    About

    Control is a third-person action-adventure game set in the Federal Bureau of Control, a secretive U.S. government agency that studies paranormal phenomena. Players control Jesse Faden, who arrives at the Bureau's headquarters, the Oldest House, to find it invaded by a hostile force called the Hiss. Gameplay combines supernatural abilities with a shape-shifting firearm, and the environment is reactive and destructible.

    Control is exactly the kind of game you’d expect from Remedy: complex, mysterious, and very well executed. The game doesn’t spoon-feed you everything or explain every little detail directly. You often have to put the pieces together yourself, which makes discovering the world much more rewarding. The documents you can find throughout the game are also surprisingly interesting. They give you more insight into the world, the strange objects, and the company itself. This is where the SCP-like elements of Control really shine. One thing I didn’t like as much was the map. I found it quite confusing and often had trouble figuring out where I was supposed to go. I got lost more than a few times, which could make navigating the building frustrating. The combat, on the other hand, is a lot of fun. It offers enough variety throughout the game to keep things interesting, and it never really became boring for me, even towards the end.

    Weird, stylish, supernatural chaos. Telekinesis, shifting environments, mysterious lore — one of those games where you constantly wonder, “What the hell is going on?”

    Very underrated game. It was such a pleasant experience playing this game - the mystery, finding out more through documents, gameplay, characters and so on.
