    I have bought the Ultimate Edition from Steam after spending 20+ hours with my Epic store version last year. Unfortunately, they did not put enough time into Quality Assurance and the saves are not compatible at all with the other platform - even with a workaround (changing file names) the first mission of the AWE DLC is not being activated.

    Not only they blocked the way to sync saves between pc and xbox versions, bur now remedy went even further and made saves not compatible between PC and PC versions of the game. What would be your next move - make saves from odds days of the week, not playable on even? Remedy guys clearly have some kind of issues.

    This is probably the most visually stunning game I have ever played. The visual effects are remarkable and unique, and the art direction is stellar. That being said, both the story and gameplay are somewhat disappointing, with the former trying too hard to be edgy and serious, and the latter being poorly balanced with multiple difficulty spikes.

    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 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.

    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.
