Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of this genre at all (my impressions are based on watching videos that occasionally appear on my feed). But a few days ago I came across a quite interesting video with a selection of combat scenes from Control that impressed me, and I decided to give it a try, considering that once upon a time, when the grass was greener and there wasn’t much choice, I hung out in Max Payne.
Yesterday I finished the story and all the additional quests in this game. This is a MASTERPIECE!!! I was so stuck in it that I sat at the computer for several days, occasionally leaving to add coffee and go to the toilet. From the very beginning, the plot seemed like a detective investigation to me, but as it progressed, everything changed, the investigation did not disappear, it included family drama, paranormalism, crazy NPCs, hallucinations, and the most bomb of all - a changeable environment.
For those who, like me, are not fans of this genre, I advise you to play through it, but remember: after this game you are unlikely to find anything else to please yourself with in this genre... I’ll try to look into the Quantum Rift, maybe I’m wrong.
