    One of the best third person shooters I've played honestly. Even loved the plot and how "haunted objects" and even silly things like fast travel in the game are fit into the game's narrative/pseudo-science; didn't skip reading a single document!
    They even fit in Alan Wake's plot in to support Control's plot. That was an awesome Easter egg.

    watching this now after having finished the game (and both DLC) and most of what was mentioned in there i pretty much experienced the same. it really is a great game and whenever i played a session i had to actually get myself off of the game in order to not finish it too quickly. and even when it was done i wanted more to do and explore.
    i don't get "hooked" to a game very often but that is one of those games.

    I fell in love with this game and am hoping to see some sequels. Definitely potential for a trilogy at least. I finally got my platinum trophy for it about a month ago and still come back to this game. Practically always on sale and worth the buy in my opinion, especially for those who missed the free giveaway.

    Grabbed this game when it was free on Epic Games but never ended up playing it until now... Right during my End Semester Exams... And my god I couldn't keep it down. It was so good to the point that I didn't even play Valorant for days which I played everyday. It really has this uneasy, mysterious feeling and a very unique way of telling the story. If you just watch the cutscenes then you still might understand the game, but going through the documents and the multimedia really gives you a whole new perspective and understanding of the world of Control. I tend to be a person who reads almost all these kinds of documents even though it feels tedious as hell. But I really enjoyed reading and watching those here. And the mix of live-action is really a nice touch. I really good game that I look forward to completing even more and optimistically hope for a sequel.
    A first for me playing a Remedy game... But man was it a great one to start with.

  • @nastybedazzler
    @nastybedazzler 4 роки тому +155

    I'm toward the end of this game now and it's pretty goddamned awesome. It took a few hours of play for me to get out of FPS mode since that's mostly what I've been playing, but once I got used to the game I found myself enjoying it more and more until finally I'm thinking to myself "this game fucking rules". It's so bizarre and so different from most games I've played, and like the reviewer said, this isn't exactly a horror game but it makes me more nervous and stressed out than normally what I'm comfortable with in a game and yet I can't stop playing it. The tension hardly ever lets up, EVER. I can go like five hour stretches of playing (I'm doing all the side missions I find as well so it's taking a pretty long time) and never feel comfortable once. Most games I would avoid like that like Resident Evil 2-- my life is stressful enough lol-- but this one I just can't let myself stop playing. Nothing against those games, I'm just sitting alone in a house in the woods and usually only play at night after a stressful day, I don't feel like sitting down and then getting horrified for hours after work lol.
    If you're on the fence about giving this a try, I'd say if the game even interests you at all and this kind of game you can see yourself enjoying, there's no way in fuck you won't love this. If you're not big into third person, metroidvania type games then who can say, but everything is so polished and well executed, the story is beautifully done and so creative and original, the live action cut-scenes are very well executed and sometimes very unsettling (puppet show... what the fuck man).... I find it hard to believe there's not something here for anyone to appreciate... but again, assuming that this kind of game is your type of thing. If not, who knows.
    Just want to reiterate... this game really creeps me out sometimes for absolutely no reason. It's got this vibe that gets under your skin and you can't shake this weird uneasy feeling, it's difficult to explain until you experience it yourself. It's mostly accomplished with just atmosphere,--the gore is minimal (if at all really) and the violence is pretty straight forward and tame. The game radiates with this tension that fucks with your subconscious and makes you uncomfortable without even realizing it's happening.

    Control is not only our Game of the Year for 2019 but also stands out as one of the most original adventures of the generation. It is an outstanding third-person shooter with a surreal supernatural twist. Some of the most exciting and frantic telekinetic fighting ever captured on pixels is provided by Remedy Entertainment. In addition to its fantastic use of superpowers, Control has some incredibly creative environmental design, with its Oldest House resembling a shape-shifting maze straight out of a fever dream shared by Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch. You'll complete interesting side quests, look for improvements to your skills and equipment, and seek out a plethora of collectibles while exploring Control's monster-filled corridors. These activities all contribute to the spooky bureaucracy that is at the core of Control's improbably unique experience.
