Without giving spoilers it has good replayability. Very well thought out DLC that balances new content with out sacrificing the feel of the game… Expand

   The Foundation is an excellent expansion. The Foundation itself is an exciting setting to be explored, is visually distinct from other levels and comparable in size and intricacy to them. The base plot continues the main game expertly, putting into question the affiliation of some characters and teasing what the second DLC or the sequel may be about. The Foundation holds its fair share of secrets, much like the rest of the Oldest House, so the expansion still retains the thick atmosphere of mystery and intrigue that I loved Control for. Gameplay-wise it's mostly more of the same, but a couple new enemy types and powers, as well as level 6 mods and new mod types are a welcome addition. Also, the cleansing of the video camera altered item is one of the best side missions in the entire game.
   
   The minor gripes also mostly remain the same as in the main game. It still stutters visibly when exiting the pause menu on the base PS4, and the frame rate drops occasionally during heavy firefights. Remedy fixed the map loading speed and tried to clean it up a bit, but because of complex vertical levels navigation using the flat 2D map can still be a nuisance. Also, the new power is limited in use to the Foundation area and pre-defined points on the arenas, which is a letdown, as it'd be more fun if the player was allowed to freely spawn the crystals wherever they'd point. Finally, you can spawn an FBC ranger to aid you in a few fixed points in the sector, which sounds cool, but the ranger fights VERY poorly, barely even firing his gun, which can get frustrating, as one of the new trophies is linked to the number of enemies such NPC has to kill.
   
   Still, Control was my GOTY 2019, and its first DLC is so far the best gaming experience I've had in 2020. Eagerly looking forward to AWE and the potential sequel.… Expand

   Played this DLC after completing the main game. It felt a little unnecessary. Probably better if played between the main chapters.

At the end of the whole DLC, you’ll be asking what was the point? And guess what, there wasn’t one, nothing gets accomplished, you feel even more cheated out of possible story. It acts like it’s supposed to explain who the Board and Former are but never does. And then tries to hint at a sequel! Oh please god no!
   
   What was weird with The Foundation was it truly felt like they called the voice actors in a few months later and didn’t give any direction. Jesse now sounds totally fake peppy and is trying to crack the weirdest jokes, not to mention the horrid objective exposition spew she does after you receive a mission. Jesse is so cringey in this DLC, constantly saying things like “I’m the Director.” or “I’m going to change how the Bureau runs.” What? First she doesn’t know how the Bureau runs to begin with, how can she make it better? And she also went from I’m better at being a janitor to of course I’m in charge? What? It was so unnatural and I really disliked her in this DLC.
   
   Gameplay, it’s still the same game except instead of endless office corridors you get endless cave corridors! Do not bother with this DLC, it has even less story wrap up than the actual game.… Expand
