Ops is not a perfect game, but it might be my perfect game.

A wonderful, fun-first action game where the entire selling point is giving the player a thrilling set of powers that are actually fun to use. The giddy thrill of rag-dolling enemies with your superpowers eventually gives way to a much deeper experience. Levels are excellently designed, allowing you to really experiment in either chaos or fine strategy. I managed to skip an entire puzzle by using the game's unique mix of powers and physics, in a manner not unlike something you'd see in a twitter video of Breath of the Wild. Despite its short runtime, there is a lot of room for experimentation.

The story is nothing - or at least it seems that way at first. By the end, the cheese factor had won me over and I was genuinely a bit gutted to see it end on a cliffhanger. Not because of the characters, but because it just feels like this is a bygone era of games - and just like this story, we will probably never get back to it.

Despite some wonky set-pieces in the fourth quarter, this is a wonderful game that you could breeze through in one session -- and I hope some of you do.
