One of the best gameplay mechanics out there, really fun and engaging combat. Also, great story plot!
Great story thus far, interesting powers and enemies. It's kept me entertained, which is getting harder and harder the older I get!
This game is engrossing, intriguing and occasionally frustrating. It's part shooter, part sci-fi, part lysergic adventure, part detective game. It also has a few puzzles, wonderful visuals and various personal and weapon power ups/modifications to explore along the way.
If you enjoy films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and THX1138, you will probably appreciate the mysterious visual and auditory elements of the game, which at times can be quite dream-like. Using a combination of different types of gun, shield, telekinesis and levitation you will fight your way through a series of increasingly challenging opponents (some of which can't be killed/destroyed) until you reach the final end sequence, where....[censored to avoid spoilers].
I found Control to be highly addictive. Be warned, you will lose many evenings of your life playing this. The main storyline is good, you will meet some interesting characters and there are plenty of side missions to soak up even more of your time. The controls can be a little fiddly but that's probably the only negative aspect of the game.
Visually striking and utterly absorbing, this is a worthy addition to anyone's Steam library.
Lot of fun. Only complaint is that I spent a lot of time wandering because the maps were a little obtuse.
Really enjoyed this one, did all missions, DLCs, collectibles, achievements.
Some thoughts:
- The setting of the Bureau, the story and all the paranormal stuff was interesting
- The main weapon (and all its forms) and all your powers made you feel powerful and allowed for some flexibility in the fights. Some enemies were a bit bullet-spongy though
- Jesse has some potato dialogue lines but most of it is good
- The mouths of characters look kinda weird when they're talking, the teeth look plastic but otherwise the game looks good
- There's also some other minor annoying things, like the inventory being too small for no reason and some mods being completely useless
- The minimap could be a bit better, sometimes it's difficult to tell what is on what floor since it all overlaps
- The skill tree could be more interesting, it's mostly +20% max HP/energy/dmg
- I liked the character movement, it felt very responsive, then you add all the powers and it didn't feel like a slog even when backtracking. Not having a stamina bar for sprinting was also a good idea
- The Foundation DLC adds some history of the whole thing which I liked
- AWE DLC is more of the same so if you liked the main game you will probably like this too. Also, if you're a fan of Alan Wake this might be for you too
- It ran great, no crashes in 45h, no random frame drops. Played this on Linux (Fedora Kinoite)
gameplay is great. pace and progression is not overwhelming. the story can be a bit confusing at first but let it cook
Excellent, both story and character buildings.
bought this game a few months back with the intent of playing in order from max payne to alan wake onto control then alan wake 2, just finished it finally and holy smokes i'm massively impressed, I love Remedy's use of TV and other media inside of the game to further drive the plot and it always just looks and reacts amazingly, the story while confusing in its details overall was easy to follow and an absolute blast, the mechanics, scenery, and combat were all absolute joys to play with throughout the game and the DLC, AWE and The Foundation were exemplary in tying into Remedy's next project (AW2) and tying up the end of Control itself, Overall 9/10 Hiss Riddled Bureau Agents
Graphics are still beautiful in 2024, and a very unique and well acted story. I ratchet the difficulty down quite a bit on this one as I just want to enjoy the exploring and story so its great they include customizable options for that.
It's an amazing game, a phenomenal story. It is crazy how they get all the ideas and the visuals out of this universe!!!
First game I ever 100%!
Story is very good and gameplay is superb. Really immersive and spooks the shit out of my younger brother - which is a plus. Achievement hunting is a bit of a grind towards the end but it was fun seeing the hidden and weird things the developers put in the game.
9/10. Definitely a fan of Remedy after this one.
Great game that is in a sense a showcase of RT's capabilities. I'm a big fan of Control-like level design and open-corridor gameplay instead of open-world. I had a great time, but the game became monotonous and I had enough.
level designs and atmosphere was incredibly artistic. universe, lore and plot is pretty distanced from players but was intriguing and creative. game mostly stands up with it's scenery and visual arts. combat is fun but hell of a repetitive. game is a technical disaster; you can't fix the blurry textures problem, even with mods and fps drops happen in big sceneries even with a relatively nice computer.
its rare for a game to make the collectables interesting enough for me to wanna read them, but the story in this one makes it worth it. was fun to 100% <3
This is an awesome game. I'd say for the unique story / setting and atomosphere, it is already a must-play. Storytelling is as we all know the wheelhouse of Remedy, this definitely shows in Control. There are some nice innovative storytelling ideas. The game has humour and creates an all-around friendly atmosphere.
Gameplay/Gunplay wise it feels a little clunky at first and I needed some time to get into it, but once you unlock more and more abilities and get some practice, fights get really fun and rewarding, although maybe a bit repetitive towards the end, since you'll fight the same enemy types a lot of times. This doesn't make it less fun really, but maybe it was just a psychological thing where it felt like a slight waste of time to me having to fight the same enemies over and over again.
Visually, Control has a kind of cold, yet beautiful brutalist-neon vibe, that feels maybe a little hipster/artsy, but not in a bad way. You'll appreciate it if you are into modern art and architecture.
Graphics quality is excellent with and without ray tracing, there are very nice particle effects and of course intense physics-simulated destruction of objects and the world around you. It is maybe a bit over the top even -- sometimes you can't even see what is going on because of all the particles and smoke and papers and pieces of concrete flying around. Though these intense physics happening all the time make the game feel very dynamic and reactive to your actions.
I'll give it an 8/10. Definitely play this one if you enjoyed other games from Remedy such as Alan Wake oder Max Payne.
9/10 fantastic game- haven't finished yet; but is a true work of art in terms of both graphics and gameplay.. "must play" for 3rd person singleplayer fans.
The worst thing about this game is that I can only play it for the first time once.
(ive played it on playstation and on epic games and hoping to finish a full replay on steam soon)
Hands down one of the best games I've ever played. Don't read up on lore or anything. Just go in blind and you'll have a great time.
Game has a fun game play loop but the map in this game is the worst map I've ever seen in my 30+ years of gaming.
For people to complain about that at the time and for it to not be fixed in an ultimate edition is wild. You should not have to look to youtube to be a better guide and finding things that the map you have in game. There are some areas that for story reasons aren't even on the map and I get the oldest house is supposed to be changing and weird.....that did not then mean give us a TERRIBLE map that is convoluted to navigate. Like from the base game to ultimate they seriously heard no complaints to fix the map? Didn't want to add an invisible line you can follow to get to certain missions or areas? Or....Or just fix the map and make it easy to read....you know like a map. When you check online people are thankful for videos that just show how to get from point A to B which is embarrassing. It got to the point I had to memorize how to get to some areas because why check the map.
I had 2 game breaking bugs that should have been patched out YEARS ago. I could not cleanse 1 control point had to close app 3 times.
Another issue I have a black screen and have to again look to YouTube to fix. If you want to hawk an ultimate edition....can you at least do the bare minimum and do your job of fixing the game from game breaking issues? I know we live in a release a game with issues and don't think to fix it at all or fix it years later wold but there should not be issues like this. I know people had to have complained about all of this at the time of ultimate launch and for it to still be an issue YEARS and YEARS later is crazy. There should be no reason to run into an issue where you get black screened but can walk around in game being a known issue in your game for years. I know Remedy has moved on to do other things but I've seen devs patch older games before when they have moved on. There is no excuse for this other than sheer laziness. But the publishers made sure the check cleared when they said release an ultimate edition.
As far as story this was my first Remedy game. Some story elements were fun but man it gets convoluted for the sake of being weird. The last 15 min it kind of goes off the rails with an anti-climatic battle and then the credits just roll.
Porte de lixo que fizeram pro pc hein.
5 horas e já tive 2 soft locks que me fizeram perder muito progresso, sinceramente ridiculo um jogo de 2020 até hoje ter tantos bugs estúpidos que te impedem de progredir, pra não falar do design de mapas que é tão podre que se assemelha a black mesa.
Cool game and stuff.
But i'll warn you, adter you finish history there's no much left to do, Its a game that you'll nail it down in mayb 40 hours. I would't pay full price on this.
A challenging game that has plenty of puzzles and mysteries to solve. The story is interesting but the characters and environments keep you glued to your seat. I highly recommend if you're into exploring game worlds beyond the main quest and enjoy difficult (at times) combat.
Good story, lots of control over difficulty, looks great. I'd recomend using a gamepad/controller instead of M/K.
This is a very good game and bought it a while back when it was still new. Just picked it up again as I have an injury that is requiring me to kinda stay stationary. Jesse isn't a bad character and the premise is pretty good. Controls are good and are like other games that are over the shoulder. Remedy is a pretty good company and I love the Max Payne series a lot. I even heard that this game kinda takes place in the Alan Wake series so that is good to hear.
I don't usually play shooters, but damn I love this game so far. I love the vibes, the worldbuilding, the story! If you like that kind of weirdness that makes you feel unsettled, this is the game for you.
A visually awesome game with excellent game-play and great set pieces, held back *HEAVILY* by an immensely boring protagonist and completely forgettable side characters, save one or two of them.
Having just completed Control's main campaign, I can confidently say it’s one of the most intriguing games I’ve played. Drawing inspiration from incredible franchises like Half-Life and Prey, it delivers a fresh and compelling story that feels like a lovechild of The X-Files, The Twilight Zone, and Supernatural. As a fan of sci-fi and cosmic horror, this game hit all the right notes.
The pacing was immaculate, the world beautifully crafted, and the characters wonderfully acted. Remedy has truly outdone themselves, and I’m eagerly awaiting a sequel. Please, make it happen!
P.S. This is also the first game I've finished on my Steam Deck!
got to visit the famous oceanview motel. 10/10. got trapped in a ashtray for a bit though would not go again 0/10
for real though, this has the Remedy polish and the quality we come to expect. Stunning visuals, a gripping story, the voice acting, the writing, I could go on and on. Waiting for it to come out on steam was great, and the ultimate edition with the two DLC is such good value, especially on sale.
The setting and worldbuilding in this game is better than any modern sci fi film i can think of, by a longshot.. what they did with the "agency" , with the building it´s located in, with how everything looks as far as design goes.. it´s insanely good.
Game keeps crashing no matter what settings I choose. What a shame, gameplay was fun but constant crashing isn't worth it.
I am not sure where to begin. This game has so many wonderful features as far as game play mechanics, That's not even mentioning the aesthetics and the great soundtrack that goes along with it.
I would say if you like any of the games related to Dishonored, infamous, or just the bionic side of Mass Effect as far as game play, you would love this game.
This is an incredible game through and through. Admittedly its a bit of a slow burn at first but when you start to unlock the various abilities the game starts to make you feel like an absolute badass. One thing worth noting is that this game is best experienced if you have the patience to read all the notes and files you find within the agency. There's very deep lore that helps to really ground and solidify the world you find yourself in and makes the story more understandable.
Highly recommend if you're looking for something that has superhero gameplay without having to be a corny dude in tights.
the first 5 hours of my gameplay time were miserable, I was looking at the signs on walls and stairs to figure out where I had to go because it took me 5 hours to accidentally hit [TAB] and figure out that the game in fact does have a map...
after this, I accidentally finished the game and did about half of the DLC before I realised that I already got this far, the only reason I realised that I was in the DLC already, was because of some materials that google told me "is only obtainable in the DLC area".
(it taking as long as it did to give me the hover ability is kinda annoying tho)
This is one of the most fun and visually stunning games out there and its a Remedy game. The map is filled with amazing detail and its enormous and feels like a moving labyrinth. The characters are amazing and Athi is probably my favourite character ever.
If you want a weird and fun game play Control, and with the sequel Control 2 on the horizon its a great time to try it.
Control Ultimate Edition is a masterclass in storytelling, atmosphere, and gameplay, blending elements of mystery, sci-fi, and action into an unforgettable experience. Remedy Entertainment has outdone themselves, crafting a surreal world filled with intrigue and jaw-dropping moments. Pros: Mind-Bending Story: Control’s narrative is unlike anything else in gaming.

Its shifting halls and eerie design amplify the sense of wonder and dread, creating a setting that’s both haunting and beautiful. Gameplay and Abilities: The combat is exhilarating, with a perfect blend of gunplay and supernatural powers.
Launching objects with telekinesis, levitating, and creating shield barriers never gets old. The gameplay evolves consistently, keeping it fresh throughout.

Ultimate Edition Content: This package includes both expansions, The Foundation and AWE, which expand the story and explore new mechanics. Both add substantial value and make the game feel complete. a must-play for fans of narrative-driven games and those seeking a unique action-adventure experience. Its seamless integration of story, gameplay, and visuals creates a masterpiece that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. Whether you’re a returning player or new to the world of the Oldest House, this edition offers the definitive way to experience Control. If you are a fan of Remedy University, I definitely recommend purchasing!

While I have major issues with how the combat works and the lack of difficulty settings, where it's left up to you to tweak the balance of the game so it ends up either too hard or too easy, this is still one of my favourite games. Very much The X Files meets SCP, the world building is wonderful and incredibly joyous to dive into. The main plot ends a little flat without any real resolution, but the characters and the exploration really make up for it. I especially find the motel a real highlight. It's a flawed but worthwhile experience.
Very strong world building and atmosphere, great if you enjoy environmental storytelling. Main plot is intriguing, suspense it held well but some plot points are left open ended without a strong conclusion. The two dlc's help with this. AWE dlc has a strong horror vibe and connects to alan wake. Foundation feels like a completion of the main storyline, very well integrated.
Gameplay and gunplay are fantastic, highly recommend
Another cinematic masterpiece by Remedy. My only gripe with the game is that I often had no idea where to go and there's an overabundance of notes at times (you could walk into a room and there're 5 of them lying around, not all of which are even lore-relevant/important). Other than that, stunning visuals and meticulously crafted world and lore turn this game into an unforgettable experience
The world and writing (as long as it isn't trying to be funny, since then it is kind of cringey) is what carries this game.
It looks good and builds a lot of mystery.
The gameplay on the other hand shifts between pretty good to quite bad.
Traversing the world feels good, and when fighting lower tier lower tier enemies the combat isn't too bad. But a lot of the combat feels quite samey and whenever there's elite enemies or bosses everything just feels way too bullet spongy.
The second DLC campaign, The AWE, while still having the same calibre of writing is the worst offender in terms of the combat gameplay being samey and spongy. It also re-uses way too much art assets making the environments feel cut-and-paste.
The game is an absolute cinematic experience and one of the most powerful combat encounters I have come across. I am usually not a fun of open world-games but I decided to go for it, after reading positive reviews and viewing the trailer and I am so glad that I did. The game offers an amazing and well designed setting that really puts you into the character's shoes experiencing the events. It also offers many interesting concepts and their "presentation" is more than what anyone could have hoped for. Of course there is a huge map with many different areas to explore as well, while in pursue of various missions. The atmosphere it creates, is to say the least captivating and I am certain that this game will be discussed for years. Congratulations to the developers, their work and efforts are clearly reflected in the game. To my opinion, there are a few downsides, leaving room for some improvement. For me, the majority of them involve the difficulty & mechanics and some other exceptions. There are lots of things to be done on player's perspective manually (crafting, personal mods, weapon mods, abilities upgrades etc) that felt a bit too much. While the difficulty of the combats is spicy. Weapons do not make as much damage as expected, thus having to rely more and more on the abilities, health pool is quite low, while at the same time opponents may drain you with 2 hits and end up playing the same part over and over again. Of course there is the assistant that can help personalize the experience but still needs to be more balanced as the difficulty spikes really quick, making it a necessity for several parts. The game must be played with controller, I cannot even imagine playing it using keyboard. Another point to be made is in regards invisible checkpoints. The game seems to have them on some parts but it would be nice to include more. Last, some graphics may be a bit heavily used, causing a mild simulator sickness. Overall it is an absolutely great experience, worth exploring. Looking forward to the next one.
I have not run into a bug with this game. The story is well written. Game play is fun and engaging. Overall, it's a fun FPS game and gets you engaged fast. I find the game challenging without being laborious.
A Remedy sempre está um passo a frente do restante da indústria no que diz respeito ao quesito técnico e experimentação com novidades mecânicas e narrativas, e Control não é uma exceção.
Esse jogo, no seu lançamento, foi o ápice de toda a experiência do estúdio, resultando em uma experiência com o equilíbrio perfeito entre narrativa muito bem escrita e engajante (se você gosta de histórias fora da caixinha que exige um pouco da sua imaginação e interesse para acompanhar o todo), e um loop de gameplay extremamente divertido e satisfatório, com desafio na medida certa.
Se você é gostou dos demais trabalhos do estúdio, ou só quer um jogo com gameplay divertido, não tem erro, Control sem dúvida alguma vale seu investimento.
Didn't really care much about the lore and story but the movement, skills and game play in general is really fun.
This is my first Remedy game after Max Payne games and you can clearly see the influence, the gun play is amazing and the weird stuff is even weirder.
It can get a little monotonous after a while, but the game is just short enough that it ends once it gets to that point.
To anyone playing, I would advice on reading all the notes you find, it greatly increased the enjoyment for me.
Second time I bough it, i had it previously on another platform but when i tried to play it again it was giving me glitches so bad i cannot play at all, since it's on sale here i got it again. Love the game, personally I rather play FPS but this one is amazing from the game play to the music it creates the perfect atmosphere. I hope they release a Control 2 or some sequel.
This is my first Remedy game and I loved it! I'm looking forward to playing through the 2 Alan Wake games and Quantum Break in the future.
The combat is fun and new skills continue to improve that experience. (I usually don't like the addition of skills throughout a game, but that wasn't the case at all with Control) The story is a bit convoluted but it's uniqueness and interesting setting sets it apart. The game is very detailed and the graphics hold up. Voice acting is legit. It was a fun ride!
Excellent story, plenty of side lore, and a smooth combat system with a little bit of options for style preference. Well written characters who don't feel like NPCs. A female Protaganist without that being her only personality trait. The DLCs are solid too. I snagged the whole kit on sale for 20$, well worth it.
I hate Control.
That is, there are as many things I like about this game as there are others that I don't.
In a way, you could say that, at the time of release (before Alan Wake 2) this was, the most Remedy game ever.
The story was good, and the game world was the best thing about Control, crazy, really out there, there were plenty of secrets surrounding the creation of the federal bureau of control and the origins of the oldest house, the altered world events and the objects of power. There is enough material here for doing a multiple season streaming series!
On the other hand, at times the game ironically has too much mystery for its own good, it keeps its cards close to the "chest", and while there are answers, there are also a great number of things left for interpretation or perhaps a future chapter. There is also an excessive amount of content which can only be found reading through documents.
The mystery is great, and having documents with random occurrences within the game world is fun, but it comes a point where it is either too much (you no longer want to pause to read a completely random document in the middle of a fight) or worst, this is a really important document and you don’t know if you are happy about finding it or how easy it is to just not see it and lose it among all the other funny (but completely random) documents.
In terms of gameplay Control has some really interesting mechanics and powers granted to Jesse, the main character. This is the second game with the Northlight engine and it only gets better, the way you affect objects around you (through telekinesis) and how you move through the world changes and it is powerful and fun, and it is put to really good use in this universe… technically speaking at least.
Half the time, it is a pain to use.
Control has no difficulty setting, not in a classical way. You do have assistance options which are, partially accessibility options (which is good) to help you with coordination and the controller and the other part is really more of a cheats in menu. You can adjust how much damage your weapon makes, even to the point of doing "instant kills" and in the same way, you can adjust how much damage you character takes even to the point of becoming a proverbial “bullet sponge” and be immortal.
This is all optional of course, but playing normal without any special assist, very early in the game, I’ve encountered a whole set of missions which were almost impossible to complete and I though they needed for me to upgrade more, so I went on with the main story and return later but I found out that it did not make that much of a difference, it was still too much punishing, so I became frustrated and just turned on assistance and did the missions.
It is good the game gives you the option if you are having problems with combat and just want to get on with it and see the story part. But turning on invincibility and instant kills it just skipping the gameplay, it feels like the developers at Remedy just didn’t knew how to make the gameplay more balanced and flexible, more adjustable and accessible to everyone, and they just put “god mode” and be done with it because nothing else was really working… so if you are having troubles with the gameplay being too punishing and difficult, just bypass it.
The gameplay of previous Remedy games (Alan Wake 1 and Quantum Break) was not perfect, but it was doable, and also fun! specially in Quantum Break. I hope that Alan Wake 2 makes a better gameplay experience.
Besides my issues with gameplay, it is great to see how Northlight engine was coming along in other aspects like incorporating fmv scenes within the game (not just separated cutscenes like in Quantum Break). Although it was only use in a handful of occasions, the integration was excellent, and when the full video scene came (there was also that) it was so seamless and so smooth. It has to be said that it also helps how Remedy shoots their videos in terms of lighting and color, and then how they also apply lighting and color grading to their game, that also goes a great deal with integrating fmv and cgi.
Finally, it is also incredible to see the appearance of some very high detail cgi characters in game, with a level of detail similar to what you would be seeing in future games like Alan Wake 2, but just briefly, non-speaking and in limited fashion. It is already startling to see the transition between real fmv characters and cgi happening already so long ago.
As for the link between Control and Alan Wake, I have to admit that it wasn’t as much as I was secretly hoping it to be. Alan Wake 1 remastered, had definitely much more to say about Alan Wake. Control really moves in another sphere of existence, but it could help you look at Alan Wake story through a new set of eyes…
In any case, I can understand the excitement surrounding the release of the AWE DLC back in 2020 regardless of how much is showed of Alan Wake in this DLC. Back in 2020, Alan Wake was ten years old and there was no official news about a sequel yet (besides some hidden easter egg in games). When this DLC came around I can understand what it meant to long time Alan Wake fans back then, and seeing Alan appear for the first time in years. Playing this in 2024 with the sequel already released, it doesn’t add much but it is still nice to see a tiny preview of the next game, you will find mention of not just Alan Wake but also some references to other characters as well.
And now, with the Oldest House in order (kind of…) and if the Board approves… I will set course for a very long overdue weekend back in Bright Falls with agents Saga and Casey, looking for Alan Wake.

would you believe that i had a dream about Control way back before (similar themes: almost serene yet chilling environment, gun style and fight scenes, levitating, killing enemies with unclear faces, flashes of red and debris, and used of psychic powers) and when i found this gem, i was absolutely floored by how uncanny familiar it is to that dream. it felt like my future self telling that i'll meet this game someday and enjoy the sh*t out of it. this is my most favorite game, ever. it delivered and kept me on edge. a familiar sense yet so intriguing that you want to explore more. i highly recommend it and if its on sale, its basically free.
The game play is fun but the story is very confusing...
