On par with Half Life

I kind of stumbled on Control as I had not heard of it before (shame on me) and had pretty low expectation on enjoyment and engagement. I was totally wrong. Like all good games with certain depth, Control is a game best enjoyed slowly, taking in and savoring the moments. The story builds-up and the first few hours can feel a bit slow and less meaningful before the shooting meshes with the story. There is an interesting sci-fi story layered on top of a very good shooter with a few unique and innovative mechanics and the acting quality is superb. Level design absolutely stands out from other games and size of levels are both detailed while massive to get lost in and vary greatly such as the Rock Quarry and the labyrinth. Fighting is not impossibly difficult or frustrating except a few boss fights in side missions. But it makes one come back for more as the weapons can be tailored and upgraded regularly. The game developers know when to break away the tension with hilarious moments like cleaning up coffee mugs. There are "multimedia" files strewn around the facility which depict Federal Bureau of Control employees giving instructional, educational or singing on camera (Dr. Darling I'm looking at you). Overall, a very enjoyable, engaging, creative and original game elevated by good script, acting and singing (yeah, I'd buy it again just for the Sony Walkman and mix-tape moment). Definitely recommended, even at full price.

Amazing Video Game

The game has an excellent story from beginning to end. Sometimes it has parts and scenarios that are scary. Its graphic section is perfect. the Gunplay is the best I have played in many years. If you want a different experience, this game I recommend it 100%.

Control is an illusion

TL;DR - It's worth playing the campaign for the experience, but I'm not sure I'll be back for the replay. This is a polished gaming experience. It's immersive until you realize that the enemies are... zombies. Yes, this is another zombie invasion game. The story helps to stave off reality until it becomes a device to further the game's mechanics. I'm giving Control 4 stars largely because the trappings are crafted with such care. The gameplay itself is fun. Levitating and tossing stuff around like a Jedi Knight is undeniably exciting for the first few hundred pitches. But the real value is the game-world itself. The details included in the puzzles and explorable areas--the notes you pick up while trying to figure out what started the cataclysm, the guffaw-worthy video reels playing in the deserted spaces (I'm sure they're deserted so you don't feel embarrassed to spend 3 min watching a guy make a fool of himself spouting trekno-babble)--all combine to keep you moving through the campaign, even as the fights and story wear thin. In spite of the predictable fights, you won't always get what you expect. There are hidden gems of inexplicable mayhem that will delight you. It's got action, adventure, paranormal events, morbid humor, and a touch of horror. It's not a fairy tale, so don't expect it to act like one. Control is enjoyable in it's own way, and it definitely takes it's own route to the finish line.

Everything great but story

Graphics: great Gameplay: fun, enough variety to not get old, although most guns suck Story: I typical case of "The king is naked" - people praise it because it is weird and different, but in reality it just does not make any sense. I loved Alan Wake and Quantum Break stories. Value: worth it on sale Personally, I am disappointed, expected way more given the universal praise. I guess I am a sucker for good story with good presentation.

Ok gameplay, fun Story and buggy

A very standard third person action adventure set in the, quite intrigueing, Alan Wake universe. Gameplay is...well, everything you'd expect from a third person actioner, they added a light looter shooter aspect where you can upgrade your guns with mods you loot. The usual weapon types ; Regular, Sniper, Shotty, Grenade launcher.... It's all decent, works fine. You got some powers too, telekinesis, levitate and stuff like that. So...gameplay is solid, fine, ok Story is fun with good acting, music is solid, graphics are solid. again, game is solid. Now technically, despite the graphics being nothing THAT special the game is very demanding, I am playing in 1080p on a 1080ti so that is a bit ...unusual. So the port seems to be a bit unoptimised. The game crashed for me every few hours, not too bad, but still, for a YEAR old game still to have that, very disappointing and it also makes another bug worse. Achievements (if you care, if not please just skip and don't complain to me how achievements are stupid and unnecessary, thank you) are bugged, many of the cumulative achievements (find 120 collectibles, cleanse 25 control points, do 15 side missions, etc) don't work as they should. The game resets the counter on reload. So the only ways to get them are playing through the whole game in one sitting (remember the crashes I mentioned, yeah, good luck with that) or use cheat engine and find the counter address to change it. Even after that, the get all achievements achievement does not unlock. Having 99% the game (missing that one achievement :P ) I am a bit suprised about all the praise the game got. Now don't get me wrong, it is good, but good in like 8/10 territory, not a solid 10 many review sites gave it. I actually like Alan Wake better to be honest. Recommended, but curb your expectations.
