Control Ultimate Edition - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

I have to admit, this game took me a few tries to get into. From the beginning, I wasn't feeling it. But I kept hearing the reviews and recommendations and game of the year awards (although, those mean absolutely nothing nowadays *cough* *cough* Last of Us 2 *cough* *cough*) etc., etc. But once you start unlocking some powers, exploring some of the more weird areas and really get into the plot, it'll hook you. The gameplay itself is amazing once you power up. You have all kinds of cool abilities and great control (batum tsssss). The story is crazy and the graphics and sound are up there with the best. The Ultimate Edition also gives you a PS5 upgrade for free (although you just spent 40 bucks on a game you potentially already owned). On PS5, this game gives you the choice of 30 frames per second with added ray-tracing, ambient occlusion and som other nerdy buzzwords that make it look that much better, or you can go with 60fps for buttery smooth gameplay but without most of the pretty stuff. I personally like the graphics choice, but 60fps still looks very good, even without the ray-tracing (which is a technology that simulates how light bounces and reacts realistically, so usually meaning accurate reflective surfaces). Great game. Must play.

This game's story was right up my alley - very "X-Files"-esque feeling to the whole thing. I have enjoyed previous Remedy output, like "Max Payne", "Alan Wake", and "Quantum Break"; Control is definitely in the vein of the latter two of those. Even better is getting the 2 DLCs with this package. Environments are gorgeous and unique, and gameplay is smooth with many special effects - but I must say I did play on the included free PS5 upgrade version only. I have heard that the performance of the game leaves a lot to be desired on base PS4, so take that into consideration.

Great trippy game . The gameplay is fast and fun. Visuals are nicer on the ps5 version. Ps4 version slows down when the combat get heavy.

An amazing game by an amazing company. Alan Wake had an interesting story, but I wasn't big on the gameplay. Control, however, scratched that itch.

I bought it for the ps5 upgrade and by no means this game looks and plays good on the ps5, the story is very good recommend for anyone that is interested.
