    Ciekawa fabuła i trzyma w napięciu, lecz po pewnym czasie zaczyna się robić lekko nudna

    Things I liked:

    - The licensed music, like porcupine tree during the credits. - The worldbuilding and text and media found throughout the game. - The occasional great writing and glimpses of /mystery/ throughout, although uncommon. - The visuals were lovely at times. - The sense of cosmic and interdimensional realities is well done and very rare in games. - Nods to Jung and the    Things I liked:

    - The sense of cosmic and interdimensional realities is well done and very rare in games.
    - Nods to Jung and the collective unconscious.

    Things I disliked:

    - AWFUL pathfinding and map, with near constant confusion and wandering around aimlessly.
    - Repetitive and fairly dull combat and it takes up almost the majority of the game, strange for a narrative-focused game too.
    - Original soundtrack is pretty bland.
    - The main character is entirely forgettable.
    - Harmful feminist undertones (all the males are either stupid, die, are evil or incompetent) and ZERO females die, and are always strong and capable.
    - The ending was pretty poor.    … Expand

    Juegazo, un nuevo acierto de Remedy, tanto en historia, jugabilidad como en el balance casi perfecto entre historia y acción. Algunas fases como el laberinto de las cenizas es simplemente sublime.

    Jestem bardzo wybredny i wiele gier odpada bo mnie po prostu nudzi. 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.
    To teraz moja ulubiona gra.    … Expand

    게임 초반엔 기괴하고 섬뜩한 분위기가 굉장히 흥미로웠으나
    너무나 많은 텍스트 정보에 지쳤고 , 게임을 하면서 피로감까지 느꼈다.
    그나마 좋았던 점은 전투 중 타격감은 나쁘지 않았다.

    Control has an amazing story, great gameplay mechanics and succeeds to create an immersive and suspenseful atmosphere. It's the kind of game I love and would recommend gamers to play at least once.
    But Remedy, why not make previous gen saves compatible with current gen ? Real bummer.

    The colors and setting of this game are incredible, the way red and black environments are combined with white or gray is magnificent, the gameplay is very entertaining, the skill tree is well thought out and the story in conjunction with the established lore are very well cared for.

    Quickly became one of my favorite games. The mechanics, art style, storytelling, and humor are all 100% my jam. Just awesome, and a joy to play.

    Episode designs and story didn't appeal to me. I left without seeing the ending. Maybe I'll give it another chance in the future

    A stylish shooter that subverts and surprises at every turn. A little glitchy, though. [Issue#182, p.79]

    Control has that signature Remedy feel to it, from its unique combat to its completely out there narrative, something only Sam Lake could be a part of. Although the story is Control’s strongest asset, it will take a lot of concentration and thought to piece it all together, as I’ve still got many questions even after the credits have rolled. Luckily you can continue Jesse’s journey once completed, allowing you to finish up any sidequests and other activities as we wait on the upcoming DLC that will hopefully answer more questions. Welcome to the FBC Director.

    Control is Remedy's most daring work. A courageous level design that encourages exploration and limits visual guides is mixed with fierce combat. In the second half, this combate can be somewhat monotonous and repetitive. Its story is neither the best nor is it told in the best way. Quite the opposite of its setting, which seduces the player with shocking scenarios and situations.
