Control sees Remedy Entertainment coming back in full force with a strange, intriguing and action packed narrative adventure that puts you in the shoes of Jesse Faden. It’s easily among Remedy’s finest work in terms of world building, visual and sound design. You enter the Federal Bureau of Control seeking answers regarding supernatural events at your home town, and to find your brother. Soon you are deeply embroiled in something that feels far beyond your control.
I expected the game’s location the FBC building to feel small and repetitive really soon, but the way the layout has been designed is outright fascinating, and offers a lot of variety. The building is hiding deep secrets, and exploration and discovery is immensely satisfying. The combat is also really well done, with solid gunplay, fun super powers, and fast movement. Overall, Control is a well rounded package, and well worth your time and money.
Pros:
Looks great
Captivating story
Great level design
Odd and personable characters
Frantic and fluid combat
Cons:
Some aiming issues
Minor performance hiccups
Score – 9/10
