    I think this game is a little bit over rated. 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.

    First, and perhaps obviously, but you must have finished the main game to run this DLC. 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.… Expand

    Not bad DLC, but with problems.

    – The new location is good and beautiful, but they're very few original situations. Still an amazing design and visual aspect. – 2 new abilities are optional and not multifunctional tools, like other content. – However, in the DLC developers have created some fresh and addictive side-missions. I enjoyed it and had a great time during this expansion,    Not bad DLC, but with problems.

    I enjoyed it and had a great time during this expansion, but hope in the 2nd DLC we'll get some far more impressive.    … Expand

    Despite the fact that the entire DLC takes place in caves, which look a bit like the work of the developers of some indie game(probably due to the immortal blurring of the image in the Remedy games), I liked the game itself.

By the way, I really don't like it when in games authors make a very complex and/or difficult quest, the reward for which is some kind of banal useless crap.
    The rest, I really liked in this game. The atmosphere of some parts of the Foundation was especially remembered(this is about the altered TV, if you played the game).    … Expand

    The Foundation is an enjoyable follow-up to Control. There are new enemies and some unexpected twists in level design. The atmosphere is great with lots of mystery and tension. I definitely recommend if you enjoyed the base game.

    Pretty good DLC adds more to the story but gameplay is still the same and new abilities dont add much.

    Неплохое длс. Купил оба дополнения за 300. Рекомендую покупать только во время скидок, так как длс очень короткое, ее можно пройти за 3 часа. Это длс должна рассказать о прошлом Старейшего дома и справляется длс с этим некоторых местах не раскрыто.Неплохое длс. Купил оба дополнения за 300.

    Both DLCs are mainly there to shed more light on the fantastic world of the original game - and to act as promises of future games. You won’t have as much fun actually playing them, though, mainly due to the frustrating combat.

    For the most part I loved/am loving the expansion with the only issue I have being a pretty major one. At the point of writing this, I was quite happily playing along and have had the game crash twice, the first I was able to escape from by using a bit of Alt Tabbery… but the second time that would not release me from the game, no crash report, nothing. Control Alt Del did very little but by using the windows key I was able to bring up the start menu and though I couldn’t do much there I was able to restart the computer. I’m not currently keen to jump back in, preferring to wait to see if there’s a patch, but I would love to continue playing in the world of Control and that’s testament to the game world Remedy have created. If you share my love for the game world, the story, the whole feel for Control then I’m sure you will want to get The Foundation!

    The Foundation is a decent expansion to Control, as it gives us a reason to be Jesse Faden again, but it lacks something really new, fresh, challenging and spectacular to be considered as a memorable time.
