    Our hero, Jesse Faden is an interesting, mature woman that wants to find her brother, Dylan and her quest takes her through the different areas of the Bureau in search of him while also helping a group of characters deal with many problems.

    There is a good mix of gameplay and some of the areas are locked until you find new access key cards and abilities to progress further, so there is plenty of back tracking to find new secrets and collectibles as well as hidden quests and bosses.

    Highly recommended game for players who want something different and enjoyable.    … Expand

    Я не знаю, чего я чувствую больше к этой игре: любви или ненависти!
    Игра невероятно атмосферная, в неё погружаешься с головой, из неё очень трудно выйти! К тому же, это одна из немногих игр в которых у меня выбита платина. Прошёл её трижды!!!
    Сюжет запутанный как "гордиев узел". С первого прохождения мало кто поймёт: "Что же здесь чёрт возьми происходит?"
    Боевая система просто на высоте, можно сказать одна из лучших в играх от Remedy.
    Система прокачки, опять таки, одна из лучших в шутерах с открытым миром!
    Но!!! Ноо!!! Нооооооо!!!!!
    Вся эта прелесть просто разбивается о техническое исполнение!!!
    Не одна из игр вышеупомянутой Remedy, не выглядела такой сырой и корявой.
    Как понятно из раздела в котором пишу, играл не на PC, где корявость можно было бы списать на слабое железо, кривые драйвера и прочую хрень, а на PlayStation 4. Конечно плойка сейчас не блещет железом, но можно же было за год и 12 вышедших патчей поправить как то эти косяки?
    Начну с оптимизации. Она ужасна. Если на экране 5 или более противников, привет 10 fps! В некоторых местах картинка просто останавливается на несколько секунд. Это 2020 год? Или я в 1993м, когда DooM шел с 10 fps и все были счастливы, а? При всём при этом игра выглядит даже хуже чем Quantum Break 2016 года!
    Загрузки. Ё моё они невероятно длинные. За этот год, на мой взгляд, они стали ещё длинней!
    Эти чёртовы лаги и фризы при заходе и выходе из меню, игра просто виснет на несколько секунд! Ужасно раздражает!
    Игра умудряется намертво зависать при загрузках уровней!
    Также совершенно не поправили задания, многие из них просто пропадают из меню взятых, после перезагрузки игры! Хорошо был опыт первых двух прохождений, поэтому на листке писал название и в какой области данное задание можно начать!!! Реально как в 1993 году ;-)).
    Но всё это пустяки, неприятные, но пустяки с которыми можно смириться. Самое поганое это РЕАКТИВНЫЕ СУБТИТРЫ! Я писал об этом год назад и здесь и Remedy. Но ничего не поменяли, 0,1-0,3 секунды на прочтение некоторых предложений. Этого слишком мало даже для дикторов тв! Хорошо я прошел игру несколько раз, но тем кто будет играть впервые не позавидуешь. И без того запутанный сюжет пролетит для них стороной, добро пожаловать в YouTube за разъяснениями!
    К счастью, энтузиасты из GamesVoice, обещали в 2021 году выпустить качественную озвучку. Не доверять им оснований нет! Так, что всем не игравшим, если такие есть, советую подождать локализации! К сожалению выхода её на PlayStation ожидать не приходится, но всё таки.
    К этому времени вышли два dlc, ничего особенно не добавляющие, но вполне играбельные. В последнем подтянули Алана Уэйка. Зачем я не понял, но он есть!
    Игра обязательна для прохождения всем поклонникам продукции Remedy!    … Expand

    The main Character's (jessie) abilities develop throughput the game in a great combination of mechanics and true advantages that feel so especial in that world, you want to use them all the time. In the end this is a game that stays with you once you turn it off. Definitely worth a higher score than what it has here. I guess many people want more action or more of a multitude of things. But this is a balance of game play, story & combat, . and for me it balances perfectly.
    The down sides are maybe a bit too much of her internal dialogues, and the complex and always cumbersome personal and weapons mods. And it is true, it does glitch a bit but nothing that is bothering and worth it of it is the price for all the details I each room.
    In the end I give it a 9,5 but will give it a 10 here to raise the score.

    My other favourite games are Last of Us, Inside, Legend of Zelda BOTW, Horizon Zero Dawn, & Celeste.    … Expand

    The text logs that you find spread across The Oldest House help create a very interesting fictional universe, *almost* to the point where I begin to question whether real world objects are actually as "dead" as they seem, or could they in fact have some connection to, say, alternate realities?

    Level design is incredible, art direction reminds a fair bit of the tv show LOST (in particular the parts about The Dharma Initiative), which is really not a bad thing. It has this old school science vibe which I find very cool. A lot of Jungian psychology and the like for those interested in that, as well as a huge pinch of mysticism.

    Graphics and animations are top notch, and my only criticism is that the game's environments sometimes get repetitive with its brutalist-styled architecture. It's really not bad but a bit more change of scenery every now and then could have mixed well with the theme of the game. There is, however, one excellent part of the game that stands out in this respect, but you'll see that when you play it..

    Since I'm half-Finnish I also have to praise the game for including Ahti, his tango music, accent and overall take on the world around him... whoever he is...

The combat is rather tough but rewarding once you get the hang of it's many mechanics and options. The story is fine with inspirations from the X-Files and Twilight Zone but characters are possibly the weakest part of the game but the style and aesthetics more then make up for with almost every frame looking like an abstract painting brought to life by a disturbed artist.

    Cons:
    - clunky map system and level design that isnt the easiest to follow
    -coulda used a bit more variety in the characters. You talk exclusively with the staff of the foundation, hopefully the dlc changes this up a bit.
    - coulda given us a bit more connection to Jesse, she was good but nothing earth shattering
    - hearing performance issues are a large concern with people, I ran on a standard ps4 with little to no issues myself but it def seems like a thing people are having

    Overall a very solid game. Remedy is really trying to push the envelope on how to tell stories in gaming evidenced by this and their quantum break tv show tie in.

    The whole game uses a metroidvania style, where you return to earlier zones, unlocking new parts of them. This is accomplished through security card levels and quests rather than items, but, it's still a good way of navigating the environment.

    The story itself is well told and more interesting than most games these days. It doesn't hold your hand and explain things. However, if you listen to the dialogue, and talk to the NPCs you'll piece it together. If you are really invested, there's plenty of additional material to find in the game and read.

If you enjoy novels like 'House of Leaves,' 'The Raw Shark Texts,' 'John Dies at the End,' or even just the Warehouse 13 show or X-Files, this game has that same sense that anything could happen, and there's so much of the unknown to discover.

    Combat was great for me. More difficult enemies appear as you go, and I think they set up the hardest content as the side mission bosses, which means you can skip the biggest challenges if you wanted to. That said, those are some really interesting fights, and it would be a shame to miss them. You can come back to them at any point with new abilities, weapon forms and mods to help.

    Control points were a lot more frequent than I expected given what I'd read in some reviews. That wasn't an issue for me at all. And I had no glitches playing on a ps4.

    Graphics are great, everything looks polished and beautiful, the attention to detail is superb. Only downside is after I press pause and want to continue playing the game again it freezes for a couple of seconds but doesn't crash, and there are some minor framedrops, but considering how vast the world is I'm ok with it.

    Sound is spot on, the characters are very well played, the ambient sounds makes it feel alive, voices are good, nothing bad to say about them.

    All in all I'm very satisfied with the game, I'm hoping for a part 2 for the ps5! Please make it happen!

    Thank you

    Really enjoyed this game. I found that it captured my interest very quickly when I started playing it; it then rapidly developed into a game I couldn't put down.

    The mechanics of the game start off fairly simple, and it does a great job of gradually drip feeding new tools and weapons throughout the game, such that you never feel overwhelmed or lost with all the different options.    Really enjoyed this game. I found that it captured my interest very quickly when I started playing it; it then rapidly developed into a game I couldn't put down.

    The mechanics of the game start off fairly simple, and it does a great job of gradually drip feeding new tools and weapons throughout the game, such that you never feel overwhelmed or lost with all the different options. However, before you know it, you'll have a range of different abilities and munitions in your arsenal ready to be unleashed. In particular, once you unlock the levitate ability, the combat system and overall gameplay becomes particularly exciting, unique and satisfying.

    The storyline and the world are absolutely fascinating. It has a really intriguing sci-fi mystery about it. No long cutscenes or huge documents to read, really supporting the immersion. I'm often bored with game storylines but found this truly captivating.

    I enjoyed the fact that your ammo "recharges" rather than needing to constantly scavenge for resources. This is a good example of where the developers have done a great job of removing certain boring or frustrating elements that you have in similar games and allowed you to just have fun with the gameplay. I did have one major frustration the fact that you lose 10% of your "source" (money) every time you die though. I felt like this really discourages risk-taking and experimentation, and means that some challenging boss fights, and the jukebox missions can end up being quite a frustration as you see your bankroll dwindling (I'd recommend the developers watch a TED talk called "The Super Mario Effect" to learn more about the negative psychology of such a mechanic!).

    The navigation was very tricky at times. I appreciate the fact that the developers perhaps don't want to ruin the immersion by putting huge markers into the game world, but the map is tough to follow and - from what I've seen of other reviews and comments online - I'm not the only person to feel like this.

    Overall, a really excellent game with fun gameplay, superb graphics (especially some of the close-ups during conversations) and a brilliant storyline.    … Expand

He had problems with the no difficulty setting and didn't even make it halfway through the game. He also didn't like the checkpoints were so far from where he died. I do feel like they should have remedied the situation for other types of players as it would have attracted a much broader audience.

    Just the first hours of this game blew me away. The visual style, the combat mechanics, the upgrade system and the characters just seem so interesting and connect very well. Courtney Hope's performance as Jesse has been great so far, even with the internal dialogue being a little overused, the Janitor is even more interesting (and funny). There's a great incentive for exploration and it's rewarding that we can find boxes with upgrade materials like Jedi Fallen Order. The environment is one of the best parts too, acting like that Doctor Strange scene where everything is upside down, added to the fact that it's very destructible, only thing that I wish I could do is climb walls or something like that. The combat makes a good balance between run n' gun and dodge/cover play-style, and since you have both the gun and your own innate abilities there will always be a variety of attacks you can do. The weapon modding is satisfying, it gives you 4 types of weapon fire rate plus upgrades and the personal modding utility is a nice addition as well. On the other side of the battle, the enemies are increasingly difficult and the variation is enough to keep testing your abilities. The puzzle parts of this game I didn’t expect, and so far I’ve had a hard time doing them but I like the dynamic - challenge that this creates. Last thing I wanted to talk about is cinematic and cut-scenes, Matthew Porretta, my man, you did one hell of a job. I’d usually skip through this parts but every one of them I have watched and seeing you were Game Awards Best Performance Nominee brings a smile to my face cause it’s well deserved. Props to James McCaffrey as well.

    The downsides for me have been: for one performance, I have a PS4 (not Pro) and there's been times were graphics will stutter, mostly in heavy action combat. The map design could use a scroll feature or something since I can't explore it efficiently at times. The save system is alright but I wish it could autosave more efficiently, I don’t appreciate having to do a combat 3 times because I died to a boss that happened 10 minutes after I did that combat.

    Overall this game gives me insane inFamous vibes, which is one of my favorites from the PS3 (Second Son didn't do justice to it). I can't wait to complete the game and both DLC's since I bought the Deluxe Edition. Great job Remedy!    … Expand

    Control is the combination of story-driven writing, profound and creative controls and abilities, and suspense that keeps you always up on your feet. I can argue that the game wasn't all so stable during my play-through, but the game always makes up for those mistakes with with groundbreaking visuals and eerie atmosphere.

    Jesse Faden, while not the most empathic character or most likable, manages to add more tension to the story than most of the characters. On the contrary, each character actually seems to show a personality that can add to the feeling that the world is very much lively when the entire world is just in one location. Another thing I love about the game is its groundbreaking visuals and thoughts. The ever-so shapeshifting location of the Oldest House and the corrupted properties of the Hiss can make you ever so much ponder of the world and how to traverse it. With collectables that you may want to read, this game is near perfect in how it looks and feels in my opinion.

    The next thing I like about Control is its combat. While the variety of your enemies does leaves us wanting more and most of the boss fights seemingly too easy, the difficulty cap in this game can vary and sometimes can leave you raging as you try to figure out what is your next move and what can you do better in the fight while you wait for the game to load back to the previous checkpoint. Throughout the game, you can unlock many abilities that can help you fight your opponents in the many different and creative ways you can. I personally like to fly and throw anything I can get onto my enemies' faces. If that doesn't work well, I could just switch to the defensive side, protect myself with my shield, and use the Service Weapon as my tool to getting damage off my enemies and grab the health they drop. Speaking of the SW, this thing is a blast to use and with the 5 forms that it can possess, it allows for many more forms of fighting to become plausible. However, because of how long this game is and fast you get your abilities and weapon forms, around the last 4 hours of the game can get predictable and probably, stale.

    Finally, the story here in Control is overall brooding and powerful. The characters help the story to also retain some kind of feeling, even if our main character, Jesse, is often talking to herself all the time just to say a few sentences and do one thing. The Hiss incorporates into the story in a big way but is often lacking, resulting in some of the story to lack some value in it. The Hiss is also not that formidable or scary, or basically, memorable of being antagonists but manages to be creepy and chilling in any moment of the game and the addition of Jesse's brother to represent them allows them to appear even more eerie and "spooky".

    Control is definitely WAY better than the developer's previous game, Quantum Break, and even I thought that was a pretty good game. With breathtaking visuals, great combat, and an eerie atmosphere and story, Control manages to bring the unthinkable and the impossible into life and in one of the best ways the video game industry is able to provide, now becoming one of, if not, my most favorite games of all time.

    This game is at its best when absurdist influences make their way in—corridors are twisting, night skies are appearing in the middle of a New York building, a light switch takes you to a motel that does/doesn’t/happens to exist. These are memorable and unique experiences that have caused me to recommend the game to several friends.

    And the gameplay is fun, with several different strategies you can take to complete the story in terms of how you want to upgrade your Jesse. To stick it in a nutshell, it’s an FPS, except you’re a Jedi. Come on, smile. I know you can. It’s fun.

    The story was a bit too long, however. It seemed like they ran out of material, so a few of the later main story chapters are just filler. In addition, the side quests are really great when you’re tracking down some crazy item that is going to present you with a unique and innovative puzzle you have to solve in order to capture it, but not as great when it’s as simple as ‘Find the pouches of this dude’s missing squad mates.’

    Finally, the game is pretty easy. If you stay on top of upgrading your skill tree, you’re going to be just fine, and if you do what I did and max out your Jedi powers as soon as you can, you’ll one-shot most enemies until the game is 70% through.

    All in all, I give it a 9/10, and I do declare it to be one of the most memorable gaming experiences I’ve had. Remedy.........well played.

    EDIT after completing all DLC: I raised my score from a 9 to a perfect 10, and I mean it. The absurdist writing and unique level constructions combined with fun combat and great ambience outweigh the slow middle of the story, which was my only complaint. Fabulous game.    … Expand

    В Control странно и нелогично абсолютно все: главная героиня, беседующая сама с собой чуть ли не чаще, чем с коллегами; едва намеченный сюжет, подающийся разрозненными обрывками; логика поведения персонажей, несмотря ни на что излучающих пофигизм; музыка, которая отсутствует там, где должна быть, и включается там, где не ждали. По причине какого-то бага при установке у меня криво загрузились шрифты, и я пребывал в полной уверенности, что квадратики вместо текста - это так и задумано. Первые пару часов игра просто-таки ПОДАВЛЯЛА своей общей странностью и тем самым, надо признать, дарила очень яркие и свежие впечатления (подпорченные, правда, пафосными псевдофилософскими монологами героини на грани сериального треша, которых лучше б не было вовсе). Со временем к местным особенностям как-то привыкаешь и шарм необъяснимости частично улетучивается, но остаются динамичные бои с применением сверхспособностей, живописная разрушаемость окружения и бесподобная мрачная визуальная составляющая в стиле архитектурного брутализма (близкого любимому мной конструктивизму).

    Control, таким образом, оказывается очень неоднозначным произведением. Даже если все вышеперечисленные странности отнести к плюсам, призванным нагнетать определённую атмосферу, то кто заставлял разработчиков прикручивать совершенно неуместную, ничем не оправданную систему сохранений "а-ля Dark Souls", так неудачно располагать чекпоинты и рисовать настолько плохо читаемую внутриигровую карту локаций? С другой стороны, никто также не заставлял их добавлять в саундтрек обворожительное финское танго, финских рокеров Poets of the Fall и под предлогом галюцинаций демонстрировать бесподобные пейзажи финских угодий.

    This game got a great world-building. I found the start a little bit rough because I did not understand everything. But that`s what makes the game so great, mysteries. You don`t understand everything and this is what makes it so special.

    The gameplay is pretty standard, nothing incredible. But the world, the story, and the side quests shine really well. I just want to find more lore every time.

Control hat seine ganz eigene Atmosphäre. Neben dem extrem gut balancierten Kampfmechaniken überzeugt vor allem das weirde World Building, das Control betreibt, in dem wir kleine Audio und Videoschnipsel, Textdokumente und optische Hinweise aufnehmen. Sich auf eine Location als Basis der Geschichte zu konzentrieren, innerhalb dieser aber so viel World Building zu betreiben, das scheint einerseits dem kleineren Budgets geschuldet zu sein, ist letztlich aber auch der Kniff, der Control so dicht und fesselnd macht. Das Spiel atmet nicht nur Remedy Action, sondern auch Remedy Atmosphäre. Da Control zudem eines der besten 3D Metroidvanias ist und mit weiteren DLCs nochmals ausgebaut wurde, macht das Spiel zu einem der besten Action Titel der PS4 Ära. Unterdessen arbeitet Remedy an einem Nachfolger. Man darf gespannt sein.… Expand

The story can feel a bit confusing but, although it has its flaws, it is very good and makes you empathize with all the characters (some more than others), the gameplay is quite good and being able to control almost everything in your environment is incredible. Unfortunately I can't give it a higher rating because the game isn't perfect. It has a lot of fps drops, sometimes the game closes, the end feels a bit rushed, there are very good bosses but they are very few and some are repeated. In short, it's a good game that I totally recommend, but it has some bugs that can make the experience not the best.… Expand

Their games have a unique style that’s easy to tell apart from the crowd. Control has shades of Twin Peaks and The Twilight Zone. It messes with your mind, as you explore The Oldest House as the director of the FBC. The story is well told, with plenty of characters to interact with and scattered collectibles. You use one weapon, primarily, but it has many forms. You also have powers. So the gameplay is fast and frenetic. Enemy variety isn’t great, but it’s serviceable. Boss fights are pretty fun though. The main gripes I have are a lack of interesting side missions and overall performance. When I beat it a year ago and got the Platinum, it was on a base PS4. It was not running well. I heard the Pro isn’t much better. The game also lacks focus in the latter half. Overall, Control is a success, despite some obvious issues.… Expand

Слюнки текут от местного брутализма. Игра света, туман, астральные вселенные - просто вау. Одна просека и запретная зона - чего стоят. Звук в игре тоже очень крутой. Когда надо - вызывает напряжение и пугает, в бою - очень хорошо задает темп. Проблема только с сюжетом, вернее с его подачей. Без роликов на ютубе я бы не разобрался( хотя до конца я так и не разобрался собственно). Мир в игре интересный, уникальные монстры, вся эта паранормальщина. Очень отдаёт Твин Пикс и Икс Файлс.

    很好玩的游戏，偏线性，本体的流程还是比较短的。玩腻了开放世界rpg换换口味。
    画面精美，对物体和建筑的刻画达到了极高的造诣。
    玩法很特别，基本可以与大部分物体互动，并且能扔出去是游戏的亮点。 剧情也不错，偏悬疑，但不恐怖。 收集元素也都是为了补充世界观的，很合理。 支线任务数量和质量也非常不错，除了清除霉菌这一类型的支线其他都很优秀，没有无脑跑图的支线。 游戏在PS4上的优化有待改善，战斗过程中敌人数量太多容易掉帧，整个游玩崩溃了好几次。    很好玩的游戏，偏线性，本体的流程还是比较短的。玩腻了开放世界rpg换换口味。

The gameplay is also fun as hell. It is fast, aggressive and explosive, perfect. The music is also very well done, specially towards the end, there is a section which I will not spoil, but just sooo totally kicks ass.
    The only downside I can find in this game is the performance. I played it on my base PS4, and yep, framerate drops to the single digits in some areas, specially in combat. I never died because of it, but I can easily imagine being a problem in some cases, specially with the combat being so fast. All in all, play it, Remedy is one of the best developers out there, and this game is a statement to that.    … Expand

    I only picked this up because it was recently added to the Xbox Game Pass. I went in not knowing what to expect, which I think made it all the better.

    It features a brilliant story where you play as Jesse, voiced by Courtney Hope (who did a great job with the voice acting), a vast, in-depth mind-boggling world and really interesting abilities.

    Highly recommend this to anyone.

    Personalmente, uno de los mejores juegos que hay actualmente. Obviamente tiene sus errores, pero no suelen ocurrir, y en el caso de que ocurran, no afectan al juego. Te engancha desde el minuto uno, para mi esto es un 10, y si le pudiera dar mas valoracion se la daba sin dudarlo.

    The writing, direction, and performances are consistently brilliant. This is Remedy at the peak of its game. Control feels like a company rediscovering itself, waking from a long slumber. Remedy’s legs work as intended once more, the vestiges of sleep paralysis a distant memory.

    I don’t want to use the word masterpiece lightly, but what else do you call the combination of gleefully chaotic gameplay with earnest storytelling in a setting as refreshingly unique as Bioshock? What else do you call a combat system that goes so far beyond the simple act of shooting a gun without drilling down into a set of intricate menus and complicated controls? What else do you call darkly malevolent horror that doesn’t feel like it was cribbed from someplace else? What else do you call the crowning achievement of a studio with a unique voice, an uneven track record, and 25 years of experience? If there’s a better word to describe what Remedy has achieved with Control, I can’t think of it.
