    very fun 3rd person shooter with a very strange story with a connection to some past titles remedy. only issue with the game is that the frame rate tends to dip very low when the action gets too hectic. otherwise, its a really fun game.

    This is one of my favorite games of 2019. It had a great story that is fleshed out by finding reports and articles laying around. The gameplay is great and had one of my favorite weapons of any game. I highly recommend this game.

    Whether you're a fan of Max Payne and Alan Wake, a fan of flashy action games, or a fan of twisty surreal thriller stories, Control knocks it out of the park. Atmospheric, beautiful, and engaging. Highly recommended.

    Control is not only a great game but the steel case was also pretty cool. If you enjoy story driven 3rd person action adventure games they don’t get much better than Control.

    A wildly Original video game from the creators of Alan Wake. It's combat is addictive, story is immersive and well paced, and it's score is unsettlingly beautiful.

    Not one game in last few years has impressed me so much as control!!! Its a hallucinating ride, one that gave me weird spooky dreams!! The story line, sound track and the open world settings are amazing, the combat even more. Control's combat is something I've never seen before, all sorts of telekinesis superpowers and a pistol which can take any shape on the fly!! thoroughly satisfying. :) The brutal/ matrix movie style lighting and architecture sets the tone and mood of the game, not to mention the chanting of the hiss. Overall, a must play game for everyone. definitely recommend. 5 stars!

    The game has an epic start with a solid introduction into the world of the paranormal that pulls the player in with bizarre/impressive visuals. 2 hours in the feel starts to wear out as the game begins to drag as the plot slows down. Gameplay is OK , telekenisis is fun to use but there aren't many powers to play with. If you play on a regular PS4 the performance is awful, on PS4 pro there are minor frame drops or massive ones rarely. Overall, if you like mysterious paranormal stories that are similar to SCP foundation or Lovecraft material, you will enjoy this game.

    A Bold New Game, But A Great Accomplishment It Is

    A very new style of game that is a bit weird at first but ends up becoming a sweet experience with a crazy story. It's one of those games that is confusing and reveals a lot of its story through collectibles. As a fan of games doing so, I enjoyed it immensely. If you're someone who doesn't care for reading through collectibles then it'll be even more confusing but is still an enjoyable experience none the less. As a big fan of Remedy, I think it's one of their best games yet and I hope for a sequel or a cross-over with one of their other great games. :)

    My 2019 Game of the Year

    I was interested in this from the get go because I've enjoyed Remedy's other games. This is their best game yet! If you enjoy things like The X-Files, SCP (Google it), House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski, and other things sci-fi/super natural/paranormal then this game is for you. The gun combat is decent but is quickly and always overshadowed by Jessie's psychic abilities. The atmosphere is creepy and unsettling at all times and the sound design is top notch. If you're looking for a horror / supernatural game then look no further.

    I have not finished this game yet but I have enjoyed very much. If you like other remedy games especially Alan wake you will enjoy this. The action is amped up and works well.

    I was a little wary about buying this knowing it was a short game. But got it for 39.99 and it was totally worth it. The atmosphere is creepy and the gameplay is fun

    This is one those games that got overlook as major tittles came out around the same time. The story is interesting with good voice acting and an intriguing take on the paranormal, as the premises of the game put the player in the shoes of the new director of this secret government agency devoted to protect and investigate paranormal occurrences. I am loving the story telling and I want to immerse myself in this world by reading every single piece of lore I can find.

    If you've played any video game released by Remedy Entertainment, you'll know that you're in for a special treat. Control is no different, aside from a few frame rate drops and not yet receiving my dlc bonus, Control manages to be a diamond in the rough in the gaming industry at the moment. Great mysterious story, excellent fast gameplay, top tier visuals, etc. Control is without a shadow of a doubt an extraordinary game made by Remedy Entertainment!

    I'm a RPG fan and this game certainly fills the bill. You have the ability to add mods to both your weapons and your character, as well as, gaining various abilities that help you combat the many enemies that you encounter throughout the game. There's plenty to do: an intriguing storyline, a load of side missions, and free roaming to your heart's content to discover new areas and find useful pickups.
