Easily one of the best games of the 2010s. If you have any interest in supernatural fiction (eg SCPs, X-Files, etc) and physics based action shooters, give it a shot.
I actually discovered SCP because of this game.
What an absolute steal! Control is worth every penny, even at full price. Don't skip this one.
Had it on Epic and now bought it on Steam because fuck Epic launcher.
Very much recommend this game.
Game is good. All DLC included here makes this a steal.
Going against the grain, I found this game dull with simple mechanics that didn't upgrade. Gave it five hours of pistol/telekinesis combo. Plus wandering around the mostly dry office building setting - I gave up. The infected? zones had nice graphics but that was a pretty minor part of the game.
The story and atmosphere is what really elevates it more than the gameplay.
Yeah, the story, atmosphere, and world building is why I finished the game. I'm looking at the TTRPG Triangle Agency. Visually, it shares some atmospheric characteristics to Control.
Also TAA
The brutalist architecture, running around making a mess of all the ordered offices, telekinesis! Awesome vibes. The DLCs weren't my cup of tea though.
Control and Alan Wake are the only reason I even have a favorite game studio, and probably the only one I'd actually do a pre-order with just to support development.
Id buy them both again if I could
What's the latest on the Control sequel? Feel like I heard rumblings about it some years back.
No love for FBC: Firebreak?
I do not have any solid information on Control 2
Ohmy, where have I been? Never heard of Firebreak! Thank you!
Edit: Multiplayer...that's why it wasn't on my radar.
It’s doable solo, especially on easier modes, but I mostly play with my one friend, games support up to 3 players. They’re releasing a big rebalance and change to how the lobby works in a month or two. It’s not a huge in depth game and it’s very light on lore but I have a blast playing it
I gotta finish this game. Has been postponing coz Alan Wake DLC was way more spooky than the main one.
