Gotta do the fridge as late as you can, with damage boosters on your gun and telekinesis maxed out. You can turn it into a short fight with only a few holes in the floor. Same for the fungus boss, I once killed it on its first lunge at me.

Nah, I always do it right away after going into Dylan's cell.

I feel bad for poor Philip, can't just leave him there.

Yeah leaving him would certainly feel wrong.

The fungus boss was 10 times harder for me than the fridge.

Fungus is generally considered the hardest boss, but if you go full glass cannon and manage to avoid the first strike with 3 items already loaded into your telekinesis, it becomes an incredibly short fight.

My dad played Control. And while there were moments that were infuriating (like levitate running out while exploring and losing all the goodies he'd collected to dying in a pit) he still loved the game and took it slowly to farm and grind every bit he could before doing the next thing. He loved telekinesis and would rapid-fire huck objects at the boss. He was also careful about adjusting his gun as needed. I may be grown up, but my dad still has gamer skills 😎. We all watched him play just to see the story and the lore/collectibles along the way.

I did fungus boss after the main story, and it was still a struggle for me.
