控制 终极版

navigation is a mess. the map gets boring after a while. the same building assets are re-used and its confusing to find where to go or what to do

1st the good: The visuals are great - clean, striking, just waiting to be trashed by explosions, bullets, & telekinetic powers; piles of clutter blast across the room with every impact, chaos in the orderly halls of the FBC. Details humanize the FBC & add life to an otherwise stark place. When Control works, it WORKS, & luckily Go-go-gadget-blunt-force-trauma is as effective as it is satisfying. <3 Dr. Darling. Ran on Linux Proton 9.0-3, DX11. Unfortunately it doesn't always work, & by the time I beat the game & DLC I felt more frustrated than satisfied. My core issue is the difficulty scaling/balance: It sucks, as soon as Control runs out of new enemies to intro. Tougher ones (& most bosses) are identical, just with more HP & damage. HP bars and levels are distracting & unimmersive but without them it's impossible to tell what identical enemies are more of a threat. Astral Spikes are only scary until you realize how easy they are to ignore. Launch >> everything else, as raw damage is king & they don't scale enough with enemy HP. The gun is trash except Pierce/Charge. Some mods help, but too late to matter; most are garbage, especially the stupidly specific DLC mods, & they make for awful, needless inventory management. Missions aren't worth the travel time; Countermeasures too, unless you abuse the free reroll to get good rewards for the area you're already in. Puzzles suck; the solution is often right next to it, or characters just say it out loud. Overall I found the story contrived & "tell don't show". Jesse's too happy risking her life for cardboard cutout characters who kidnapped her brother, like the "badass" Marshall who doesn't do 1 cool thing the entire game, or Arish who claims to be busy while rooted in place parroting the same lines again and again. The map (terrible, doesn't even reflect reality) is the only thing usable on the move, leaving me stuck in a menu for 2' of audio or Trench/Marshall/Wake/Board talking vaguely over a repetitive slideshow.

It's a fantastic, thematic game that pulls you in, lets you the player learn more about the world as you play along and explore an Eldritch 1950s base that gets progressively weirder the deeper you go. The only problem in my opinion is the game grinding mechanic outpaces the story telling. I started to feel that if I wanted to play the game completely, I wound up wandering into combats that had no story and so broke tension of the story. EG, the first time you meet an artifact that kills a Bureau agent, it's thematic. The eighth time, it starts to feel a little formulaic. Great game overall and focuses on the mood over the plot.

The game is really bugged on certain systems, 5900x 3080Ti and game runs flawlessly then you start combat and the game hard freezes and completely freeze your computer forcing you to hard restart your PC if you can't ctrl+alt+del in time. Looked on reddit, a month old post with 38 replies everyone bugging in there, with people with 9800X3D and 5090 suffering stutter, hard freeze and more. And I was just getting into it starting to have fun.

Love this game from Remedy. Gameplay is engaging and upgrades are obtained at a reasonable pace. Only flaw to me is that the environments are pretty dull and repetitive. Basically, everything looks alike.
