Back on the PlayStation 2 and original Xbox, Psi-Ops offered a refreshing take on the third-person shooter. It wasn't just about bullets; it was about telekinesis, mind control, and pyrokinesis, allowing players to manipulate the environment and enemies with astonishing creativity. The physics engine was a revelation, turning every encounter into a sandbox of psychic mayhem. It felt like a precursor to games that would arrive years later.

Before every third game had telekinetic powers, *Psi-Ops* let you truly unleash your inner psychic. You weren't just shooting; you were lifting enemies, throwing them, or mind-controlling them into traps. The ragdoll physics were groundbreaking for its time, turning every encounter into a sandbox of destruction. This felt like a genuine attempt at innovation, not just another iterative sequel. A real shame it never got its proper follow-up.
