A buggy Mess
It pains me to say that you should stay away from this game even at a sale price. There are good ideas here, ruined by a publisher that simply does not care about consumers. The concept of the game is based loosely on the SCP collection, in that it centers around a secret government agency that hides the various anomalies and strange objects that threaten reality. The main character finds the agency, and its bizarre headquarters, The Oldest House searching for her brother, who was kidnapped when they were children. Grpahically, the game is nothing special, but it has solid voice acting, plot development and progression, which can make the player excuse a lot. There are some truly inexcusible problems, however. First, there's the dispicable practices of the publishers. Control was originally released as a finished product. Then, out of the blue, it was re-released with DX-12 support. Those who bought the original, and the expansion, were simply told to buy the new release if they wanted what should have been done in a patch. Worse yet, the game was buggy upon release and most of those bugs either simply haven't been addressed, and more bugs have cropped up since. So on top of a cynical cash grab, they can't even be bothered to hammer out the problems of the original. Instabilities abound. Some of the boss battles have terminal bugs that will either crash your computer or make it so that you cannot complete them. The publisher has not addressed any of these. You can spend a few hours hunting around the internet for various fixes, but honestly, it's not worth it.
