Power fantasy gaming done right

Have you ever played a third-person shooter and thought it would be better if the protagonist had psychokinetic powers? If so, here's a game for you! In Control, your gun kind of acts like a support weapon: your true strength lies in superior mobility and the ability to pulverize enemies by throwing energy blasts and random props at their face. And overall, it's very well executed. There is a simple, raw beauty to the combat, and to the way it gets increasingly insane as you gain new powers: it's not entirely without clumsiness, but the way the heroine destroys the environments during fights is extremely satisfying. The level design is fairly non-linear, and exploring the Bureau is fun and immersive, largely because Control has great atmosphere. In the Oldest House, a strange place inspired in equal measure by Jungian theory, brutalist architecture and SCP stories, you'll indeed discover a fascinating world of sterile concrete walls and deserted office spaces where everyday items are imbued with surreal powers, and where every employee has a few screws loose. Like in every good horror work, the true monsters of Control are glimpsed at rather than seen... Although Remedy's usual brand of deadpan wackiness brings some levity to it all. Sadly, Control suffers from, uh... "modern gaming issues". You know, all these RPG-esque mechanics that you've seen in every action game for the past 15 years but never really liked. Crafting, experience gains, upgrade systems, tiered enemies, randomly generated missions and loot... Those contents are meant to add depth to the gameplay, but it's mostly here as padding and does very little to actually enhance the experience. It's easy to imagine a version of Control that would have none of this fluff and remain great. Still, while Control has its flaws, in the end I can only recommend it. It's one of the most unique shooters to have been released in recent years and a blast to play, at least when it comes to the main story and DLCs.

WeirdGreat

This game is weird in the best way. The story is very strange but your character is just as weirded out by everything as you will be so you will figure things out together. This is Remedy at their best. Be sure to check out Alan Wake 2 as well.

Solid Action/Adventure that plays great

A short explanation of this game is The Force Unleashed as it should've played. But this is a solid action adventure game that has an insane story and atmosphere, that will suck you in until the very end. The controls are tough to master, but once you do you'll be destroying hordes of enemies. The graphics are great but demanding, although the game looks amazing even on medium settings. Be sure to play this with headphones or on a big system, because the audio is also amazing. There is one boss on the game that is optional, the anchor, that has given lots of people issues with their cards, both here and other platforms, but that's not a GoG issue, but the developer's. If you encounter this issue and want to defeat it, I recommend putting a ticket with Remedy. I did got over it through reducing the graphics settings, but I'm not so sure it has been patched yet. I beat this twice and wish there was a sequel at some point in the future.

Awesome game

Gameplay is top notch. The controls/abilities are great, side content is great, the storytelling is nice (it was interesting enough that I read all of the little details/notes I found), and there are some endearing characters that you meet along the way. Combat can be a little challenging which I love (going to do some challenge runs myself), but if you just want to enjoy the content you can toggle difficulty via accessibility settings without any penalty The graphics/art direction is pretty awesome too and the DLSS+Ray Tracing is in the top tier of implementation. - PS bonus content here https://www.gog.com/forum/control/how_to_unlock_the_the_preorderplaystation_outfits_bonus_mission Below are my negatives: - Lack of multiple saves. *WARNING*: After you beat the game, do not use Mission Select unless you want to go back to lose progress (if you go back to chapter 2 for example, you will only have what you had back in chapter 2). I recommend just keeping a spare save file outside the game if you want to jump around. Unfortunate inconvenience, but thankful for the freedom of PC gaming here. - Crash on a certain side boss involving clocks. The easiest fix to the crash I found is below: "Obeliskoid on the Nvidia Discord found a fix. There are two .dll files in the game directory. platform_rdwin10_f.dll. (a bad opcode here is causing the crash) and platform_rdwin7_f.dll. Back-up your rdwin10 file. Rename platform_rdwin7_f.dll to platform_rdwin10_f.dll to overwrite the windows 10 file. This fixed the crash for me. Not sure if it breaks anything else but you could always put the original rdwin10 file back after the boss fight." - Can't remove depth of field. I normally turn depth of field and motion blur off on pretty much every game I play, but there is no file or in-game setting to turn off DOF. DOF in this game isn't very intrusive in this game like others so I'd consider this a very minor gripe. Overall great!

Mastered Level Design and Gameplay

That's one of those game you wish you can forgot you play them to discover them all over again. This is en TPS where you play Jesse exploring the Federal Bureau Of Control. An immense building with paranormal event. In fact, it's inspired of the SCP fundation, a website collecting strange story about object and people doing wierd thing like paranormal thing but more scary. The gameplay is smooth and intuitive as hell. You can shoot, cover up, throw elements of the decors at your enemies, even the enemies themself. You have different kind of weapons that you unlock through the game, same for some capacties that you will unlock exploring the bureau and completing sidequests. So its very important to explore. I must say it's very satisfying to fight and the progression feeling is really awesome. The story is coherant and really make sense with the gameplay. The voice acting (english version) is good. The game and level desgin is incredible : you can feel remedy put an effort building the bureau. Some of the visual are so cool you just stop and start looking around just to appreciate the view. I recommand you explore all the bureau, because you will find letter and document that will tell you more about the bureau and what's hapening there. If you don't you will miss a lot of thing about the universe of the game. The staging also is great, some part where you play are just like musical-shooter are just awesome. Some blackspot : i had a lot, like one every two hours or less, crashes... maybe it's because my pc isn't strong enough but well. If you don't like reading you will miss a big part of the story of the game. To upgrade your weapons you have to found ressources dropped on enemies. So you have to go back in previous zone and it could be a little repetitive and grinding. A game with a strong gameplay and level design, a good story and a incredible staging. If you don't mind a little grinding and paranormal/spooky story, This is the game for you.
