Critic Reviews
Surprisingly fun combat and an incredible world makes Control a game that is hard to forget.
Control feels like Remedy firing on all cylinders, resulting in a smart and sensational action-adventure.
Control is a great game with cool gameplay, interesting concepts, and a sequel looks imminent.
Control boasts a challenging, satisfying and fun combat. The Oldest House is a visually stunning piece of design that'll make you want to explore and find every bit of lore about its world and the intriguing story of Jesse and Dylan Faden. Despite not being free of flaws (especially performance wise on consoles), Remedy Games was able to build one of the best games of the year.
While it's certainly not instant classic status like Alan Wake was for me, it's close. The creepy environment, totally out there storyline, and fun combat give it a unique presence in a world of AAA games that love to repeat the same mechanics and story year after year.
