Confusing to the point of frustrating

The story and gameplay mechanics is enough to keep you going. The gamepad controls using XBOX Series Controller are great and movement is easy. Can't comment on keyboard/mouse. The world of Control is confusing but they went a bit too "realistic" and made the game actually confusing. It was hard to enjoy at certain times. There is weak cognitive correlation in the game where it is difficult for the player to identify which action results to what. You are left guessing what to do more than half the time with vague and poorly worded missions. Some items needed to complete a mission are ridiculously hidden beyond the line of sight and there is no natural way for the player to look towards that direction. Whether the game devs thought they were being clever or not, it was unnecessarily frustrating for what's supposed to be a simple side-mission (i.e. Burn the Trash). It wasn't even a "puzzle". The item placement was just simply stupid. The game has very poor navigation aid and the map greatly adds to the confusion with no identifiable legends to mark different floor levels in the same area leading you to go around in circles for a good amount of time. For anyone looking for a game to chill to, this is probably not it. Losing 10% of money every death also makes it a game with lots of grinding. If you're not willing to dedicate the time to it, you will likely be heading to YouTube a lot.

Tried three times to finish...

The save will become corrupted and I cannot finish the game. Every time. Waste of time and money.

Crash to desktop every 10mins

May update my review if they ever fix the game. Both the Steam and GoG versions apparently have serious stability issues. Some people have very reproducible crashes during a particular boss fight...I can't get past about the 30 minute mark in the game since it just randomly crashes when interacting with objects, walking through an empty corridor, pausing the game... Not an issue with my hardware. This is a pretty widespread problem and I've not had this problem with other graphically intensive games. None of the suggested fixes have helped, so if they don't eventually patch it I'll just return the game; it's unplayable like this. Can't review the rest of the game because I can't get to it.

Great game, horrible technical issues

The game is nice, story is interesting, mechanics good. CRASHES EVERY 5 MINS!!!!!!!!! On lowest settings with adequate hardware, even when the game runs smoothly on good settings. At some point it crashed out during saving and corrupted the files. Downloading backup from GOG did not help, had to restart a mission. Good that there was at least and option to do that, not to have to start the game over after going halfway into it. 2 stars because of original story and gameplay

Good ideas, bad design

Pros: - Very pretty - Good concept - Mostly delivers on the initial promise of weird - Some of the boss fights were enjoyable Cons: - Pointless CP system, just let me save normally - Punishes players for dying - Multiple actions mapped on the same key by default - The use action requires a second long key holding for no reason - Combat is completely imbalanced, launch is way OP - Which is further compounded by undisableable auto aim when using it - Combat is bland and flows the same regardless of what I'm fighting and where I'm fighting - Full of unnecessary, tedious random encounters, compounded by the previous point - Lots of boring "go to a place, press a button" types of side quests, the worst of which are the cleaning missions in Investigations where you literally just have to wander around areas to spot specific, hidden things - Boring writing, bland, uninteresting player character and NPC-s and at one point there was narration that had zilch to do with what was going on in the game - In some puzzles there's somebody nagging you every 30 seconds, essentially saying "hey, have you solved the puzzle yet?" Had to turn down dialogue volume to 0 to cope. In one instance the NPC actually started backseat gaming and telling me where to go. - Completely uninspired crafting/resource system of random drops of resources that basically differ in their names - Compounded by the fact that you get 2 weapon slots so after you have 2 guns you like you are no longer motivated to spend time and resources on building the rest - Enemy spawning is sometimes completely unfair, you open a door while routinely moving from A to B, and boom, 70% of your health is gone because an enemy appears in your face Overall: After the initial concept was set the game design team just layed back and thought it'd carry the game so they can be lazy. It shows. I do not recommend spending money on this game.
