    This game is a masterpiece. It feels good to play, looks absolutely gorgeous and runs like a dream. The setting and story are similarly top tier, and I would have to dig deep to fault CONTROL: Ultimate Edition. It hasn't won a boatload of awards for nothing.

    Control: Ultimate Edition is a complete package of everything you could want from Remedy's instant classic - but a bit of narrative vagueness and overall lack of variety hold it back from perfection.

    Whether you’re a current owner of the original or thinking of getting the complete edition, these new chapters are superb. The new gun modes are great, the story content is fascinating, and the sheer beauty of the animation and environments of Control still shine.

    Control Ultimate Edition is a great title, especially since the DLC adds more enemies and gameplay mechanics into the mix. If you rush, the complete bundle will take you about 18 hours to complete, but if you take your time and explore and complete side-quests, you'll take at least 25 hours, which is quite meaty for a game of this caliber. If you have yet to experience Control, Ultimate Edition is the best way to do so on the PC. The combat is tight, over the top, and satisfying. The premise is so good that you want to dive deeper, but it doesn't always come together. While it's a great game to play, Control could have been an even stronger experience, and that takes away some of its thunder.

    The Ultimate Edition comes packaged with both DLCs – The Foundation and AWE – which add whole new sections to explore and much more story to uncover, as well as include a very cool crossover with Alan Wake. They do mostly stick to the same formula, sadly, with AWE throwing in a couple of new light-based elements I would have liked to have seen more of, especially in combat(!), but once again both of them managed to compel me all the way through; mostly out of sheer curiosity and love of the world and its enigmas. I would really like to see more of this universe in the future and I think Remedy could get super creative with regards to upping the ante around the action. There’s the potential for a total game changer here and, after all, there are plenty more doors to discover in the Motel *wink wink*.

    Control's combat is repetitive, yet very enjoyable; the story is a mess, yet somehow manages to keep you want to learn more; the graphic engine needs plenty of work, yet the visuals are fantastic. Fascinating masterpiece and disappointing mediocrity, and almost at equal measures, Remedy Entertainment's bizarre piece of software isn't a solid recommendation, yet it remains a one of a kind experience.

The main thing going for the game is the story and the lore,Control is an FPS game with repetitive gameplay and a really bad upgrade system. The main thing going for the game is the story and the lore, which is somewhat interesting. Its world is like a very-neutered and mild version of the SCP Foundation (which is probably too shocking to be published as a AAA game). The artwork in the game is absolutely amazing, but it can't make up for the repetitive gameplay. By mid-game, all you'll be doing is spamming launch over and over again to kill enemies. The 2 DLCs are more of the same.

    You're better off just reading the amazing horror/sci-fi stories on the SCP Foundation website.

    I do appreciate that you can customize the difficulty because some of the bosses were insanely difficult during the original release.    … Expand

    This game had potential with its setting and story but the acting in the game feels forced. The character models reminded me of Mass Effect:This game had potential with its setting and story but the acting in the game feels forced. The character models reminded me of Mass Effect: Andromeda and the enemies are repetitive and boring. However, the psychic abilities you have make the gameplay and combat a lot more exciting. Personally, I'd advise the game to be bought on special.… Expand
