Good Game, Dishonest Release
Control is like most Remedy Entertainment games: interesting but repetitive shooter/movement mechanics, good music, a few interesting characters dropped into a serviceable story, and quirky humor sprinkled throughout. I completed the main game and one of the two DLCs on Steam in 36 hours, doing all the side missions and getting most of the hundreds of collectibles. Pros: -No health regeneration, except at save points. Instead, the player gets small health chunks from damaging enemies. This leads to a tense but fun combat: is it better to move into the open to get health from downed enemies, or try and fight from cover with low health? -I thought the 1960's aesthetic and Brutalist architectural set-pieces were gorgeous; but your taste might differ. Exploring the Oldest House after gaining the power of flight is a great experience by itself. Cons: -Excessive grind. Loot drops to level up Jesse's powers and gun come from: main story missions, side missions, enemy wave arcade missions, jukebox expeditions, randomized emergency alert missions, board countermeasures, random encounters... -Of the six gun modes, the base pistol mode [Grip] is the most versatile. The other five options are nice to have but why bother? -I rarely used any of the psychic powers except launch and dodge. Combat is usually: 1) launch objects to destroy enemy shield, 2) shoot enemy in the face, 3) dodge incoming attacks, 4) launch objects again while gun recharges, etc. Lies: Control released on Epic Games with a one year exclusivity deal. I refuse to support Epic or their business partners so I waited. Official tweet from @ControlRemedy on 2019-03-18 said "There are no plans at this stage to release the game via @GOGcom", so I reluctantly bought it on Steam on 2020-08-27. What happens a mere two weeks after the Steam launch? For sale on GOG! I understand situations change, but I would have never purchased on Steam if there were even rumours of an upcoming GOG release.
