Control

Control is mostly a boring game without many mechanics (compared to Saints Row, GTA, Just Cause, Sunset Overdrive and so on). No character customization and Jesse is so uninteresting. The Soundtrack is also not remarkable.

Control is a good game for those who prefer Twin Peaks over superhero shooters.

I didn't fall in love with it right away. The first few hours are dry: offices, hallways, a strange director's chair, and the feeling that the game is more important than the fun. Then the building begins to live by its own rules, and the purpose of it all becomes clear. The ancient building unfolds like a TV show that can't be retold spoiler-free: department after department, case after case, objects from the next room suddenly reveal themselves to be myths.

A very interesting game the telepathy mechanic & environmental destruction is fun. The story and world building is solid not perfect, but solid. Just a very unique game, wish more developers would take chances like this. Worth your time, if unsure wait for a sale.

Quite a specific game. Just like “The Master and Margarita” - at first it’s hard to understand what’s what, but then it’s addictive. The plot is very interesting, the battles are difficult at first, but then you get used to it: alternating telekinesis and a revolver - and all problems are solved.

One of my first large-scale games, which greatly influenced my perception, so I may not be entirely honest. From a gameplay point of view, the game is fascinating; I can’t compare with anything the feeling when you tear off and throw a fragment of the environment at the enemy. Shooting is not implemented in the best way, but it is not the basis of the combat system. The plot is written at the level of “better than good, but a masterpiece is like the moon.” The setting of secret government agencies itself is extremely attractive to me. I recommend the game to those who like to play with telekinesis and other paranormal things.
