Our take on Randall
Rather than treating enemies only as obstacles, the game makes their minds, weapons, and abilities part of the player’s toolkit. That shifts the usual action-adventure progression toward borrowing powers from opponents while exploring a controlled dystopian world.
What is Randall?
Randall is a dystopian action-adventure set under the control of a mining corporation and its military police.
Players guide Randall, a telepath with a fractured mind, through a world shaped by surveillance, forced labor, and mind control. The adventure follows a Metroidvania-like structure as Randall explores a large environment, fights enemies and bosses, and uncovers his identity and purpose. His telepathic powers let him take control of enemies and use their weapons and abilities. Progress depends on combining these powers with Randall’s combat skills, since some opponents cannot be defeated through physical attacks alone.

Randall compared to similar games
Randall combines Metroidvania-like exploration with telepathic control of enemies and the use of their abilities and weapons. Sundered: Eldritch Edition is also described as a Metroidvania, but its listed scope centers on chaotic action and roguelite structure rather than enemy mind control. The other listed alternatives describe climbing, a third-person shooter, a runner-shooter, or multiplayer shooting rather than this exploration-and-control format.
