    With a strong enough internet connection, Control Ultimate Edition - Cloud Version lets you stream a surprisingly seamless rendition of Remedy’s cutting-edge shooter to Nintendo’s modest tablet.

    Control Ultimate Edition - Cloud Version is a solid gaming experience that you can enjoy on Nintendo Switch if you can't try the Remedy title on another platform - it obviously doesn't look as good as it does on PS4 or Xbox One, but it feels and looks very similar.

    Control is, and always has been, a fantastic game – that's not in doubt. Remedy's skill when it comes to creating a highly-detailed game-world is world-class, and the gloriously dynamic combat is second-to-none – once you've unlocked the required skills in-game, at least. The Nintendo Switch may not be the absolute best place to play Control if you're looking for crisp 60fps graphics and rock-solid performance, but it's perfectly good if you've got a relatively stable internet connection and a Pro Controller.

    I'm one of those people who doesn't really have the money to buy a new PC or console just to play one game, so Control on the Switch for meI'm one of those people who doesn't really have the money to buy a new PC or console just to play one game, so Control on the Switch for me was a very conflicting idea. On the one hand, I could play something I was very interested in on a console I already owned. On the other hand, that meant I had to deal with the game being a cloud version, which comes with a potential for numerous drawbacks.

    As someone who has a pretty strong internet connection, this wasn't too big an issue for me. Of course, I'd be missing out on the ability to really play the game on the go, but I could still enjoy it portably around my house, and for the most part it ran very well. While I obviously can't directly compare since I've never played another version of Control, it felt like the game was running as well as it was meant to on any other console. Despite this, there were some times where the controls were quite obviously delayed, and other times when the sound was also delayed strangely. There's no department where the cloud version is perfect in that regard, but if you, like me, don't really mind that, then you'll probably do fine with this version of the game.

    I don't personally understand the very negative reviews for this version of Control, but that's from my own experience. If you have slower or less reliable an internet connection, getting a different version is obviously advised.    … Full Review »
