CONTROL Ultimate Edition

Supernatural universe with a protagonist who develops abilities through progression. Narrative and characters are well done. Initially quite difficult but the player can tweak difficulty at will. Achievement-hunting can be tedious gathering collectibles and setting up repetitive conditions needed to collect some of them. Cinematic with ‘superheroish’ abilities. Appreciated the humor. After acquiring it heavily discounted during last summer sale, I decided not to play the sequel: it’s not my cup of tea. No regrets playing this, though. It’s clearly a quality game by all means.

Caralho, que jogão! 10/10

[h1]6.8/10[/h1] [u][h2]Control[/h2][/u] [b] <Best of TPS/shooty-shooty-bang> [/b] +++++ [b]Destructible Environments[/b]: Northlight engine is exquisite. Vast amount of physics objects, destructible foundations, dynamic light sources is staggering. And with the level design focusing on it, this is easily the best part of the game. All with good performance on PC. Couldn't say the same if they've used Unreal. ++++ [b]The Oldest House[/b]: The most important character in the game is the environment itself. The game goes hard on its level design, being inspired by brutalism and surrealism without sacrificing believability. Usually non-eucladian structures like these are used as a excuse to not care about consistency yet in this metroidvania-like game, the map and levels stuck in my head from start to finish. +++ [b]Combat and Difficulty[/b]: The game was a power fantasy (it's not hard) without being boring throughout the playthrough. I especially liked the "expeditions", testing the combat's limit. This couldn't happen with a healthy dose of different enemy types. All of the strengths of this game hinges on gameplay and abilities being fun, and it is. + [b]<THE BOARD>[/b]: <It is obligatory/cool as ♥♥♥♥>. - [b]Too much lore[/b]: Most of the notes you'll find are about the minutiae of Federal Bureau of Control. There are some fun ideas in there but when they find a paranormal activity, they make it a point to at least have 3 different pages about it with the same information. If you like SCP, you'll feel right at home. I just wish they edited down to like -30%. -- [b]Slow Plot[/b]: The entire plot can be summed as the protaganist coming the terms with being the director. But that's it, i can't tell you what are the turning points in her journey because nothing that happens in the game connects as a larger story. We also had a story about our origin which doesn't go anywhere. -- [b]Jesse and most of the cast[/b]: Related to the plot, i didn't connect with any of the characters in the story, human ones anyway. Jesse feels like a nothing character and the game focusing so much on story so this hurts extra bad. This suprises me because every character in max payne was memorable and written in a manner Remedy couldn't replicate since. --- [b]AAA design staples[/b]: This game didn't need filler sidequests, pointless crafting, timed missions or item rankings. But it does have them. Whenever i come across these it feels like designers are treating me like a pavlovian dog. Sucks out the joy. [u]Other Thoughts[/u] *DLCs are not that good. If the main game is a 6, they are 5. *Try using dx11 if you are having pop up issues like i did. It fixed for me.

ЧЁ ЗА БАГАНАЯ ♥♥♥♥♥

Lindississimo

I've been through this game and I don't regret a bit. At first, the game seems kind of strange, but then it gets so addictive that you can't stop, you want to find out what's really going on there. The fights are just fire! It's not just shooting, you can throw everything you can at your enemies, and this makes every encounter fun and exciting. The atmosphere is also top. The darkness and mysteries keep pulling me to look around the next corner. I liked the additions too, especially the way they expand the main story. I won't say that the game is for everyone, sometimes the plot is confusing, like a ball of thread. But if you're a fan of unusual games with a cool atmosphere and interesting gameplay, it's definitely worth a try!
