I like everything these guys put out. From Alan Wake to Quantum Break to Control. The graphics, story, game play and music are all top notch. This game is filled with great battles, secret areas, story data and side missions. 5 stars. I recommend this.

Wasn't sure what I was getting into when I made this purchase. But I have to say I have no regrets. The graphics, gameplay, story, are top notch. I would recommend if you're into mysterious, action packed and a little dark.

From the developers that made Alan wake and quantum break is control. A fun and unique game that reminds me of metroid prime where going back to previous areas unlocks new powers and weapons as well as upgrades with an interesting story

If you have played a remedy game before, specifically quantum break, then you are going to fee at home with the controls and fee of the game. Fun powers, decent shooting mechanics and a weird story and atmosphere

Fantastic game with a wonderfully weird story. Gameplay is fast fluid with a mix of gun play and melee combat. Remedy knows how to tell a story and keep you engaged the whole time.

Control is a decent action game from Remedy Studios, has an interesting story with some fun combat. Technical issues and kind of samey environments bring it down slightly.

This game is so well written, with fairly deep lore to seek out, if you are into reading backstory. The gameplay is rock solid, and very satisfying to engage in. Metroid-style progression, with new abilities necessary to access already visible areas, and the world frequently connects and loops back on itself.
My favorite sci-fi experience since 2016’s “Inside” and the Mass Effect games before that. Highly recommended for those who enjoy intellectual games alongside some great combat.

Remedy is behind a game that I love, Alan Wake. This has some the eerie vibes that Alan Wake had. This game gives you the same powers as a Jedi but instead of a light saber, you get a gun. I'm a big fan of sound, especially when it's done right- and this game nails it out the park.. IE: the big whoosh when you do one of your powers. Definitely worth checking out

Not a bad game. Gameplay is easy but needs a better map. Can be a bit confusing with the map it has.
