CONTROL Ultimate Edition

Story was perfect as it was expected from REMEDY . Jesse Faden and her communication with NPCs was also great. Music hits hard and its mixture with the story of the game results in perfect moments. Gameplay was glorious. Levitation and Lunch abilities were great and killing hiss and mold hosts with these abilities felt great. Story had good plot twists and side quests were unique. So, what's better than this?...

oynanış konusunda hissiyatı mükemmel hikaye konusunda gelirsek wtf oluyorsunuz çünkü çok hızlı gelişiyor her şey ama hikayeyi boş verip combat olsun diyorsanız çok güzel <3

Control is one the best game made by Remedy Entertainment so far! I've been looking forward to play this game since its release and so far, I had a fun and tough time to play this game. Somehow, the gameplay feels good and the combat really felt excellent. For some reason, If you having difficult playing the combat sequence, It might takes time until you can get used to it. Control of course is not just a best game, but also a masterpiece game ever by Remedy Entertainment

One of the best paranatural world experience games i've ever played. Can't wait for part 2 in September.

Надеюсь, мои 224 рубля заставят задуматься Сэма Лейка и он наконец-то выпустит AW2 в стиме

Control has the flesh of a masterpiece, but the bones of it all are still a bit crooked. THAT'S WHY I AM BETTING IT ALL ON CONTROL RESONANT BABY, THAT ONE WILL FOR SURE FIX ALL THE ISSUES WOOOO! After 36 hours of reading censored bureaucratic documents, I think Control warrants a review. Control is Remedy's sixth game, if you count those that actually matter, and you can tell it all really started to click by now. After all, this is the game that *officially* started the Remedy Connected Universe. While it doesn't stray far from what came before, it solidifies what makes Remedy games so unique, so fascinating, and frankly so much better compared to their AAA contemporaries. The story is overly complex, the art direction is staggeringly jaw-dropping, and the gameplay is holding the experience back in some way. This is what Remedy is, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Okay, but what actually is Control? Control is technically a third person shooter, but I don't think that classifies the game well. This is actually a third person supernatural power fantasy action game where you can also shoot a gun. The story follows Jesse Faden, a regular adult, who, in search for her missing brother, ventures to The Oldest House, an enigmatic, brutalist and seemingly endless building which houses the secret US government organization called the Federal Bureau of Control. The FBC is an agency which handles all things paranormal, whether it's a floating bucket, or an a fridge that will eat you if nobody is looking at it (Yes, the setting takes a lot of inspiration from SCP). Jesse stumbles through the building until she finds a gun called "The Service Weapon", which in turn somehow makes her the director of the entire organization. That's the gist of it, because I don't want to get into spoilers, but you can see how that would make for an intriguing story. Hands down the best part of the package is the worldbuilding. This setting is just SO unbelievably cool. Even though the game technically takes place in a single building, the idea of an ever-shifting interior with paranormal entities gives them the flexibility to do basically everything they want. As Jesse enters the scene when the FBC is in a disarray, you learn all about it and the entire ecosystem around it through scattered documents, videotapes, and audio cassettes. I have resorted to reading, watching, and listening to all of them because they are simply FASCINATING. Out of (apparently) 412, I was uninterested with maybe a handful of them. My favorite part of it all was certainly Dr. Darling, a fanatic Head of Research scientist, who recorded himself explaining many different paranatural items or past events. He is just mesmerizing to listen to (also voiced by the amazing Matthew Porretta a.k.a. Alan Wake himself). Going hand in hand with the worldbuilding is the level design, which is suprisingly astonishing. While the building is extremely complex, it's still completely logical. There is a main elevator, which will take you to your desired floor and it branches out however it wants from that point on. You will need to jump between the floors and specific locations in them pretty much constantly, but thankfully, the developers gave you a map! ...Right? Well yes, but the map is not all that useful. It will let you know that the location you need to get to is somewhere southwest, but it won't be effective if you want use it for actual real-time navigation. This might sound bad, but I actually have grown to love it a lot. I am not going to lie, I was frustrated at first, but once I understood what you are supposed to do, I think it's quite genius. As you can't completely rely on the map, the building has a ton of signage (just like real life corpo buildings!), which you will have to use instead, further improving the immersion. It will certainly not be for everyone, as I understand the feeling of just wanting to know where to go, so take that as you wish. It is elevated by the superb graphics. Control was one of the first games to use ray-tracing, and probably the first to ACTUALLY use it. This was the cutting-edge game some time ago, and it still remains top tier. They went all in and you can certainly see it when the game is maxed out. And it's not only because your PC will cry out for help. This game is gorgeous, especially when it comes to the lighting and the reflections. It coming out during the ray-tracing infant days is a bit of a curse though, as even on maximum settings the environment will display distracting noise. Thankfully Control Resonant will have path-tracing, so it will just be this game's art direction without the flaws. Hopefully. All of that culminates in a simply fantastic atmosphere. Unknown voices echoing through the hallways, sudden light shifts, and the constant excitement of the unexpected keeps the experience immersive throughout the entire runtime and is simply a cherry on top. Now, let's stop all this sweet talk and get to the more shaky parts of the experience. The story itself is, meh, alright. As always, no spoilers, but the story genuinely has (because I'm sure the sequel will expand on it) a ton of potential. It is very ambitious, but it works for the most part, and it will make sense if you indulge it. The issue is that it all just goes a bit too quickly. Big things happen, but they don't elaborate on it enough and just move on to the next big thing. While 36 hours is certainly not a short game, I probably spent like 9h on the actual story, so they certainly could've extended it a bit. I stil like it, but it is definitely carried by being based in this cool world. The dialogue that supports it is a bit weird. It feels uncomfortable, with quite long pauses and awkward interactions, but at the same time it feels completely intentional? Like I am weirded out whenever I am listening to them, but the concept of this story is quite absurd, so the circumstances completely call for the awkwardness. It helps that the voice actors themselves are quite great. Finally, the gameplay is the mixest of the mixed bags. What else did you expect from a Remedy game? It starts off fine, the guns feel weighty, the animations are gorgeous, and the enemies are interesting. However, as the time goes on, the gameplay becomes the least interesting part of the package. The new enemies don't differ enough to change your approach to them, the powers you gain are not as useful as your "throw ♥♥♥♥ at the enemy" ability, and you already found your favorite gun so you don't need to switch it around. ...Until you get the levitate ability, which is just SOOOOOO cool that it makes the combat like 5x better. And then you get bored of it as well, but you've probably finished the game by then. It does not help that there is a leveling system, which feels insanely tacked on. You earn skill points which you can spend on stuff like: a) Your ability #1 deals 5% more damage b) Your ability #2 stays active for 5 more seconds c) Your ability #3 is 5% more durable Honestly, what's the point? I never felt like they changed anything aside from some exceptions like the upgrade that lets you hold three throwable items at once. That one is sick. Hopefully they also rework this in the sequel. All in all, Control is an incredible experience that engrossed me in its world way more than I expected. While the gameplay is not top of the class, it is a fun power fantasy, and probably the best out of all Remedy games so far. The series itself has a ton of potential and I am unbelievably excited for Control Resonant.

[h1]A Beautiful Concept Wrapped in a Boring Game.[/h1] The atmosphere, the design of the Oldest House, and the visual style are genuinely captivating at first, but unfortunately, the game didn’t live up to my expectations. The story is presented in such a fragmented way that, instead of feeling intrigued, I often found myself confused. The gameplay quickly devolves into repetitive shootouts and clearing rooms, and the built-in invincibility mode made the whole process even more boring. There was simply no reason for me to play on any other difficulty — my main goal was to focus on the story and not waste time dying and repeating the same encounters. The weapon modification and upgrade systems didn’t interest me either. They felt more like unnecessary busywork that I had absolutely no desire to learn or engage with. I also want to mention the connection to Alan Wake. Personally, I found it somewhat out of place in this particular game. Alan Wake has its own story and atmosphere, and I much prefer experiencing it as a standalone game rather than seeing it intertwined with Control in this way. Especially considering that there aren’t actually that many Alan Wake-related sections here. There was one moment I genuinely enjoyed, though — the sequence accompanied by music from Poets of the Fall, where you have to navigate a maze-like room with moving walls. I was ultimately left feeling bored. I frequently found myself thinking, “When is this going to be over?” And after getting all the achievements and reading > 50% of notes, I was completely convinced that this game simply wasn’t for me. Honestly, this is probably [b]the worst game I’ve played in the last 5+ years.[/b] [h3]A few words about 'Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden'[/h3] I had a very similar experience with Banishers. In that game, the developers also, in my opinion, force the player to spend far too much time moving around the world and doing unnecessary backtracking. If you focus primarily on the main story quests and largely ignore the side content, the game somewhat punishes you for doing so by giving you a bad ending, even though you are trying to reach one of the good ones. What’s interesting is that I barely noticed these problems during the first 13 hours. But eventually, my main-story playthrough of Banishers took more than 30 hours, and a significant portion of that time, in my opinion, was spent on unnecessary traveling and running back and forth between locations. Maybe this kind of pacing and storytelling works for some people, but for me, both Control and Banishers became examples of games where an interesting world and a promising story concept simply weren’t enough to compensate for an exhausting gameplay loop. [b]I'd rather replay Alan Wake several times than play either of these games.[/b]

Игра по ощущениям вышла ну так себе, будем честны. Из плюсов отмечу лишь физику разрушения, как объекты и само окружение ломаются при взаимодействии с ними с помощью захвата или взрывая всё подряд. И на этом плюсы закончились.. Сюжет просто ни о чем, нифига не понятно в течении всей игры, что вообще происходит. Диалоги унылые, скипал уже на середине игры, читать записки коих тут набросали тонны на каждом шагу, мне впадлу, и как по мне это худший способ повествования. Боевка вышла фиговой, способностей мало, табельное оружие вроде и прикольное, шесть вариаций, много различных модификаций, но в основном бегал с вращением и пирс. Вращением добивал лоу хп бомжей после броска, пирсом сражался с боссами, урона много, плюс дали модификацию на мгновенный выстрел. Способностей крайне мало, бросок, щит и полёт, по сути всё.. а файты тут происходят каждую минуту, учитывая что приходится бегать туда сюда. Ну и лично от меня премия за самую ублюдскую и неудобную карту получает эта игра, настолько всратый и неудобный вид карты сделал настоящий мастер своего дела, по мазохизму разумеется, ибо одному только разрабу известно, по какому принципу делалась карта всех секторов в игре. Напоследок, с оптимизацией здесь явно какие-то проблемы, игра очень много жрет, видеокарта сильно греется и шумит, просадок хоть и не было, но я не заметил здесь чего-то прям выдающегося. Купил по солидной скидке 90%, видимо игра не оправдала у многих ожиданий. Мне не зашло, на последних минутах проходил ласт дополнение через силу, посредственный геймплей и особенно сюжет.
