Games where one thing ruins an otherwise cool experience (Gaming)

I definitely got one.

I recently picked up Control off the Game Pass—one of the most awesome and fun experiences I've had in a VERY long time! A game that I consider to be almost perfect! (Shoulda known, since it was a Remedy game. ;-)

But one thing that certainly irks me is ...what I guess could be called the damage scaling, in terms of start vs. mid and end game. As you grow throughout, and earn chance to upgrade your player, that includes your health. You can upgrade it to a very high amount. Only thing is, the enemy damage seems to upgrade with it. So if a heavy damage collision knocks you down to critical in one hit at Level 0 health, when you upgrade to Level 7 health...a heavy damage collision knocks you down to critical in one hit. Basically saying it kinda defeats the purpose. Otherwise a hell of a game, and it turns out both the normal and Ultimate edition are on Game Pass, so I'm playing them both. ;-)
