Control Reviews
It has the weirdness of Alan Wake/Max Payne in the story, the crazy action-packed combat of Quantum Break all while letting you explore this bizarre, beautiful building with so many secrets to uncover.
Enter the surreal horror world of Control, the latest game from Remedy... a game that has near universal praise. But what did we think of it? Oh... oh no...
Control is a good action game which can deliver some exciting moments with its engaging combat system. Jesse abilities and the way she can interact with the environment by being able to get hold of EVERY object and throw them at her enemies is magnificent. Apart from that, the visuals and the fact that verything can be completely destructed by players are also astonishing. However, the dull empty open world of Control with its boring side missions and activities along the shallow story and poor character processing make this game a forgettable experience

The compelling story and incredibly well done combat system, along with the amazing art style and deep characterization turn Control into a trippy experience full of surprises and lots of mind-bending, Inception-like moments.
I can't remember the last time I was willfully ready to risk getting a headache to play a game because I enjoyed the world and challenges so much. I've played through the main story twice, and I am still picking away at the side missions and running around the Oldest House to see if there's anything else worth finding. Staccato mass-combat issues and other burps aside, I'd recommend Control to anyone. Its world may be frightening and confusing, but it's also truly a sight to behold.
Many believe that Max Payne is the best game ever by Remedy, and they might be right, but Control is not far behind. If you are a fan of action genre, you should play Control. Period.

Control is a fascinating insight into what a developer like Remedy Entertainment can pull off based on their experience in creating cinematic story games mixed with action gameplay. It ranks among one of their best works released so far.
Control offers interesting "lynchian" story, mysterious setting, and a lot of secrets to discover. It's a shame the game istn't optimized a bit better.

Control is a unique game and probably the best game Remedy Entertainment ever created. The weird and mysterious story of the game along with believable and interesting characters are very good stimuli to continue the game and discover its secrets. The gameplay mechanics like throwing objects are very well made and feels good to use. The game also offers a very good visual experience both artistically and technically but it has serious performance problems on the base version of PS4 and Xbox One. At all, Control is a well-made game that offers an interesting experience. If you like Action-Adventure games with amazing story-telling and entertaining gameplay, Control is one of the best options you have in this generation.

Control feels like a blend of Max Payne, Psi-Ops and F.E.A.R. told by David Lynch.

Control takes us right the other side of that door you do not remember having unlocked, to the middle of the that dark hall that you started crossing while thinking that there's nothing hiding in the dark, specially not behind you. The dark tone and creepy setting of the Oldest House remains all through your adventure and even though you'll eventually get enough powers to kick around any enemy you find, you'll never get to chase away that feeling that something is not right. Control is a reminder that Remedy is still a developing powerhouse.

Perhaps Control was promising at first glance, but the end result is somewhat disappointing. It gives us a good gameplay and compelling graphics. However, its content is pretty lacking.

Control is in turns silly, satirical and solemn, combining an underlying existential dread with a triumph through heroism in a way that no other superhuman tale ever has.
After the disappointing Quantum Break, Remedy Entertainment is back with a huge thriller adventure metroidvania elements and supernatural powers. You don't wanna miss this!

The playable ambition of Control is noted from the level design itself, and goes a step further in issues of variety of situations and character progression. In short, it is much less limited in terms of playable possibilities and that is appreciated. Without a doubt, it is one of the best action games of the final stretch of the year.

Control is undoubtedly Remedy's biggest and weirdest game yet. In many ways, it's also their best, all while it paves the way for a Marvel-like connected universe.
Control is the culmination of design elements followed by Remedy Studio over many years and offers a lot of developments and revolutionary about their design methods, but the poor presentation of characters and artificial intelligence weak in addition to the narrative method and boring dialogues sometimes do not decrease the experience at all, but the level design also world design and combat as well as the powerful story is enough to consider it a great game and to keep in mind

Control is a treasure trove of storytelling that is supported by great dialogue, intriguing characters, and stellar voice acting. When paired with its badass combat, it proves to be the complete package.
Control is a pretty impressive third-person action romp that’s held up by a far-out story, strong visuals/audio, and a reliance on telekinetic powers that make combat and exploration all the more interesting.
