Control Reviews
Control offers over-the-top action, a bizarre but interesting story, and a focus on fun over realism that helps solidify it as one of the year's best.
Control is set in an engrossingly weird paranormal world that I couldn’t help but explore.
Fast-paced action tied in with an intriguing story about a secret organisation which you will need to explore and discover it's hidden secrets. Visually detailed with polished fun gameplay, combining telekinetic powers with shooter combat. A playthrough could take 10 to 15 hours or more depending on the level detail you pay. A full thumbs up for this one.
Giddy action and astonishing art design combine in one of the great locations of modern video games.
Jesse's telekinesis joins Half-Life 2's juiced gravity gun in the videogame physics toy hall of fame.
The perfect blend of narrative and gameplay, coherency and strangeness, Control is a game we'll be talking about for generations.
Control's intense firefights are fun, but they don't evolve much in the second half. Fortunately, its unsettling mood and explosive moments more than balance the scales
Behold, one of 2019’s best and weirdest games
A different kind of haunted house makes Control hard to resist.
Control feels like Remedy firing on all cylinders, resulting in a smart and sensational action-adventure.
One could easily make the argument that Control could very well be Remedy's magnum opus.
I can’t overstate the fact that it’s a funny game – funny enough that the humour keeps you going from fight to fight, searching not for the source of your mysterious enemy, or for the answer to all the sub-mysteries surrounding Jesse, but for the next episode of the Threshold Kids.
Despite some iffy performance issues and some very frustrating narrative choices, Control's compelling gameplay, excellent combat and dedication to the bizarre make it an easy game to recommend
Control is Remedy at its best: pulpy, weird, and immensely satisfying to play. Its setting is a potent concoction of '60s brutalist style and wacky sci-fi. Performance issues hamper the shootouts, and the characters are a little cold, but it's the setting and atmosphere that win the day.
There are small edges that could be polished, such as the low number of enemies, certain lows in the rhythm of the game and some pulls in the rate of images per second, but it is the least when it comes to facing this adventure.

Remedy Entertainment's latest game, Control, continues to embrace the weirdness that has permeated in the studio's past titles but fails to excel in any one area.
It's fast-paced, fun, and pretty damn freaky — all the right elements of a perfect sci-fi thriller.
An adventure with some of the best Remedy qualities, with some ingredients that may appeal to the fans of supernatural games. On the other side, the exploration is unnecessarily frustrating and the graphical department feels as a mixed bag.
