    The Foundation wins in filling out the world of Control. The additional lore and answers about various facets of the Oldest House like Control Points and Power Boxes is exactly what I want from Control. That was what pushed me forward, deeper and deeper into the DLC. Of the two major new powers, Shape makes you feel like the superhero you are, while Fracture is a pretty boring addition. I just wish those powers could be brought back into the base game, for further new combat or exploration opportunities within the Oldest House. If the world of Control is your thing, the Foundation delivers.

    A satisfying new chapter that develops the story of 'Control' but doesn't add much to the playground.

The story isn't super compelling, the game mechanics aren't special, and all-in-all it's not much to write home about. It's a good single-player experience to pick up if you're waiting for next year's batch to come out though. I enjoy the face-capture graphics and I enjoyed Warehouse 13, so the story was familiar.

    Go play Outer Wilds for a really unique experience first.    … Full Review »

You will ONLY have finished the main game if you have gone through the credits TWICE. That's not a spoiler. The Foundation is not as mad as the main game; the story and objectives are pretty clear, if deliberately repetitive, and the level design is bigger and more open than the main game. Game mechanics and play are almost identical and its not difficult - there are always places to take cover and this DLC feels more fluid and faster to play. Due on Steam with main game in August 2020. I've never been bothered about non-Steam exclusives. If you want to play a game, just get it irrespective of platform.… Full Review »
