I am so jealous of all the people getting to experience this masterpiece for the first time next month.
And for free.
Is CONTROL still available in the play station plus? Can't seem to find it. :(
@@RedstonerCraftMC It should be. Try looking under your Subscriptions. :)
@@nederndreng does US and Singapore have different games in Playstation plus?
@@RedstonerCraftMC Not sure about Singapore, but the US and EU has the same ones at least. There might be a problem with the PS Store or something like that, if you are unable to find your PS Plus games.
For me, Control is one of THE most under-rated games of recent years. Takes a few hours to really get going but when it does, it REALLY gets going. By the way, thanks for the Walkman, Ahti.
Had never heard of it before but Ash really sold the game to me. Went to pick it up right after I finished the video lol. I know what I will be doing this wekeend. :D
The Ashtray maze bit
one of the most memorable games ive played in the last year, without spoilers id say its like men in black meets inception. Its really fun and intriguing, has some creepy undertones as well
Jeez what's wrong with me. I don't like this game as much as others. I prefer watching more than playing.
Bought the ultimate edition 2 weeks ago , platinumed it. Can't belive I slept on this game . Remedy got themselves a New fan for sure !
Some twilight zone vibes in the game as well but yes perfect description of it!
The whole has such an eerie feel to it. I'm addicted though
Great game Control. Decent little platinum as well that doesn’t take too long to get.
Takes a little longer than early versions because you can't slam upwards to reach some of the secret locations for skill points
@@Kaiser8513 you really only need pre-nerf ground slam for the one in Central Executive. Of course, if you buy the DLC you can easily get enough skill points for the trophy but I understand not everyone wants to do that.
@@tomgroot7039 I had to cave and do that as I wasn't going to restart the game for one skill point when I had everything else done but it was actually one in the Pit I got Central Exec by jumping on a floating body
The only platinum's I have are both ps4 Spiderman games
@@tomgroot7039 If that’s the one I’m thinking of I remember stacking pieces of furniture and boxes to reach that one 😂
Yep, you've convinced me to play this!
Play Quantum Break as well. Same company, fantastic game!
@@werdna5000 You make it sound like an exclusive. Did you ever think with that small mind of yours that others have different experiences from you?
@@werdna5000 They've never done it before so why would they start now? Most they'll say is "it's free with PS+". I don't know what Control did to you to make you so upset with it but chill out kid. Its just a game.
@@werdna5000 ok well go play fortnite then, Littleboi.
@Robert Dawson True, I liked Alan Wake a lot as well it was just that Quantum Break was sort of the same "style" as Control.
Scenes like "Dyna-mite", "Swift Platform" etc. are just perfection. ♥
The Ashtray Maze. That is all.
I think this must be played on PS5. What they did with the dualsense controller is incredible. Different feelings for each gun, light subtle taps while walking/running, detailed subtle haptics depending on what power you're using.... I'm sure I would have loved the game regardless of platform, but I don't think I would be addicted to it like I am on the PS5 on other platforms.
Hello you’ve caught me... wait
Thank you for 100 likes
Loved this game. Ashtray Maze was one of my favorite parts of any game for a good while
Yeah, it's probably my favorite sequence in any video game, period. I can't think of anything else that even comes close.
I LOVE Control. I have both DLCs and have gotten every trophy available. The game play is so enjoyable. Ash seems to prefer the gun over her powers. I was the opposite and used my powers all the time only using the gun when I needed to recharge. Control is FREE in February with PlayStation Plus. Wish I could experience this game again for the first time. Too bad I already own it :'(
Thanks for mentioning that. I was probably going to buy it tonight if you hadn't.
Same here,but I know EVERYTHING about this game so hit me up with a question, I will shock you and I CANNOT tell you why I have insider knowledge
Thanks for the info! I've been eyeing out this game for a while, perfect time to grab Tuesday
@@dthomas4566 If you're like me you have a few friends and/or family that work for some of the "big" companies of the industry
I love the game but its hard to get around the facility at the start atleast i dunno if there will be a fastet way of moving around
Dr Darling & threshold kids are my favourite part of this game for sure. Really stays with you long after playing. The design of the different office's & labs is excellent & underrated imo. Packed with secrets & references too. For the people who really get into it you will definitely not be disappointed.
Best game I've played in years. 112 hours in, and I'm still enjoying it. Well-hidden, clever quests that grant you cool costumes and mods are probably my favorite part of the game. Also, there are no missable trophies, and you don't have to play the game multiple times to get the plat - always a plus in my book.
But I've already platted it!
*cries in corner thinking about threshold kids*
Glad she showed a bit of the threshold kids they are hilarious/horrifying
Perfectly put, Ash! Control quickly became one of my favorite games of all time when I started it on New Years Eve 2019. The world building, the gameplay, the awesome weirdness, the characters and the design is just out of this world. Needless to say, I platinumed this masterpiece in about 2 weeks time!
Without doubt one of my games of 2020. Loved the surreal nature of it, and a difficulty curve that was fair throughout.
In response to the Maze, I can honestly say when playing it I was bit shocked as it came out of left field but as soon as I finished it I was blown away.
Strongly recommend
Played this last year on playstation now, I downloaded it and played it for days. You'll get so hooked on it. Jessie is a great hero, beautifully acted and cool as hell.. I bought the 2 expansions I loved it that much and over Christmas I bought the ul edition for whenever the hell I finally get a ps5... Definitely one of my favourite games in the last 10 years.. It's going to be on playstation plus for Feb so everyone go download it and give yourself a week of this and you won't be sorry
Fun facts: since Remedy is a Finnish developer Ahti’s actor is famous Finnish actor Martti Suosalo. In Finnish mythology Ahti is god (or spirit) of water, but it is also a name.
I’d love for PS Access to do a full let’s play series of Control. Maybe Rob could play it for the first time with Ash/Nath guiding him through it.
So glad it’s getting a second chance as a PS Plus game, way to many people skipped this on release, and that ashtray maze 👌
WOOOW, this is such a well-written review! I love it!! I'd love to play this game. Also, "...little fever dreams turned into poems
and typed up as meeting minutes"--what?! That is BEATUFUL!!! Like something directly out of Fahrenheit 451! You could easily become a sci-fi writer yourself! I LOOOOOOOOVE that sentence!!
The Ashtray Maze blew me away, that was so well done.
But everything else was amazing too - Ahti, the Board, the Objects of Power, the way it just pulls the rug out from under your feet all the time, also Porcupine Tree's "Fear of a Blank Planet" as the credit song at the end! I only really got stuck on one insanely hard fight in the middle but fortunately there's a built-in cheat option (at least in the PC version) that got me past that.
But yeah, great game!
Control is a lot better then most people have said. My favourite part in this was ashtray maze listening to the heavy metal music. Another scene I will put out there is watch dogs 1 where you use traps to kill enemies and in the background has got heavy metal music.
Yup - Great music in that level
it's like if SCP was made into a game, the best parts are the environment, the lore and the powers to throw vending machines at enemies.
I hope we get another game in addition to the new Allen Wake game coming out in 2022
Edit also Darling needs to come back because he was the best character and a take on one of the most popular SCP scientists Dr Bright.
You should know that this game universe is expanding and more is to come
@@dthomas4566 I do hope we get the original Alan Wake on playstation, but if not it is something i'll get when i have enough cash for two systems lol.
But yeah there is Alan Wake and Alan Wake 2 (2022) then Control. but then there is lots more characters from both series that they could have games based on.
Darling and the Old Gods of Asguard if lucky.
Do you have a source for the 2022 Alan Wake release date or the direct SCP inspiration or did you just read that in someone else's comment?
@@kalevstheworld i need to find it again, where it was stated they wanted to try to get the game released at the same time as the date when the future AWE was set for.
For all of you that love the lore and weirdness check out these books, Borne by Jeff Vandermeer and Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami
Got my platinum a few weeks ago and just finished both DLCs last week and this week respectively. What a ride. So enjoyable. I am a Threshold Kid now.
Such a good game. I initially chalked it up to "Jean Grey gets a shape shifting gun in the SCP universe" and it's just so much better than that
This was also very much my way of looking at it.
Loved the Mark Z. Danielewski reference!
I've already played Control and I completely agree it has House of Leaves and Kubrick vibes. Possibly my favourite game on PS4, not going to lie.
Great rundown - can't wait to play this next week
I can finally shut up about this game. It's the only game I've talked about in the past year. Now everyone that has PS Plus will know why.
I thought it was Dave in the beginning!
I was going to play this game already. But when someone mentions house of leaves. Even just momentarily. You get my entire attention.
I don’t know why but this game just passed me by completely - one of those where I saw no PR leading up to the release and then a flurry of decent reviews but without understanding the game’s premise I just moved on. Then it got loads of awards which confused me further. Seeing it on PS+ this month, and watching this vid - I’ll definitely be checking it out
Whow, I thought about House of Leaves when playing this game as well! How nice seeing that reference here
"Control, Anatomy, and the Legacy of the Haunted House" is an awesome vid, check it out.
While I haven’t played Control I’ve genuinely been excited to, so glad it’s coming to PS+ I definitely will be playing it soon!
I have never read as many content in a game as in Control. Great game
I've been wanting to play Control for a long time now, with it coming to PS + there are now no excuses, looking very forward to this !
I bloody love Control. Had a phenomenal experience.
One of the best access videos I’ve watched. Well done Ash
This game consumed me and mind during the first few months of the pandemic last month. I felt for months my life was apart of another world. I finally stopped playing it, after going through countless side missions even after beating. It’s very addicting.
I loved Control, it was so nice to explore a world that was new and weird. I wanted to read all the documents about the Altered items, Objects of Power and Altered World Events. The audio logs surrounding the mirror were so great, I loved that detail. Although with the release of the A.W.E DLC, I really wish Remedy would release Alan Wake on PlayStation, hopefully they'll do it when they release Alan Wake 2.
Playing the 'Threshold Kids' theme song was just evil, Ash... that "show" is one of the most creepy things, ever!
One of the creepiest things I’ve seen in a game.
Im so glad ive got this downloading rn cant wait to play it
Such a great game, really loved the lore and the gameplay is fun.
Looking forward to getting this on Tuesday it looks AWESOME
Cant wait to watch Threshold Kids again
Threshold Kids was easily the freakiest thing about this game for me...ugh...lol
I dont understand the game that much but the game is so addictive to play.
Wow Ash, great video! I'm so excited to play it!
I'm so happy about this game!!! I missed it on ps now, i just started to play it and they removed it, now i can fully enjoy it !!! Awesome 👍
Reminds me so much of parasite eve in the ps1. Mostly the feeling as you walk through the different environments, how eerie and suspenseful it is. Weird mix of modern and scifi with a bio-something going around.
Ahhh Ash , that midlands accent brings me right home 💕awesome commentary
Just finished it a few days ago, can't say I understood what actually happened but I enjoyed the experience!
There were a few things I didn't love but overall a very refreshing game.
Such a memorable and mind blowing game, this developer is on another dimension!
The best thing about Control Ultimate Edition is that it's going to be free on PS+ in February and people like me that already bought the Deluxe Edition with everything in it will be able to have the free 40$ PS5 update. The game is a great one, but the publisher did a d*ck move to the loyal and early customer of the game. Thanks to Sony for making us able to get a real Free (with PS+) PS5 update of the game.
Cant wait to play this tomorrow!
I was expecting Rob ... surprise, surprise. This game is in my watch list, I love the art style.
Control was so damn good. It was an unexpected hit for me. I never thought I'd love it as much as I did.
One of my favourite platinum trophies! Can't wait to go through the DLC now and see how it all looks on the PS5!
I platinum games I enjoyed playing and this is one of them.
Never played it before so excited to get in February
Can't wait to jump into this next week. Glad I held out to play on PS5 with all the upgrades.
I already have and I loved the game, never got to the DLC though so I'm stoked that it's the Ultimate Edition
Well this video did exactly what it set out to do and I want to play Control asap
One of the best and most underrated games of 2019
The sound design on this game is phenomenal, brilliant game.
It's an amazing game indeed! totally worth it!
Downloaded this on Saturday as the free game on ps+ and have absolutely fell in love with it! Game is just perfection although mr Tomassi was unbelievably difficult 😅finally got there only two more trophies then I’ve got the plat 🙌🏻
"The scp foundation for inanimate objects"
There are inanimate scp's.
I can't wait to get it for Free. Feels good to be rewarded for waiting on something sometimes.
It's ash from whatculture yay . i do love hearing your voice and great review thanks i'll be downloading it today.
Best game remedy has made. Its a true masterpiece, I really loved it
I'll be playing it for the third time next week.
There she goes. It’s always a joy to catch the ghost of WC because we know baby got backlog.
a Must play
I just downloaded it! Cant wait to play it!
My boyfriend played this while I watched! This was so interesting and yet so weird and compelling!
I definitely going to replay this games on my new ps5 😁.
Love this game - just started on the new DLC packs
This looks like a AAA version of The Medium. Can't wait to play the PS5 version in a few days.
I love Control! It was my second platinum
Mine too
Bought this less than a month ago. Hardly played it yet but now its on PS+...GODDAMMIT!!
I complete between 30-50 video games every year and Control is the best game I've played from the last generation.
I haven't even watched this yet and I already agree.
Well you convinced me to try Control and today I got the platinum so thanks
If it's anything like Allan wake then I'm sure I'll love it
Dealing with the strange objects like the traffic light was fun.
Referencing House of Leaves - yup, you're my favourite
And I have played it already. But the dlcs will be great on PS 5
I'm so glad Ash is with Access now!!
So excited for this freebie!
Just downloaded. I'm so ready.
As someone who worked in a large government building for over a year, Control was a cathartic experience. I got the plat.
I'm excited to play it
Control is easily one of the weirdest, creepiest, unsettling and most disturbing games that I've played in recent memory and I've enjoyed every minute of it (for the most part). The map can be confusing to navigate and a lack of a checkpoint system can be frustrating for some people, especially in the last few missions. Other than those two issues, the game is phenomenal. The one singular moment of normalcy is at the very start of the game when you see civilians walking down the streets of New York and cars driving by. You start questioning everything from that moment onward once you step foot into The Oldest House. The game doesn't just infect one's brain, but it also warps one's way of thinking. I remember the first time that I saw bodies floating in mid-air. That in itself took the game's creep factor to a completely different level. The same can be said for the boss fight against a massive fridge, which meant that I had more questions than answers. One of the best, if not the best levels in Control is the Ashtray Maze. The song "Take Control", which is performed by Poets of the Fall, plays in the background while the level shifts and warps, amidst the chaos and anarchy. It's an amazing song that really sets the stage and tone for the Ashtray Maze level. The Service Weapon is the main weapon, but it has 6 firing methods (as long as you have enough resources and components in order to construct each one). It's a very neat concept to incorporate numerous firing weapons within the main weapon itself. Instead of utilizing traditional ammo pickups, the Service Weapon has a cool down period before it can be fired again. That completely alters the way in which gunplay is approached. The last thing that you want to do is be in a huge firefight without the ability to fire said Service Weapon. Control makes you change tactics on the fly so to speak because towards the end of the campaign, the game throws everything at the player. Things get rather hectic and chaotic to say the least. The various abilities are fun and satisfying to utilize. Sure, you can't completely level a building, but you can tear chunks of concrete and hurl it an enemies, which never gets old. I found Jesse Faden to be a very compelling main protagonist. The narrative itself is very interesting, intriguing, compelling and it's definitely worth the time and investment. Control wasn't just one of my favorite video game experiences from 2019, but it's also one of my favorite video games of all time. Otherwise, thanks for the wonderful, informative and enjoyable video. Thanks for covering this amazing game. Thanks to everyone at Playstation Access for their continued hard work. I really appreciate it. Keep it up!
My fourth platinum :-)
I can’t wait to go back and do the dlc!
Wonderful video about a game that looks awesome.
Well looks like I'm getting control, really I should've picked it up when it came out, really great video and script
A really good game🔥 Enjoyed it so much that it ended up becoming my first ever Platinum too.
Take CONTROL!!
When you get to the maze My absolute favourite part of the game
