Time Manipulation in games

CastorTroy

I thought I asked before, but can't find a thread so will ask now.

Being a fan of the Prince of Persia Sands of Time games, I was wondering what other games involving time manipulation would you suggest?

By this I mean ones where you directly control time to affect enemies/the environment/the game. So Sands of Time and Braid would be included but Ocarina of Time wouldn't(since it pretty much just skips ahead/back in time)

I know I saw Quantum Theory uses time manipulation and from what I know TimeShift is another

Viewtiful Joe if you can find it and have a console that can play it.

Pac1Man

Would Braid fall into this?

Yep, have it on the Gamecube. I'm pretty crap at it.

Yup, finished it last year, or earlier this year, thanks.

Superhot and Singularity spring to mind.

Blinx the Timesweeper on the Xbox

Super Time Force, GRID, The Adventures of Shuggy and The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom all feature the mechanic in various ways.

singularity is a great example

The max payne series, and red dead redemption - time is slowed in shootdodge and focus mode.

Dishonored has an optional skill that involves time manipulation. Dunno if that counts.

Return of the Obra Dinn only has a demo of sorts out, but it features some unique time manipulation mechanics.

Remember Me has some time skullduggery in its memory sections.

Transistor also features a planning mode that lets you stop time and then Attack at super speed.

It seemed to be added into a lot of racing games for a while, with the ability to reverse time after screwing up a section of track.
Slo mo in game became trendy in the wake of the Matrix pictures but sniper scenes often have a gratuitous kill shot in slo mo as well.
Blinx is dreadfully clunky and, like many games, you are very limited in how you can use time manipulation as they don't want you breaking the game, Singularity is the same though at least that is based around a solid fps core.
Time played a massive part in the GameCube game Eternal Darkness, while you can't travel in our manipulate the time dimension the way the game is structured makes past present and future all interlink, well worth playing tbh.
