That dog/guy is super creepy; it reminds me of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

The mechanic of taking enemiesā€™ bodies is somewhat like a Shiny game called Messiah, released in 2000. The laser battles look a bit overwhelming to me, like Touhou, but Iā€™m interested in the puzzle and story aspect.

How about A Day in the Life for the Spectrum ZX. I immediately think of this when hearing about a floating head game.

Awwww, man, Iā€™d forgotten about Paradroid. I always wanted an Archimedes as well, cos Iā€™m an awkward bastard.

Depends on your definition of 2.5D. Iā€™ve seen it used for everything from ā€œ2D gameplay with 3D graphicsā€ to ā€œ3D gameplay with 2D graphicsā€ to ā€œmostly 2D gameplay with limited Z-axis movement, and any kind of graphics.ā€

But it does appear to be a 2D platformer with 3D graphics, in any case.
