    Excellent game, good story although it is easy to get lost on the map and not achieve the objectives easily, after finishing the game I did not want to continue doing the secondary missions because I got bored

    I am very confused by the praise this game seems to get. Frankly, after a few hours of play I found it incoherent, dull and unremarkable. I played to the end it peaked about 2/3rd of the way through (dimensional research), then it just ended. Even with an RTX 3080, I'm finding the graphics dull as well, it's mostly a concrete building with some flashes of red from time to time.

Sometimes the red obscures the screen making it impossible to see. The enemies are repetitive, as is the gunplay. For the first few hours I had no chance to engage with the main character or plot. Since it is so weird and none of it has been explained, it means that most of it means nothing and gets ignored as nonsense, it didn't get much better. An utterly overrated game.… Expand

    The game opens up quite unusually, there's no fanfare, it just starts and off you go. From there you're mostly on your own in discovering mind bending and mysterious world that lies behind the exterior of the Oldest House.
    During the game you acquire certain paranormal powers that feel cool to use and aid you greatly in the combat. Speaking of combat, it feels old schoolish compared to other modern AAA 3rd person shooters, with there being no hand holding, no cover system, you have fast draining health pool that doesnt auto-regenerate and there's 1 universal difficulty which can be quite challenging even after getting grips with it, and i respect that.
    And what would be a Remedy game without solid shooting mechanics. Gunplay in Control was satisfying, with the more traditional forms of the Service Weapon like Grip and Shatter feeling weighty and mechanical. They also sounded really darn well too, especially the Shatter form which had a proper kick to it.
    I need to applaud to Remedy for pushing for highly phyisics driven world interactivity, seeing physics driven destruction was so refreshing in a modern game, because so many developers either have abbandoned it or simply lack the know-how these days in how to pull it off.
    However one problem regarding weapons and gameplay is that you can only equip 2 weapon forms at once, if you want to change, you have to go into the inventory every single time to equip a different one, and it's just annoying, having them all available at a push of a key or mouse scroll would've been so much more intuitive.
    And the mod system that exists for both weapons and powers is kind of a mess too, because the game bombards you with new mods all the bloody time, and with there being a conservative limit to how much you can carry, it makes micro management nigh infuriating.
    The non-linear nature of the game also can eventually become exhausting due to backtracking. I try to avoid fast travelling in games, however in Control, in a few instances fast travel was the only way to exit an area for some reason.
    Jesse's outfit selection also felt rather dull, even more so the optional outfits, only her director's outfit had some personality.

    Narrative in Control gave me fairly mixed sensations.
    The world, lore and setting the game introduces are very interesting, i read, listened, watched every piece of collectible i found, as the Bureau, it's history, mysterious elements and operations are really fascinating. The urge to find out and solve what has gone so wrong at the place is strong.
    Former director Trench and Dr. Darling in my opinion steal the show and kind of overshadow even Jesse herself, even though they dont appear in flesh in the game, they're that well written and performed.
    And here lies one of the main issues i had with the story, none of the characters that Jesse actually encounters in flesh are that compelling really, apart from the finnish janitor Ahti, who doesnt appear that much in the game, but there's just something about him.
    Speaking of Jesse as a protagonist, she also didnt impress me that much. The charisma and charm of the previous Remedy's protagonists just isnt there. Beyond Jesse's ''gift'', there's just kind of a unremarkable and quite frankly bland persona. If they wanted to subvert expectations with the ''average girl from the street'', then i'm afraid Remedy over achieved.
    And i just dont understand why Jesse swears so much, it feels so forced, like the worst kind of millenial writing that tries too hard to come off as mature, but comes off as juvenile instead, i simply refuse to believe that it's Sam Lake's touch, though even if it isnt, shame on him for allowing it to happen. Same can be said about other characters swearing, it just reeks of cheap writing, not Remedy pedigree. I'm not against strong language in games, however there's the right, mature way to do it, and the cheap, juvenile way.
    The final main story quest fell flat aswell for me, i expected something much more after all the build up surrounding the game's main threat, instead what i got was a feeling "For real, is that really it?". Now to be honest, that kind of a finale isnt really something new in a Remedy game, but it was handled so much better in Alan Wake.
    And the Bureau alerts popping up all the damn time during central or side quests was a dumb design choice aswell.

    There were also some inconsistencies that made me curious, despite the game showing Bureau as this ''Old Boys Club'' run by old men, the FBC's elite armed force ''Rangers'' has both men and women in their ranks, but ranger in-game models are all male, it's baffling to hear women's voices coming out of male bodies.
    Aswell as, despite seeing FBC having a gender diverse workforce across it's various sectors, departments and ranks, all the dead bodies in the game are only men.    … Expand

A good part of the combat mechanics are innovative and well executed, but it lacks a little polish and optimization in the same department. Main Questline goes for about 14 or 15 hours give or take your difficulty level, is a good experience at full price an even better one if you purchase this on any kind of sale. Hopefully Remedy will take in all the feedback and make a much more Optimized and Balanced experience in the Sure to Be Sequel to CONTROL.

    The Good
    Jesse grew on me through out the game. Being privy to her thoughts really endeared me to her and although it is not a new aspect from a character development perspective it is well executed and works to the game's overall experience. The weirdness of the story really vibes in tandem with her character and the backstory given to Jesse. Campaign Length is just right since it is pretty much a one track story and does not over stay its welcome with padding and or artificial stretching.

    Combat mechanics were really fun Launch and Levitate are the primary ones you will use the most and everything about it from the animation to the utility of it is very satisfying. The guns though not the most versatile helps fill the gap of the ability cool-downs and add a little variety throughout the game. The Ability Tree and Mod Systems also help give you an extra edge during combat, not a whole lot in the case of the Ability Tree but the Mod Systems really enhance the experience.

    The Bad
    A lot of optimization and finesse was needed to make this game reach the Legendary status it really deserves. The Ability Tree for starters needed a good bit of tweaking since other than Launch and Shield ability almost everything else is near pointless; Life Bar, Ability Bar, Melee Combat is barely effective even after maximizing and Modding them.
    Couple this with unbalanced and jarring difficulty spikes the game will really drive you on edge, add in a little bit of imbalanced save points to the mix and this game's novelty and refreshing nature drains itself out of you real quick at times.

    Even the Mod Systems seems so restricted in comparison to all the Mods you receive during you playthrough for both your guns and abilities. At least 4 or 5 slots each would really do wonders to the experience especially for your Abilities since the guns are rendered ineffective in lot of firefights once you pass the 3 to 4 hour mark.
    You have to really learn quick that Launch ability is your Primary Weapon over the actual Primary/Secondary Weapons that you equip, I spent an ungodly amount of time on the Salvador fight since by that time I had not yet figured out that the game wants you to use Launch more than your guns and not the other way around.

    All in all even with it's faults the game is greater than the sum of it's parts and the experience on a whole is quite satisfying. But the game really borders on making it near impossible to overlook all of it's flaws. And hopefully Remedy will take in all the feedback and make a much more Optimized and Balanced experience in the Sure to Be Sequel to CONTROL.    … Expand

    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

    Camera/FOV has issues, interacting with objects is bad, menus aren't well implemented for PC.

    The hitboxes aren't great. And the enemies are pretty dumb. They don't shoot at you much of the time, but then you randomly take a fatal or near-fatal hit from an often unknown enemy/source.

    The three issues of menus, object interaction, and hitboxes all seem to be due to the game being designed for consoles, including things like auto aim.

    They purposefully added flickering (game effects, and menu flashes white to black), which is just horribly unpleasant. The dynamic lighting transitions are bad. Global Reflections have issues, and are better turned off. The Ray Tracing stuff is super overhyped. It's largely preference yet a huge FPS demand.

    Objectives can often be extremely obscure/esoteric. And navigation needs improvement. It's so bad to the point where I just ignored a number of missions because I'm not just going to wander around aimlessly trying to find the objective. And you can't get them while doing other things – you're either locked out from the areas, or the thing doesn't exist till you get the mission, and they're given once you've already cleared the huge area, so you'd essentially have to go look through the whole thing again.

    There are way too many item pickups that you constantly have to open your menu and compare stats. Much fewer pickups with greater differences between them would be vastly better.

    Not a fan of how they made things that would typically be passive achievements in other games into a mission system. It seems too grindy and ruins immersion.

    The other guns you get have some nice ideas/uniqueness but they're fairly useless and rarely better than the default pistol.

    The progression seems poor and I would highly recommend using a trainer to progress much faster and start enjoying what the game has to offer much sooner.

    Really abrupt ending. There were multiple other missions available, various areas still untraversed, and no particular clue that this mission would end the game. With the DLCs/Ultimate Edition it feels a little more complete.    … Expand

    -Very interesting story, especially if you're into paranormal stories.
    -Amazing combat system. Combinations, powers, modes and everything ties in so well with itself.
    -RTX grapichs make this game a dream-mode.. okay maybe not that far, but it's SUPER amazing seeing RTX do its thing and this game does that system justice!
    -Voice acting for Jessie when she's speaking to other characters seems bland, but is, on the other hand, very lively when speaking with Polaris.
    -Photomode

    CONs:
    -Repetitive gameplay, while the story does a good job of driving you forward, the enemies you encounter does get a bit bland as you progress, but never truly reaches the point of being obsolete.

    Conclusion:
    Control is absolutely a game I'd recommend, especially if you wanna see what RTX can do. With it's paranormal story and progression it leaves you curious for more, but never leaves you feeling like you can't take a slight detour here and there to see what else is shaking in The Oldest House. The combat system is really amazing and solid. And if you so desire, there's different challenges you can undertake with the jukebox.
    I have yet to encounter any serious bugs or glitches. only memorable one was when Jessie got cockeyed... I laughed.    … Expand

El sonido está muy bien en todos sus aspectos. Y, al menos en mi recorrido, solo he encontrado bugs menores.

The map is awful as it doesn't change according to what level you are on. You can't zoom in or out. (Also why the hell would they put the map on the directional pad UP button?! Never got used to it.) The enemy variety is a bit lacking and a lot of environments feel the same. Ultimately if you like paranormal/sci-fi story-driven games, you should give this a try. The atmosphere is great.

From the beginning, you connect with the main character and despite all is confused, you accept this new reality. The main story is short and there are not impressive bosses to defeat. There are few weapons and abilities and the enemies are very repetitive that in some points it gets tedious.

    Atrocious map that is largely useless when you are talking about 3d levels and finding your way to some hidden places, very easy to get lost in this endless office space. This is a story about black magic used by organizations for control or slavery of mankind. The so called checkpoints if you notice are just black magic circles except technological but tech worship and satanism are two sides of a single coin really. See all sorts of government programs, military, police forces like the FBI, social revolution etc and you will see this sort of black magic performed publicly with tech and its army of jargonists with degrees, in it's deepest you will have real satanism on kabbalistic lines. This just attempts to bamboozle people into thinking, hey it's funny and weird so it must be good, nonsense. Software like this is mind control programming.

    Annoying mumbling type of narration and the lead character is sjw to the core, as a christian it's also pretty offensive using the Lords name as a swear word but we live in "modern" wink wink times of the cursed ones dominance, the kabbalists. Get this at a 100% discount. Speaking to that Remedy obviously has writers who are kabbalists and who are into the whole mkultra monarch mind control(which is alan wake's condition btw, probably based on the real stephen king, not his real name btw) that is based on it, among other terrible things.

    It's good for a playthrough but gets kinda boring tbh, the two dlcs are nothing different, same stuff just more of it. No replay ability. I thought the Fra Mauro reference was apt, this was mentioned in the "something happened on the way to the moon" by a toothy brit-commie woman who was part of long range agitation in the perestroika deception phase of the other major kabbalistic pillar of communism vs. central banksterism/monopoly megacorps. The synthesis of the two by the evil people of antichrist. She mentions a supposed monk, Fra Mauro, who supposedly sat in a cell and drew a map of the "real" world which seems to be close to what they present us with as an accurate "map" today, subtle messaging indeed. In game this accompanies a lunar lander film set, again subtle indeed lol There is a remedy for remedy games.    … Expand

    I feel as if the story is good in concept but bad in execution. Believe me it is a cool concept fighting a entity that comes out of nowhere that could end the world, but I feel as if the story is just boring and confusing. First you are thrown into the story without any background information. One of the reasons for the confusion is that the game reveals the story through time, which I think is cool but, I feel as if you are doing nothing some of the time and then all the sudden have to fight a boss or go on some extremely long quest to get something done, when so story can be revealed instead through cutscenes or shorter quests instead of long ass tasks that can take sometimes 2-3 hours each. 2 The gameplay It is very cool but can be bogged down by the fact that it is so repetitive. One example of this is the combat. Cool at the start of the game, but extremely boring at the end. I have played through most of the story and I can say that fighting at the end of the game is what can I throw at them that does the most damage. This is the case because at the end the gun you have is complete garbage (the base mode at least) without damage upgrades. It can take up to 4-7 clips to put down one single enemy (even with the Max damage upgrade) which I think is unacceptable. Also the missions are vague as hell. It could tell you to go in one room and then the objective be in a other room. I understand if they wanted to promote exploration of your surroundings but come on I have spent probably three hours just looking for things that could be marked with a beacon or some tracker instead of just telling what room it is in. The quests especially the side quests are one of the most repetitive things in this game. I wouldn’t even recommend to do the side quests unless they give you new abilities, Because they usually give ass rewards for doing something that could take up to an hour. The side quest especially Aties usually involve you going to the opposite side of the map to clean up something or kill enemies. The main quest are ok but I think they could be shorter and split up into smaller quests. Considering that they can take up to hours at a time. In conclusion I think the schemes gameplay is cool and innovative but it’s held back but it’s repetitive gameplay, Bath level design, and the quests feeling like they are too long or useless.

    3 The enemies

    I think the enemies that you fight are cool but I will say again that it is repetitive as hell. Some of the enemies that you encounter especially at later stages in the game can have insane amounts of health and like I said earlier during the end of the game it feels like you just have to throw things at them to even do any damage considering your gun can be almost useless against them especially if they have a Shield . Also I hate it when randomly enemies will Spawn and when I’m just trying to do a mission and have to kill them instead of just progressing. 4 Map design I want to say that the map design in this game is probably one of the most confusing things I’ve ever encountered in a video game. Like I said earlier it is too confusing to simply go somewhere because it is usually blocked off and you have to find some out of the way area to get even passed. Also I think the quests markers are probably one of those **** things in this game it can tell you that it will be in one room but be in a completely different one. In conclusion the map design tries to make us think outside the box to solve solutions but I think that it hinders the gameplay and instead of doing it any good. 5 Conclusion In conclusion I feel that this game could be one of the greatest games of all time if they fixed the map design, the repetitive gameplay and The overall boringness of the story.    … Expand

    На первый взгляд кажется, что всё происходящее в игре, - бред сумасшедшего (и в какой-то степени эти люди будут правы, ведь многие гении немного поехавшие :)))) ), но когда ты должным образом во всё разберёшься, ты будешь поражён невероятной проработанностью этого мира, связующего во едино многие игры remedy. Правда способ познания тайн в этой игре очень субъективный. Большинство информации находится в записках, которые большей части игроков просто не будут интересны (+ в игре нет русской озвучки, что утомляет игрока постоянно читать субтитры и тексты). Да даже когда ты их прочитаешь, то фиг ты сможешь собрать всё единою картину самостоятельно (я сам воспользовался Ютубом и мягко говоря афигел от всего этого).
    Но про лор и историю мне говорить незачем, если хотите можете сами поиграть или посмотреть разборы на Ютубе (Likoris отлично всё расставил по полочкам).
    Что касательно геймплея, то я полностью удовлетворён. Боёвка простая и ненадоедающая, но тут главное другое. Практически полная разрушаемость в кооперативе с достаточно хорошей оптимизацией (моя 1660s тянет на предмаксималках в 1080p и примерно 60fps) раскрашивают геймплей в совершенно новые оттенки (в прямом и переносном смысле). Ох, как же весело было убивать этих дурачков, попутно разрушая всё на своём пути.

    В общем и целом, если вам интересны игры Remedy и запутанный, сложный сюжет с интересным лором и историй, то вам однозначно сюда. Если же вы больше предпочитаете ПИУ ПИУ, то решайте сами.    … Expand

    A very interesting world built here. A world built entirely in one singular building. This game was always interesting. The gameplay was very interesting and the narrative kept me interested. This has fun gameplay with special powers and fun guns. I definitely see my self coming back for a second playthrough down the road.

    Lo malo: Coleccionables excesivos y aburridos, jugabilidad algo repetitiva, poca rejugabilidad y una historia que aunque interesante, algo confusa y obtusa.

    The story is intruiging, unsettling and is an effective vehicle for pushing the player toward the core gameplay which consists of stellar exploration and combat. You are rewarded for investigating every nook and cranny with secret ability points, mod upgrades and lore-building media.

    Abilities and gunplay are simple but highly polished and allow for a variety of playstyles which keeps things fresh for 30-40 hours of high-action gameplay. One particular achievement is in the physics - impacts, explosions and projectiles are fantastically 'weighted' and are exceptionally satisfying .

    Sound accompanies the tight gameplay with an equally satisfying feeling and although the score/soundtrack is quite subdued, it picks up in key moments with great effect - such as the wonderful ashtray maze.

    Finally, the visuals. This is one of the very few games where I have been compelled to use the photo mode. The brutalist architecture and Kubrick-esque geometry is highly evocative and frequently jaw-dropping.

    If you are a fan of action games this is one you should not miss. Simply brilliant.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Woke game with a few interesting mechanics and some lore.
    As a game developer, I'm glad to see that skills weren't as dumbed down as in the most of the games, and they allow some interesting interactions, overall they fill pretty organic and fluid in the battle.
    Shooting feels heavily impaired, even with a few variations of the gun. Mods are simply boring and not powerful enough at any level. I mean, realism is great, but I've rarely seen situations where I'd use anything but sniper mode for long-range targets, everything else dies much faster from the skills.
    Writing is disappointing, to say the least. It's some "young-adult novel" level mixed with fanfic about SCP foundation. Epilogue is really empty.
    Replayability is non-existent, repetitive tasks are getting boring even during main campaign.

    Wokeness level is annoying. All positive characters are female, all antagonists(and looks like all enemies at all) are male. Guess who's dying in all side quests? You've guessed right.
    Overall I'm not disappointed about time spent, but I've played it only because it was free on Epic, to see skill mechanics.    … Expand

    Sound design was very unique, I think it really goes well with the mysterious vibe of the game. It's weird, creepy and pretty intense.

    The physics are very fun to play around with, throwing things around and watching the environmental destruction feels nice.

    Combat is very engaging, the abilities are fun to use, but a bit repetitive since enemies respawn at locations you already cleared, it becomes annoying after some time.

    In conclusion, Control should be played like it's a movie. To me it felt like that, a cinematic experience with good and fun gameplay.    … Expand

I'll go.............................................................. now..................................................." with more less every line of dialog)

    *A map that confuses people more then it helps... Check, and i know that I'm not the only one with this issue by a long shot, just google it.

    An audio-visual action banquet that will entertain you with physics and flirting with the supernatural. The story could have been better, the enemy line-up can be quite monotonous towards the end, but the great atmosphere overcomes these shortcomings. And most importantly, the gameplay is great.
