All the power of control base games
There are various abilities that players can acquire and use throughout the game. These powers can be further enhanced using points collected through various means.

How to unlock |
---|---|---|
start |
The one that power players will use most often is Launch. This power allows the player to lift and manipulate objects, and even fire them as projectiles to damage enemies. This is a great addition to a player's arsenal. This power is also used to traverse the world, reaching otherwise unreachable areas and solving puzzles. |
Obtained through the ‘Unknown Caller’ mission. |
float in the air |
This power allows the player to rise into the air and drift. This can be used to reach otherwise unreachable areas and gain a tactical advantage in combat. Players cannot remain airborne indefinitely and will begin to lose altitude after a certain period of time. This ability can be activated while Jess is falling. Players will want to select the Ground Slam feature for this ability. This is because this ability can damage and hinder enemies. Players will also want to explore weapon upgrades to keep up with the game's difficulty level. |
Obtained through the My Brother's Keeper mission. |
avoid |
This power allows the player to move from one space to another. This is primarily implemented for combat purposes to prevent incoming damage. However, players can also use it to close the distance on ledges that they might otherwise miss. |
Obtained through fun chase missions. |
grapple |
This power can turn enemies against each other. The important thing is that their health must be low enough for the force to work on them. This can help you deal more damage to other enemies, but it also prevents potential damage to the player. Be sure to kill captured enemies before they get out of control. |
Obtained through the ‘Captive Audience’ mission. |
shield |
This is the main defensive ability in the game. When used, the player creates a mass of rubble that absorbs all incoming damage. Players can use this to tactically redeploy or gain an advantage over enemies. Upgrading this power will allow this debris to bounce forward and deal damage to enemies. |
Obtained through the A Good Defense mission. |

There are few games that can really compare to Control, but here are a few games that could be roughly equivalent to Remedy's innovative and very strange title:
Control All Powers Foundation DLC
Players can gain two additional abilities through DLC, The Foundation. This DLC continues the game's story even after players have completed the core experience. These abilities are situational, have no use in the base game's story, and require specific crystal formations for Jess to operate.

fracture |
This is the opposite of the Shape power in that it allows the player to destroy crystal structures that impede progress. Both of these permissions are required to complete the DLC. |
