Great gameplay, compelling story, loads of fun and interesting lore, easter eggs. Excellent performances by the cast. Maybe some of the encounter fights feeling repetitive at times, but on sufficiently hard difficulty, the fights were both challenging and sufficently varied in my opinion. And when it was a tad repetitive, it just gave opportunity to play around with all the different powers.
I have been playing videogames for over 30 years now, and it's not easy to genuinely surprise me with some clever ideas and plot twists. Control managed that. It's really buggy, more than it should be. Several freezes, black screens, quests not completing. But it's a story made properly, by very competent storywriters. The characters are greatly written, the dialogues are good, the exploration is great and rewarding. So it's surely a great game.
The developers truly made a one of a kind game with this gem.
I keep coming back to it even after a few years. Must have played it on every platform by now.
