Giddy action and astonishing art design combine in one of the great locations of modern video games.

4.5/5 stars
Control offers over-the-top action, a bizarre but interesting story, and a focus on fun over realism that helps solidify it as one of the year's best.

Beautiful, Shallow, Bad Business
This game is a beautiful showcase of RTX technology and has fantastic art direction. The lore found around the world is intriguing, but it's genre and delivery draw unfavorable comparisons to the SCP project, with their better formatting and delivery that isn't piecemeal. The gameplay very lackluster in my opinion, with grindy upgrade drops, boring weapon variations, a core gameplay loop that remains pretty static, and enemy variation that only varies by adding health, adding damage, or adding an immunity to one method of dealing damage (out of your whopping two). Remedy have made clowns of themselves recently: epic timed exclusivity, lying about where the game would launch post-exclusivity, limiting the console version's "free" next-gen upgrade to an ultimate edition that had not yet released with no upgrade path for those that already owned the game (dlc or not).

I can't play on GOG
I can't play on GOG my pc i5 12600k 3070ti. When I press enter the game, the screen goes black and the game closes by itself. But I was able to play normally until the end of the game on EPIC I don't understand.

A Good Game Marred by Politics
It's been a while in the waiting, but Control has finally dropped and it is everything I wanted (so far) for it to be: foreboding, atmospheric, and d**n pretty on the eyes. (Not that that has any real bearing on my review; it's just nice to know that my RTX card finally has something to do.) The controls are nothing to write home about but I mean that in the best way possible. They feel much like any other TPS and are fluid enough to make the player feel like any deaths received are not the fault of clunky or unresponsive controls. The colour palette is an interesting blend of concrete, blood and blinding white light - all of which reinforce the brutalist architecture of The Oldest House and helps reinforce the theme of a fish way, way out of water. I have read some reviews describing the acting as, generously, wooden. This would be a complaint of mine were it not for the fact that this game wears its references on its sleeve. The acting couldn't be more out of Twin Peaks or Requiem For a Dream if it tried - again reinforcing this atmosphere of "something" being wrong with the world. The largest source of reference, to anyone in the know, comes from the SCP Wiki. In my opinion, the Federal Bureau of Control is what happens when the Unexplained Instances Unit gets the funding it needs and has the firepower to make the SCP Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition turn the other way. (Check out the wiki articles and The Exploring Series on Youtube if what I just typed has gone completely over your head.) This game is probably one of the most foreboding (which does not mean scary) games I have played in a long time. It's a shame that the developers decided to let Epic have it for a year. Had it been released on all platforms last year it could have generated more buzz. It's still a great title, but in my opinion should only be purchased on sale. The developers need to know that we will not tolerate turning the PC market into another console market.

control ultimate edition
i cannot even play the game . G O G in there great wisdom gives me the error message ...cpu not compatable, does support sse 4.2 ....whatever that is ? so they let me buy the game, install gog, and then install the game, only to get this error message ! what a waste of time and money ! a list of games that need sse 4.2 would be a sensible idea, so we know not to buy these games, until we have upgraded....but that would be TOO sensible. i will stick to STEAM oin future !
