    An overall solid package, a tiny bit repetitive due to small enemy variety. Story was intriguing, music and sound were great, solid gunplay/powers and game looks great.

    Un juego superior a la media en lo jugable. Aunque, al igual que Alan wake, demasiado complicado en lo narrativo. Independientemente de eso es un gran videojuego.

    One of the best games I have ever played, in my 18 years of gaming. The graphics are superb, the gameplay is riveting, and the sheer variety of abilities, strategies and weaponry available to you, is unique, another amazing entry by Remedy games

    This review will be spoiler free as I only want to talk about my experience with the game and how the game holds up in a general sense.

    So firstly I want to talk about the positives.
    Control's gameplay was very good as it gives you a variety of ways to defeat enemies and all of the abilities are well balanced... well except for the rock throws that are in the game. I know I said I would talk about the positives first but most of the game has a great template but when you get deeper into it, you see how flawed some things are. So about the rock throw ability, when I first got the ability I noticed that it was a little bit too strong and thought that throughout the game it's strength would even out, but yeah that wasn't the case. I maxed out the throw ability as early as possible and it made the game feel like I am playing it on the easiest difficulty while the weapons were only useful when I ran out of energy (stopped being a problem when I maxed that out too).
    I fully understand that anyone can choose to just not use the throw and focus on the other aspects, but in my case the other abilities and weapons seem good at first, only for me to realize that none of the other game styles proved to be fun, seeing as how the enemies became repetitive very fast, I needed the fighting to be at least a little fun but without the throw it all felt like a long chore.

    Now moving on to the story. The lore and backstory of the game is honestly amazing, and so was the setting that they went with. The game was completely immersive in both storytelling and gameplay, I genuinely loved how the game was setup in terms of the world. My favorite part was probably the maze nearing the end but I will refrain from spoiling it as the mission is really great.

    Now the story itself falls completely short at the end. The game builds up so much suspense and as you're coming to the final missions it leaves in you a state of "oh I can't imagine how this will end", you know it being a story about supernatural beings all that. But no, the story just falls completely flat in my opinion and it really seems as if it is a college essay that you would write at 3am the day before the deadline and don't have enough time to finish it. All the ending really does is give you new clothes and lets you free roam some boring side missions. I have a big problem with endings in games and movies, if the ending isn't better than the whole story then I dislike it, I know many people won't relate but this ending really ruined the experience for me.

    About the other smaller talking points, the voice acting was mediocre for the most part, I really didn't feel any emotion coming from 80% of the characters (no disrespect to the talented voice actors who worked on the game, it just wasn't their best work). The music was amazing, it always set the mood well, the graphics were extremely good so I do not have any criticism there.

    All in all the game is worth playing but more so as a side game that you would finish while you wait for some big release to come out. The most outstanding part of the game was the IP while everything else starts well but just jumps off a cliff midway through.    … Expand

    A solid action adventure game with an incredibly evocative setting. Not only is the X-Files/SCP object vibe a really fun one that's well executed, but the banality of the office setting and how it manages to subvert and play with it really make this game stand out. plus the gunplay is super solid and telekinesis is so much fun!

Finally the combat is atrocious. It's sluggishly implemented and enemies respawn any time you leave an area. When you die, you lose half you experience so get stuck on an enemy and you're now in an endless loop of progression halting. Finally the main character's bland and has no personality.

I've heard a lot of buzz about the story, but it's pretty boilerplate "evil corporation exploits the paranormal" stuff. Where Control falls flat on its face is a) technical issues (yes, frame rates drop precipitously right when the game spams you with enemies), and b) extreme fluctuations in difficulty. Enemies will appear out of nowhere, or manifest behind you with no warning whatsoever, decimating your health. Then you wait for 30 seconds for the game to reload, only to get kicked back 3-5 minutes and have to work your way back to where you were, re-fighting enemies along the way. One boss randomly destroys the floor, causing you to fall to your death, causing you to wait for the load screen, causing you to claw your way back, etc. Control would have been exceptional but for these perpetual frustrations that could have so easily been solved.… Expand

    Amazing world building, characters, story and music. The combat is the biggest let-down, ironically, thanks to the game's sloppy controls.

You'll probably die once or twice each big fight, but then you learn and improve and feel great. All the way past the Ashtray Maze (a masterpiece), I really liked the game. Unfortunately, that game ends all to soon. And a new, horrible game takes its place.

    The curtain drops and suddenly you're playing a very bad Dark Souls. The difficulty scales in the most infuriating ways for every side quest and the end of the main quest. Long load times and long runs back make for gameplay loops of just dying over and over to have a slim chance at the perfection needed to succeed. When you do win a fight, it's usually because you found a cheesy spot where the AI is too dumb to engage and you just fling auto-aimed bricks. Otherwise, it's nonstop homing attacks and enemy design that couldn't be worse or lazier if it tried.

    The Jukebox is an embarrassment to good game design. The weapon upgrades and customization feels so poorly balanced that there's often a "correct" option. Although, even that can be hard to tell because this game loves to punish you for trying anything new at this point. You'll be dead before you know what did or didn't work.

    Add in bugs, crashes, and performance issues on the PS4 and your nightmare is complete. One loading screen after another. If you enjoy that amount of grind and masochism, then I hope you enjoy Control. Otherwise, play something with competent balance that respects your time.    … Expand

    Having received a telepathic message Jesse Faden arrives at Federal Bureau of Control looking to find her kidnapped brother.

    The mix of physic abilities and gun-play makes for some enjoyable combat, but the game fails to introduce enough new ideas throughout it’s 12-15 hour run time and the endless grey corridors make for a dull setting.

    I played Control in 2019 and thought it was a good game that I liked.
    However, I experienced a low frame rate often.

    Amazing concept for a game. Remedy manages to create atmosphere, wonder and action in a very fluid package. A game that happens in confined environment, but manages to broaden out way beyond it's surroundings. Gameplay, controls, graphics are flawless. I also enjoyed the characters, but felt they could have been fleshed out a little more.

    Game with such potential in atmosphere, visual style and play mechanics all ruined by absolutely lengthy shallow plot, plain storytelling and characters, boring repetitive fights. Still, very good suspense. Loved running labyrinth as much as burning weed in Far Cry 3.
    Nice tribute to SCP Foundation.

    I really enjoyed this game when I played it the first time at release and a few days ago I decided to finally play the two DLCs and what can I say: The first one felt a bit harder than the main game and the second DLC involves Alan Wake, another Remedy gam that I really enjoyed, so they're great in my book

    As for the cons, there weren't too many for me, mostly of cosmetical nature, but on thing that I noticed on both the PS4 as well das the PS5 version was that I almost always had half a second of lag when I closed the inventory/missions screen.
    The biggest flaws for me however were the lighting as well as some effects. Especially floodlights were way too bright while other parts of the game were way too dark plus the smoke screen effect of some enemies was pretty annoying, but other than that it was great.    … Expand

    PS. The people complaining like little spoiled brats about the low frame rate moments need to understand that devs are trying to push the boundaries of the machines for OUR benefit and entertainment.
    Watching the gaming industry grow into what it is today is amazing; games are works of art and entertainment beyond the usual "vzioung-pow-pow" shooting of the past.

    Cons

    - Dr. Hartmann boss (3rd fight) ist he most annoying and badly designed boss I have ever seen. Extremely unfun, unfair and stupid. I have played Dark Souls, Nioh and Sekiro, but this was the first boss where I had to turn on the cheat mode
    - Combat is a little bit repetetive
    - Story makes no sense, but maybe this is intended
    - Annoying difficulty spikes that make you wanna rage quit. When you die, you have to clear all the enemy waves again, and this can take some time
    - Devs wanted game to be Dark Souls, but it doesnt feel right for this type of game. Too hard
    - Quest markers are not precise enough, you have to search areas like an idiot
    - There are some stupid quests like an Arcade mode or an Expedition which are boring and uncreative
    - Spawning mobs during boss fights
    - Regenerating bosses
    - Mobs respawn if you leave and room and return immediately

    Control is a decent game with good amount of frame rate issues and a confusing story with barely any compelling characters aside from the main character i guess. The gameplay is pretty fun if you look past the bad frame rate and the open world in this game is pretty unique. The powers are fun and enjoyable but nothing jaw dropping or anything. Overall this is an above average game.

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.

    Almost perfect game. Power fantasy superhero combat in a horror setting with a banger of a soundtrack and one of the best levels ever made. The only thing that lets it down is the random fetch/kill side quests you get given every 10 minutes. Ignore them totally and you'll be fine.

    Control is supposedly made by Remedy, the makers of Alan Wake, hence why I picked this title up. It’s supposed to be a story-strong game that can stand on its own but also pulls all Remedy titles into one universe. However, this is not the case. Control plays more like a tech demo, of which it does very well, in its physics and lighting department. Though this does have a drawback on theControl is supposedly made by Remedy, the makers of Alan Wake, hence why I picked this title up. It’s supposed to be a story-strong game that can stand on its own but also pulls all Remedy titles into one universe. However, this is not the case. Control plays more like a tech demo, of which it does very well, in its physics and lighting department. Though this does have a drawback on the PS4, with terrible framerates and freezing as the game tries to keep up, even after the patches! And then there is hardly a story to be found in comparison to Remedy’s other titles. I really wanted to like this game, after all it was trying to pull all the Remedy games into one universe, but I think in doing that it lost track of itself. At the end of the day, what makes Control Control? What will I remember in the long run, what will make me come back to this game years down the road? Answer nothing except perhaps watching the videos of the AWE DLC.

    This is a game that never should have been a full game. Its story is too thin, it would have been better off as an expansion or something that was no more than perhaps 6 hours. At least then it would have been concise and it wouldn’t be filled with ridiculous fetch quests and empty open world. I mean come on you become Director, head of the entire Bureau, and your underlings have you collect mold samples. Seriously? Also, should have been an expansion because this game simply can’t stand on its own. It pulls too much of Alan Wake and even Max Payne into its story, which is the point of the game, but if you’ve never played those games you’d be at a complete loss as to what it’s talking about.

    You have to play past the first two chapters to finally start getting into some meat of the story and have yourself wanting to know more. But you’re in for a shock of disappointment. Every moment as you progress through the story you’re hoping for that moment where story and explanation starts happening but with every new cutscene you’ll feel your dread rising as you realize the characters know what’s going on but not you. The main character, Jesse had some terrible event happen to her as a child in her hometown of Ordinary. You want to know what happened there and why? So do I, because you’ll never receive a satisfactory answer.

    By the end of the game, I understood where the Hiss came from and how this event came to be but it just wasn’t that great. It should have been explained over time, teasing little bits and pieces making you want to get to the bottom of the mystery. And how is the biggest explanation in the game a 5 minute monologue where you actually have to stop and stand next to the character because it’s not a cutscene?! And players could totally blow past it without even knowing because it’s during a really monotonous portion of the last level where you’re desperate to get it over with!

    Gameplay-wise: It has difficulty spikes, ranging from a simple cake-walk to heading into another room and finding the combat impossible, dying four times in a row against the same boss, with a horrendous checkpoint system that has you traversing across a good portion of the map to get back to the battle. It’s so bad to the point that an assist mode was patched into the game later on with reduced damage and invincibility, just to make you want to throw the controller through the tv a little less. This can plainly be seen in the achievement percentages when only 16% of people finished this game! The enemies themselves are just copy/paste, once they’re all introduced they either shoot at you or throw objects at you, with bosses sprinkled in between, it’s not different enough to make memorable combat using tactics. There’s a skill tree and weapon mods, which shouldn’t even exist. The skills don’t add to helping you get through the game and by the end of the game, you’ll be drowning in weapon mods and not giving most of them a second glance before turning them into upgrade points.

    As someone who managed to get a platinum trophy (and not going way out of the way to do so), I found 323 collectibles throughout the game and that wasn’t even all of them!! I spent hours reading things that should have been put in the game to explain what the heck was happening. Collectibles are supposed to be something that adds to the game but ultimately, doesn’t matter if you miss them, however in Control, you range from if you don’t pick these up you’ll be even more lost or why the heck do these exist because who cares what office drama is happening?

    Don’t bother picking this title up, it’s not a game and it’s just plain not good. This game clearly exists only to push the Alan Wake story forward, mostly on the monetary level; they wanted to make some quick money to begin the AW sequel. Your best option? Watch someone’s videos on YouTube of the AWE DLC Alan Wake moments, as will probably play a factor into the upcoming Alan Wake 2.    … Expand

    The puzzles in this game are incredibly dense. You will never figure them out without using a guide. Solutions dont feel organic. You will walk away from this game wondering how anyone was supposed to figure that out. Beyond that the story is convulted and pretentious. (Even for a kojima fan).

    The story concept is interesting, not gonna lie, but its.. empty, theres no memorable/interesting characters, the story pace is terrible and looks like devs spent 50% of time development writing texts cause oh boy, youre going to become an expert reader in Control due to the stupid amount of docs and reports to read, looks like they didnt wanted to show to us some things, got lazy, and just wrote it down in a piece of paper. I like games that presents docs containing more story info to the players, but this game is like WAY too much.

    Game is way too easy, enemies variety is a joke, as well as the environment; you look right u see offices, you look left you see more offices, you look down, guess what, offices! The maps absolutely sucks, u get stuck 80% of the time, and its not me, i love for example the SoulsBorne series, it doesnt even have a map, but once u put some hours into these games u memorize the map, because ITS DIFFERENT, theres DIFFERENT areas, theres VARIATY... things that Control sucks way too much.

    I rated as 5/10, because theres great graphics to pleasure you, and the combat is kinda great (it also becomes boring with time because weapons start to become useless and u only levitate things as defence), also theres the destruction factor which i truly loved, the scenario is great for destroy objects, glass, walls and etc..

    Gra jest frustrująca do tego stopnia że straciłem chęć do dalszej gry. Po utracie życia odrodzenie tylko w punktach kontrolnych a nie w punktach zapisu które są bardzo często-to najbardziej zniechęca do dalszej zabawy. Z tego powodu musimy ponownie pokonywać długą drogę i często ponownie tych samych przeciwników. Walka zmusza do ciągłego ruchu tylko że często tego miejsca nie ma.

    The best game I've ever played, amazing style, gameplay, plot, all this is at the highest level. In the first part (I hope for a quick release of the second part) there are no revealed secrets and a particularly cool connection with other projects from Remedy. I would also like to note the charisma of Trench and the mystery of Ahti.

    If you omit the frame rate drop that really bothers you sometimes the game itself is a masterpiece with a great story to discover a lot about and the gameplay system that entertain you so much this game is perfect

Control jednak zainteresował mnie od pierwszego momentu i wciagnął tak , że przeszedłem grę po minimum dwa razy na każdej platformie na jakiej wyszedł (czyli wiele razy wpliczajac PS4, xos, XSX, PC-Steam-Epic-GOG-GFN. Trzy miesiace tylko tej gry plus wiele godzin z dodatkami.

    Interesujaca tajemnicza historia jak w Archiwum x, Fringe czy Debris. Do tego świetne efekty cząsteczkowe i bardzo satysfakcjonująca walka. Na minus powtarzalni przeciwnicy i bossowie. Ale to nic . Drugi być moze minus to błedy na start gry i dosyć długo kazali czekać na poprawki ale nic tak uciażliwego jak w CP2077 czy Outriders.

    Just an FYI at the beginning of the review. I was not the largest fan of companies previous work, Alan Wake. If you love that game, I think you will love this one too.

    As someone who was not too familiar or interested in SCPs, this game pulls that concept/theme off well. The theme ties in well with the story. Biggest gripe is gameplay.

Regardless, it was a pretty immersive story for the most part, despite having several peaks and valleys. I have to compliment the acting in this game, especially by some of the later characters. The gameplay feels like a very well executed third person shooter that belonged on the Xbox 360. I don’t mean that in any good or bad way, but after reading the developer’s history, I can totally see how the developers also made Alan Wake and Max Payne. So the gameplay feels like something we don’t see much of anymore, and this genre really ran its course a couple generations ago, it’s still fun. The only real complaint I have is that this game would have benefitted from a more linear mission-based design instead of the open world design. Since the entire game takes place indoors, I found myself getting lost pretty regularly. The graphics are also very impressive for a PS4 game, and look fantastic on the PS5. Overall it’s a dated formula that is executed with a unique story that isn’t like many other games. The best way to describe the experience: I enjoyed it, but I will forget about it quickly.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Control é um daqueles jogos que te costuma ter jogar um um mar de perguntas, dando respostas parciais e gradativamente, como a muitos filmes e séries de suspense: podemos ver grande influência de Arquivo X aqui.
    Você controle Jesse Faden, que adentra no prédio de uma organização governamental secreta em busca de seu irmão, do qual foi separada desde criança. Faden é guiada por alguém com quem ela conversa como se fosse seu pensamento ou mesmo o jogador dando a entender que ela pode quebrar a chamada quarta parede.
    Ao entrar no prédio abandonado da nomeada FBC (Federal Bureal of Control), ela descobre que a agência foi tomada por uma força/entidade sobrenatural que ela mesmo chama de Ruído. Encontrando o corpo do diretor e pegando a arma ao lado do corpo do mesmo (chamada de Arma de Serviço), ela passa a adentrar a estrutura eliminando os humanos corrompidos pela entidade e adquirindo habilidades ao entrar em contato com objetos paranormais (a agência era especialista em investigar atividades e objetos paranormais até que um deles fugiu ao controle).
    Com um gameplay focado na ação, o jogo cumpre bem o seu papel dando lindos efeitos de destruição de cenário.
    O ponto alto é a história muito bem construída, com uma ambientação maravilhosa que interliga outros jogos da Remedy, como Alan Wake.
    As respostas claro, começam a aparecer apenas no final, e valem a pena para cada minuto de exploração neste jogo que possui grandes traços de metroidvania.    … Expand

    El juego pinta muy bien a nivel argumental y gráfico, el problema viene que peca en muchos momentos de repetitivo y eso le hace perder un poco a nivel de entretenimiento. Son interesantes los poderes que va adquiriendo la protagonista a lo largo del juego, así como ir abriendo los distintos puntos de control, la duración también está muy bien ya que más largo se haría demasiado repetitivo.

    When I first saw this game I thought it would be a Half-Life-styled game with all the supernatural story included.
    But in the first 30 min, there were more cutscenes than actual gameplay.

    There is no evil to say about the game with a very successful game.Graphics, sounds, character control, the camera does not blend their own remained well with the sprouting going, the story good. Game was also suitable for the demanding faces between a little thinking about what to do and to what to go.

    Ahora las partes malas, el rendimiento en ps4 es pésimo, las peleas y los enemigos (salvo algunos jefes finales) son aburridas (creo que se podrían haber echo cosas mas interesantes con la combinación de poderes y armas), el doblaje al castellano muy malo y por ultimo los coleccionables, me parece bien que estén ahí para reforzar la historia y darle un contexto, pero es que hay demasiados, la mayoría no aportan nada y los pocos que si lo hacen son un suplicio de leer por el estilo en el que están escritos (censurando palabras clave para darle un toque de documento confidencial).

    En resumen creo que es un juego que vale la pena, aun con sus defectos, sé que cualquier tipo de jugador va a disfrutarlo.    … Expand

    This game is a work of art. From the start, I was extremely impressed to the attention to detail and the discoverable area. The facial and body graphics are decent, not amazing for a game of this year, but still not bad. The game gets more fun, the further you progress and the throwable items superpower is so fun to use!

    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.
