    No. It doesn't have raytracing on Stadia. But I'll explain why that doesn't matter so much.

    There are few games that have captivated me so much and that I have finished so often. Control is one of them. When it was released on Xbox I bought the Ultimate Edition on Epic because of the raytracing. I then played it on Geforce Now. It looks good. No question about it. The effects make sense. But one thing should be clear. The impact in this game is relatively small. I find that one misses little, one should prefer the Stadia version. On the contrary.

    The Stadia version runs stable, looks good and has a high level of detail in both 1080p and 4K. The advantages are clearly the ease of use of the app, fast switching of devices and very good technical background. Therefore, I finish the Ultimate version now a 4th time on Stadia and can say that it is my favorite of all versions!

    However, the Nintendo Switch version beats all others with richer colors. You have to give it that.

    Nein. Es hat kein Raytracing auf Stadia. Warum das aber nicht so sehr ins Gewicht fällt erkläre ich euch.

    Es gibt wenige Spiele die mich so sehr gefesselt haben und die ich so oft beendet habe. Control gehört dazu. Zum Release auf der Xbox gespielt habe ich mir wegen Raytracing die Ultimate Edition auf Epic geholt. Gespielt habe ich es dann auf Geforce Now. Es sieht gut aus. Keine Frage. Die Effekte haben durchaus seinen Sinn. Aber eines sollte klar sein. Der Einfluss in diesem Spiel ist relativ gering. Ich finde das einen wenig entgeht, sollte man die Stadia Version bevorzugen. Im Gegenteil.

    Die Stadia Version läuft stabil, sieht gut aus und hat sowohl in 1080p als auch in 4K einen hohen detailgrad. Die Vorzüge sind klar die einfache Handhabung der App, schnelles wechseln der Geräte und sehr guter technischer Background. Deshalb beende ich die Ultimate Version jetzt ein 4. mal auf Stadia und kann sagen das es mir von allen Versionen die liebste ist!

    Allerdings schlägt die Nintendo Switch Version alle anderen mit satteren Farben. Das muss man ihr lassen.    … Full Review »

    9/10 ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

    This game is an architect's wet dream. The use of brutalism and classic "American corporate" styles as the embodiment of a paranormal living version of the CIA/FBI is pure genius. This is backed by near perfect graphics design, sound design, pacing and atmosphere.
    As a sort of advanced walking-simulator with a bit of shooting and platforming thrown in, I would find this game near-perfect. It is a masterpiece of post-cold-war fantastical atmosphere.

    6/10 MEDIOCRE SHOOTER

    Except for the stellar design of weapon/skill "impact feel" (mostly thanks to great visual and sound design), this game is just not that great of a shooter. It is decent... but that's it. Combat rapidly gets tedious, which just gets reinforced by infinitely repeating activities and missions getting added to the mix later in the game. The platforming is actually relatively fun, but also gets old quite fast. If anything, the gameplay is just a decent excuse for the story and atmosphere... but it's much too present to serve that role properly.
    Some rare unique fights are worth the effort and spectacle.

    Play it for the atmosphere, not for the gameplay.    … Full Review »
