    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 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.    … Expand

    At the heart of Control Ultimate Edition – Cloud Version is a great game; it should be enjoyed by fans of the action genre or, indeed, fans of Remedy Entertainment's previous titles. The problem is that by pivoting Control to the cloud gaming model, there are numerous issues to consider, including wait times, downgraded graphics and occasional audio-sync issues. If this is your only means of playing Control then there's a chance you could look past these problems and enjoy the core product, but I'd recommend the other versions of the game any day.

    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.
