What if David Lynch made the Matrix?
Overall, Control shines most brightly when it capitalizes on using its visuals and gameplay to create this "David Lynch meets Matrix" experience. If that sounds interesting to you, then you'll be in for a good time. The core controls are pretty much in-line with what you expect from a 3rd person shooter. The movement can be floaty / off at times, but the enemy AI is usually pretty lenient so that it doesn't matter. Standing still is definitely not recommended. This isn't a cover based shooter. Visually gorgeous, the game features a variety of enemies and environments. The boss fights are on the disappointing end of the scale, but the mini-bosses tend to be a good combination of main enemy and trash mob spawn. A lot of ability functionality is locked behind keystone progression tree perks and come too late in the game. Something like energy regenerating while you hold an object or being able to launch multiple objects at once all should come much earlier than they do. The loot/gear acquisition/progression is also one big RNG grindfest. Think of the worst lootboxes out there, and that's what the core progression pretty much boils down to. The silver lining here is that there isn't any monetization of the RNG. Overall, the progression doesn't seem thought through. But it's nothing that a bit of manual course correction either via save-file editing or CheatEngine won't fix. The DLC content is alright. The maps reuse some existing structures from the base game, but nothing terribly major. The collectibles and writing are all pretty good, and the voice acting is solid from everyone. The Alan Wake DLC is "only" ok if you, like me, haven't played any Alan Wake games before, since I'm sure all the clever tie-ins would greatly enhance the experience. The Foundation DLC seems short and underdeveloped compared to the base game, but still worth playing through at least once. Overall, I'm glad to have played it. Maybe wait for a sale to get it though.
