    Красивейший визуальный стиль в связке с бодрым и экшоновым геймплеем. Сейчас уже никто так не делает.

    Graphics are amazing. Atmosphere is very successful. Game-play is very good and you enjoyed. But the story is too complicated. You need to collect all items in the game. If you don't you will miss something. Boss wars are very bad. They are just normal soldiers with more health.They put real and best bosses in the side-missions.

    Um jogo dificil de se analisar...

    Como um fan dos jogos de Remedy - principalmente Quantum Break, eu estava deveras ansioso por esse game.

    Como um fan dos jogos de Remedy - principalmente Quantum Break, eu estava deveras ansioso por esse game. Sendo assim, as expectativas estavam lá no alto, o problema é que o jogo nem se que atende pontos extritamentes necessarios para um game que se prese funcionar: Gameplay, storytelling e otimização.

    A gameplay é divertida a principio. Os poderes, junto com as armas e seu poder de fogo - tanto nos inimigos quanto no cenario, são absurdos. Chega a ser satisfatorio destruir tudo a sua frente. O jogo conta com uma fasica avançadissima. Provavel que seja a melhor atualmente. Enfim, voltando ao ponto... Nas ultimas horas de jogo, simplesmente perde a graça. Tudo se torna muito repetitivo, e o jogo, como um todo, me parece desequilibrado. Há armas muito superiores a outras já existentes, inutilizando o resto. A mesma coisa acontece com os inimigos. Fora que o jogo simplesmente não sabe quando acabar. Com uma gameplay dessa, deviamos passar, no maximo, 8h de gameplay na campanha principal.

    Os graficos são lindissimos. A iluninação é surreal e a fisica, junto com as particulas de destruição, são de deixar de boca aberta. Porém, a otimização é porquissima. Numa RTX 2060, consegui 60fps estaveis quase todo o jogo, mas em momentos de estresse, chegava a cair pra 45/50 no DX12 - que apresenta um problema chatissimo de stuttering, que por sorte, não me incomodou tanto ao passar do jogo. No DX 11, tinhamos menos uso de RAM, VRAM e mais FPS. O problema é que, na minha maquina, apresentava um bug quando eu minimizava o jogo. Simplesmente havia quedas para 30 fps.

    A historia é uma completa icognita. Não acho que seja ruim. Na realidade, acho que antes devo entendê-la a julgar antes, o problema é que o storytelling do jogo é confuso e indeciso. Eu simplesmente não peguei mais de 20% da historia do game - sendo otimista. Há MUITOS arquivos, e como eu não tenho tempo pra ler por conta dos estudos, fiquei a parte dessa camada do jogo. E, se esses arquivos explicam a historia, alguem explica pra REMEDY que textos são para informações adicionais, e não pra historia principal...

    Por fim, é jogavel e vale a pena a compra numa promoção, muito por conta dos graficos apenas.    … Expand

I'd recommend playing for the atmosphere alone, which is sublime.
    That said, I didn't like the difficulty curve - basic grunts and mobs are very easy to take out, but named enemies can deal surprising amounts of damage very quickly if you're not careful whilst having a huge health pool themselves. The game also lacks a New Game+ mode - it'd be great going back and revisit some of the missions without worry about getting your gear and upgrades again (and starting a new game == clearing out the save file). The final ending is also a wee bit lacking, with the last boss being somewhat uninteresting and not really giving too much closure (yes, I understand there are DLCs already made and planned and you can kee pon playing after the end but still).
    Still, it's hard to hate the game when so much care had been put into making the game world feel almost life-like in visual presentation. It... probably won't age well (photorealistic visuals tend to age poorly), but right now? On a 2070 Super with RTX and DLSS this thing rocks.    … Expand

    I liked the game, in general it’s hard for me to please, as I have been playing games for several years, but this game was able to impress me. Good graphics, good shooting and combat. Great sound and visual effects. At the moment, there are a sufficient number of bugs, but in the near future they are likely to be removed.

    Starting things off with one of the most relevant aspects of this game. Is the RTX worth it? Definitely. However, using an RTX 2060, I was only able to enable RTX by using NVIDIA DLSS which forced a resolution of 720p. RTX is expensive AF, but its beautiful. Moreover, there were moments during the game that got me to go "WOW".

    The gameplay is also very satisfying. During the game I never thought that the gameplay was repetitive because of how fun it is. Jesse's abilities are just cool. Throwing objects around at enemies is always a lot of fun and the visual feedback is really good. After a fight you can see all the destruction you caused.

    The lore surrounding the Bureau and the Oldest House is cool. However, I feel like the story is lacking in a lot of aspects. I couldn't relate to any character and the ending feels rushed and very confusing. The environment could be more varied given the setting. The only unique environment is the Maze. The game would improve a lot if it had more environments like that.    … Expand

    I don't usually go for this type of game, but something about Control sparked my interest enough to give it a try. It looked unusual and unique, with an interesting premise. That's exactly what my experience ended up being, and it was enough to keep me engaged from start to finish. Not a perfect 10 in my book, but a solid 8, making it a good game.

I absolutely loved all the collectables and the way that they really developed the backstory or at least some of the history of the federal bureau of control. My only complaint is that all in all the battles are not all that challenging. Some of the bigger boss fights were a little tuff but all in all not all that hard.… Expand

    Control (PC) was an enjoyable experience for me. I liked the story, although the narrative feels a bit glued over. It was fun to play around with different armaments and skills. There was a constant feeling of progression as the missions took me around the premises. The collection of materials and narrative extras didn't feel like a chore, but instead just happened by way of thorough exploration.

    Graphics are pretty, but this game is very GPU hungry. Soundscape is interesting: annoying and immersive at the same time. I ended up hoping for some more "real" music in the soundtrack.

    And at some point, when I stepped into Ashtray Maze with janitor's walk-man, I kept asking myself again and again: "Why the hell doesn't entire game look like this? This is just epic".
