    Control on PS5 was a game with excellent graphics, animations and cutscenes. The fights were intense, although at the end got a little dull. The main problem in my mind was very limited variation of enemies and scenary. Overall good game.

    Mediocre gameplay with a lot of repetition. Story has some good elements, but the protagonist constant comments and mary sue attitude detriments the overall experience.

    Not for me personally.

    Now maybe I didn't give the game a chance but I've played nearly Three hours of it and I don't see any real reason to continue. I do believe there is a good game in here, the amount of positive reviews I see for the game tells me that I -must- be missing something or maybe it's just one of those things we can chalk up to a "Yeah, it just wasn't for him, it    Not for me personally.

    I do believe there is a good game in here, the amount of positive reviews I see for the game tells me that I -must- be missing something or maybe it's just one of those things we can chalk up to a "Yeah, it just wasn't for him, it seems."

    First of all let me say that graphically the game is gorgeous, I'm running on quite a high end PC and the game looks genuinely phenomenal and really establishes a certain aesthetic of that 70s/80s office feel and the set pieces were genuinely good to look at.

    The passive storytelling is another part of the game I'm fond of, the redacted notes and letters you find around the place really help you feel like there's been more going on in the world the developers created rather than just you as a character being inserted in and everything goes from there.

    Combat is okay, it's nothing overly special but it's good enough so that it's not super tedious.

    For me, the protagonist isn't likeable, as the player, I genuinely don't care about anything she has to say or what her actual goal is, the inner monologues as well; for me, seem really frustrating because it takes a while to realise as to why she's having these inner monologues, and perhaps for a lack of a better word, the whole thing seemed a bit pretentious.

    So the game does require a bit of Self-Navigation but the map barely does a good job at helping you out here, you can never tell what floor you're on according to the map, maybe I've missed something like a floor switch button and if I have, then that's my fault; but I found that the self navigation in a giant building in a game like this just wasn't for me.

    For me, the game just wasn't fun and the story wasn't compelling enough to keep me going, I've heard it gets better after the four-five hour mark but I genuinely have next to no desire to hit that "Launch" button. When I turn the game off, I'm not excited to put it back on.

    To reiterate, I do think there is a good game in here, potentially one I might enjoy; but for where I left off and the experience I've had with it already, it's just not for me and I can't recommend it for the above reasons.    … Expand

    The gameplay mechanics are precise, and the combat system is thoughtfully crafted. While the map may pose some confusion, the navigation system empowers the player through a sign system that immerses them in the experience. However, the surrealistic undertone may not appeal to those who prefer a more straightforward and linear narrative.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing experience overall.
    Loved the concept and story of this masterpiece.
    It was like a perfect blend of X-Files, Fringe and Stranger things. I just couldn't stop almost until the end of the story. Closer to the end I had a hard time with few bosses (especially the one from Alan Wake side quest)and almost gave up on the game, however I've decided to "cheat" with an included "1-shot-kill" option. Yep, that Alan Wake side quest really took me off the main storyline, it takes quiet a time, and afterwards I just didn't have any juice left to finish the game.
    Aside of that little flaw...
    Gameplay is amazing, didnt expect so many superpowers available and that gunfight is awesome. Level design is masterpiece. Everything is so beautiful - it's a modern art.
    Closer to the end felt tired of same enemies, but it didn't ruin the experience for me.
    Waiting for a sequel.    … Expand

Courtney Hopes performance als Jesse Faden (the main character) is spot on, perfect voice acting and I love Jesse as a character. The game has great story telling with humor and lots of suspense as well as masterclass world building (documents and audio recodings). Not to mention the amazing graphics and the very unique art style (reminds me of Stanley Kubrick movies with all that geometry, lighting contrasts and 60/70s interor and technology). There is clever level design, detailed decoration and realistic enviroment. The fighting system is really cool, the combination of superhuman powers and shooting with different kind of weapons mix quite fine and lead to exciting fast-paced-battles. The sourroundings react to your actions really nicely (things break, explode etc.). Overally Control has a really well made atmosphere with build up suspense, psychological horror elements and firghtening enivorments. But it manages to never get too scary, just the right amount. I really liked the insane attention to details (adding so much additional stuff like very long handwritten texts or forever ongoing voicelines add to the world immersive feeling). The ashtray maze level on its own is a gaming masterpiece, one of the best video game missions ever. The length of the game is just right, for people who really liked it Control even offers two quite good DLCs. In addition to that I have to mention the flawless programming: there is an impressive high quality of effects and physical behaviour of objects, I never encountered bugs or graphical errors. The sheer amount of documents, audio recordings etc. especially the ones that are linked together shows me Remedy really put a lot of effort and love into this game. What I have to criticize is that raytracing looks stunning on the PS5 but feels weird and too irritating since it produces a stutter and blurring when moving the camera. Another minor problem is that enemies are too repetative and mostly the same (except the mold zombies which I think feels like a nice hommage to TLOU). Fighting parts always feel the same wave style, there are no tactical aproaches and only rarely different situations - I wish for the sequel to improve in this aspect. Another improvement for a sequel could be to move the weapon form choosing to the directional buttons of the controller, this would make it possible to choose from more different weapon forms fluently. You find weapon mods and personal mods too often, they really stuff in the inventory and are mostly useless since most are weaker than the ones you already have. The translation of the documents or subtitles into german is sometimes quite poorly, I started with english audio and german texts but soon switched to both english since a lot of the humor or cleverness of the texts is lost in grammatical errors or obvious google translator mistakes. One thing that set me off was that you sometimes instant die when falling off a cliff, this ruines the game flow. Personally I think the ending felt too rushed, it would be better to leave the player a break before the final fight - I was confused and surprised to find myself in the final battle all of the sudden. Overall control is a really outstanding game. It shines with its creativity and innovative ideas. The only big flaws for me are that I personally can't use the raytracing mode because it makes me motion sick and that the enemies get too repetative after some time. Still its very uniqueness and amazing setting, story and world design make it in my opinion a 10/10 masterpiece.… Expand

    Such a brilliantly unique game. If you're looking for something different, this is certainly the place to start. A truly immersive experience, one with a cornucopia of quirky yet utterly compelling lore, and the gameplay coupled with the environmental destruction is truly something to marvel at.

This is so unnecessary.. The characters, and especially Jesse, never connect to the player. There are no ups and downs, just the steady (and repetitive) stream of hiss and missions. The environment is also soulless, even though that might be the intention because of the bureau of control, it is somehow always neutral and boring.

    Some checkpoints are well intended, but poorly placed, which sometimes leads to frustration, as many others have noted.

    This doesn't make it a bad game, just a very average one. It is a pity because the game has so much more potential. The levitating, lifting and throwing of things and the controls are phenomenal. For me it is a fun game, but one that I will forget about now that I finished it. It is a good buy when on sale, but not worth the full price.    … Expand

You need to explore your surroundings and watch videos you'll find and read the documents lying around to have an idea of whats happening. The game doesn't tell you much in how to do things. The map is useless and I just accidentally found out how to upgrade weapons.

    Its a breath of fresh air but theres a problem. This game's story is like the build up to Christmas but when the day finally comes it doesn't meet the expectations. Your 9 years of age and your expecting a PS2 but you get the N64. Not a bad system but its no PS2.

    You have to remember that this is a game first and a story second. There is a sense of atmosphere though and thats just as important and it is spooky. Sometimes terrifying. I felt so confused most of the time. Whats with the hotel? Why am I the director? Whats the hiss? Why am I here? Was I always the director? Is the gun the director? Am I asking the right questions?

    The problem is that you have all these questions and you expect to get some answers but your just left hanging. The character you play as is just satisfied with the outcome. She now knows the answers to the why, what, how questions but Im left with 'Huh? What'. I dont know how to describe it.

    I felt like this is the sequel to another game. They just expected you to know some of the lore already but what lore. This is a new IP. But it does leave me wanting more and I can't wait to play the next one.    … Expand

The writers (both of the reviews and game) should be deeply ashamed. They (the game developers) took a great concept, which they even marketed as based on SCP Foundation, and absolutely ruined it. The main character won't shut the **** up. It's maddening. She constantly narrates everything with the most inane commentary of all time. There is zero immersion because you are not the main character, some moron is. The best parts of the game are totally immolated by this. The gameplay loop is also tragically bad. Run through office space after office space shooting enemies who for some reason take your entire clip to kill, but themselves are armed with SMGs and sometimes even forcefields (that also take your whole clip to bring down). There are no difficulty settings either, except to make yourself invincible or turn on one-hitting. Which of course, ruins any tension in the fights. The dialogue is all poorly written exposition, and then followed by more inane and incredibly annoying narration by the main character. All I could think is "why won't she shut the **** up so I can have my own thoughts about what is happening." The mystery and paranormal intrigue is the only redeeming factor, but they ripped the concepts straight from SCP, which is a much much better use of your time if you enjoy that kind of fiction content, because SCP contains literally thousands of stories, and "objects of power", and this game contains maybe 5 or so. The game's best quality is that it isn't totally linear, and you can explore around and find clues and hints about the mysterious objects and events. But this is not the focus, and there isn't nearly enough of this content to justify the game's existence.

I play games slow, methodical searching everywhere, everything, reading all items, taking notes if necessary & the story is well acted & an interesting, spooky at times & a “thinker”. The superpowers you get feel real with proper physics & most importantly fun as hell. If you blast through the main story only you’ll miss out on some cool powers so do ALL side missions. I didn’t find anything you could miss or bypass. Do whatever missions you want. There’s main, side, “alert” & board missions. Main & side are obvious & do them as you please. Alert randomly pop up when you pick up certain items & just randomly. Board missions you choose at “save points” where you pick up to three that you constantly work on like kill X number of enemies in a certain area or with a certain weapon & other variations for a reward like a weapon modifier or character modifier.
    The are takes place in a building but surprisingly it’s architecture is different on the floors & as huge as the game is, it’s fairly easy to remember. I’m finishing the second DLC. Platinum trophy main game so my opinion isn’t from a few minutes or hours of play. If being specific I’d say 8.6/10. I had the game from PSN+ subscription but I bought a new copy to support the developer & to have a physical copy. After I finish the PS5 version I plan on playing the PS4 version. Remember stick with it for a few hours before quitting. It takes time to get some powers but it’s a long game (yes, of course it doesn’t have to be). If you read the items it’ll become more clear what you need to do but the story is ongoing.    … Expand

    By combining elements of Neo-Noir, urban fantasy, and conspiracy theory science fiction, Remedy’s Control offers a lot for anyone looking for a piece of medium with a good dollop of old and experimental game mechanics mixed with fun combat and a great story. While the combat could use a little tweaking, there’s no denying how much the folks over at Remedy value and respect the lore and characters they’ve created. Here’s hoping the sequel improves upon this foundation and gives us something truly amazing.

    My first experience with Control was underwhelming due to my base PS4 not being powerful enough to do this great game justice. Now I wish I waited for the next-gen version. The Ultimate Edition finally looks and runs as it should (however, if you want ray tracing, you’ll have to accept 30 FPS) and also offers two expansions that tie the story to Alan Wake.

    Control is an amazing experience that is befitting of the next gen consoles. It has killer Ray Tracing features, unfortunately hampered by their implementation, and a rock solid performance mode which feels amazing. The truly twisted dystopian world of the FBC is one that will persist in player's memories for a long time with its strange otherworldly places, alongside its humanising story. Highly recommended to all PlayStation 5 owners looking for an action-adventure with some real depth and fun combat!
