CONTROL Ultimate Edition

Graphically, the game is average—bordering on poor—because everything looks blurry during gameplay, from the text on doors and walls to the character faces. The dialogue is very poor, and the gameplay is neither good nor bad. I didn't understand the story even after six hours of play, but there was a discount—I think it cost two and a half dollars—so I don't feel like I lost much on such a small amount.

Very good game with an outstanding and distinctive story. The world design also is standing out to a point that the building where the story takes place is a character in its own right. Gunplay and telekinesis powers are top tier and well served by a good enemy Ai. On the bad side, character models are not the best, especially the protagonist who is very ugly in game. Looking at her, I always fear her lower jaw would come off her face at any moment. Weird. Another flaw is when the protagonist talks to a character, the player will "hear" her thoughts on the matter discussed. It happens with a weird close-up on her eyes and most of the time, these sentiments are absolutely uninteresting. That just doesn't work. Also keep in mind that Control is a game where player is asked to read a lot. It's a S.C.P game (horror subgenre which consists of studying paranormal, supernatural, and other mysterious phenomena through litterature, while also keeping their existence hidden from society -wikipedia-). One can of course play without reading anything but they will miss so much that it wouldn't make any sense.
