First play-through of CONTROL. Got it for $4 on PSN on Supa-Sale.
threaded - newest
It was also on sale on PC, I’ve been getting lost in it. It’s amazing. It makes me wonder if I should be playing Alan Wake as well. I once got Alan Wake II with my GPU but I sold it
Alan Wake 2 is the direct sequel to both Alan Wake and Control so you should definitely get it if you liked Control. There is also a Control-centric expansion for AW2 just as there was an Alan Wake expansion for Control.
I recently played through both Alan Wakes and Control with all the expansions and it’s an AWEsome experience on par with playing through the Mass Efect trilogy IMO.
I would say however that despite all three being extremely good games, the gameplay of Control is vastly different from the other two, so be aware of that.
I haven’t played those. I think I’ll give it a go when I finish this
There is even a chapter of one of the two expansions where Jessie returns, in a prequel of sorts to Control.
Yeah, Control rules! I thought the enemy variety was a bit lacking, but other than that, it was a blast.
The controls are fantastic & it gives me nostalgic feelings for when I played second sight on GameCube.
It keeps getting better too as you gain more powers.
This game bugged me, it totally missed the SCP vibe for me and it put me off. I also found the combat pretty boring.
I always liked the way that SCP is about a bureaucratic organisation trying to control and contain these supernatural entities. In Control they live inside an entity and literally let one control the organisation. That just seems so anti-SCP to me.
What is scp?
It’s a communal project in which people make up lovecraftian monsters and objects that they share on a wiki, basically. There’s an expansive system of lore to it, including an MIB-esque organization that is collecting and, when possible, innoculating them, as well as all these different methods and procedures for interacting with them and categorizing them and junk.
Lots of strange and creative ideas scattered throughout. I liked it when it was just starting off but haven’t kept up, so I can’t speak for the modern quality overall, though I’m sure they’ve still got some bangers here and there.
Most of the quality is below even amateur level. Like middle school level writing.
Not too surprising lol. That is about how old I was when I was into it
Maybe because they didn’t actually made a game about SCP.
A long time back I got this game for free from the epic game store, it totally blew my mind. The world this game exists in is so well developed, I think the setting is my favorite character. I loved the panopticon, I loved offices covered in insane sticky notes, I of course loved the ashtray maze, oh my God that was freaking awesome.
This game is something special.
Can’t access imgur; what’s the game?
it’s Control
I’m pretty sure I own it in on four different storefronts and I’ve never paid for it. It’s a lot of fun but I stopped playing before I got to fly. I don’t remember why.
It’s pretty repetitive.
I don’t necessarily mean that as a bad thing - at least some of what you repeat (picking up shit and throwing it around telekinetically) is a lot of fun, IMO.
I enjoyed it through the end and the DLCs too, but I could also understand why people might get tired of the game before beating it.
Once I could yeet chunks of the building at people & OBLITERATE them & watch their bodies flail & crumple, I knew this was my kind of game.
It would be amazing if they add the enemy AI teamwork from Force Unleashed to Control 2. Enemies would cling to one another and try saving eachother.
When you reach the maze, get your headphones. It’s an awesome experience.
I’ll have to find some plug-ins!
They’re not lying. Ash tray maze is one of the best levels in any game.
TAKE. CONTROL.

It really is. A lot of Remedy’s stuff I’ve had fun with, but CONTROL was definitely one of their greatest works
Remedy nails it every time!
Looking forward to Control 2.
On sale on GOG for like $5 for the ultimate edition.
I have both Epic and GOG copies from two different free offers and played it a bunch, but could never finish it. I enjoy the atmosphere and the story, but the fights got repetitive and difficult (not in a good way). I stopped at some boss fight, then later decided to pick it up again and eventually stopped at another artificial roadblock.
