Saving system is horrible

I've just completed Unknown Caller mission and have unlocked using skill points, Shatter weapon and such. Now onto the next mission in the Maintenance Sector. Upon loading into this level, my character could not move, I could not access either the main menu or the loadouts menu. I could not do anything at all other than to force close the game. I launched the game again and continued, only to find my progress wiped and back to before the Tomassi fight. You're telling me the game didn't save at all between the fight and after finishing the mission? (I dunno maybe an hour or more). I also backtracked to open clearance level 1 loots and you're telling me I have to do it all again? I'm afraid the result will be the same, so I just won't bother. Shame, I was enjoying the gameplay.

Great game, terrible version.

I played control on a different platform before. The Ultimate Edition on GOG has problems with saves. If you die, the most recent save is deleted and sends you to the previous save. If you quit the game, the recent save is deleted and it sends you to a previous save. I wanted to re-play the game to finish the DLCs, but I can't.

Rare 10/10 Game... For Me

I was blown away by how much I enjoyed this game. For me, it tickles that part of my brain the loves conspiracy theories, UFO stories, and government cover-ups. It reaches through history in a way that fascinates me. The gameplay is excellent, the map is absolutely huge, and story is fascinating. I read every single meme/note I found, listened to every audio recording, watched every single video, and felt like I really got to know "The Oldest House". It's not too long of a game, I played through it in about 30 hours with a lot of exploration and completed both the DLCs. I thoroughly enjoyed them both but the game was left open ended. I hope we get a sequel to follow-up regarding Jesse Faden and The Board to really tie off the open ends. I also wouldn't mind more of an explanation of Ahti as well. Though, partly there is a fear that if we get it, it won't live up to expectations. This is one of those rare Half-Life level stories that may never get another game. Part of me would miss it but part of me would be a bit glad of it since I don't know that a follow-up could live up to this game. I waited till it came out on GOG, I am aware of the somewhat "scummy" moves by the publisher around this edition of the game and I was never a fan of them being an Epic exclusive like they were. This is not meant to be a review of a lousy publisher, it's meant to be a review of a really great game. Now that it is on better platforms, and if you are like me you really wanted to play it and have held off till now, this to me is a must buy.

Good surreal action game

The game's pretty good overall, it has some rough edges here and there which makes me give 4 stars The action in the game is pretty intense, but it becomes a bit repetitive with mostly the same enemies over and over The experience is quite surreal, the story, the setting, and some of the quirks of the game are a very unique experience The graphics are superb, with a lot of attention to even some slightest details Now for the rough edges, in addition to the kinda repetitive gameplay, the music is quite meh-ish save for a couple of parts. I also encountered some bugs during my gameplay, like Jesse turning invisible, textures getting blurry and constant crashes in the battle against the Anchor mini-boss

Beat the encore !

A really enjoyable game. A very pleasant surprise. Action exploration, a bizarre atmosfear, a solid lore. It's been a long time since I finished a game with the feeling of "oh shit, it's over... damn I still want to continue". Of course there is content, we can continue with the DLCs (with links to the Alan Wake series) which gives a solid playing time (30-40 hours). A well-illustrated feeling arriving at the end credits of the main story, with this excellent song by Porpucine Tree <3 fitting perfectly with the overall atmosphere : beat the encore !
