𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞:

Remedy has already proved to me in "Quantum Break" that they can create cool, crazy third-person action, and they demonstrate this again in "Control".

As usual with Remedy, in the game "Control" you will find a rather confusing story, and perhaps the most confusing of all stories at the moment. In the role of Jesse Feiden, you find yourself in a secret American agency called the Federal Bureau of Control in search of your brother, who was abducted by this agency several decades ago. However, the agency is empty and infected with some kind of psychic force. You find the dead director of the agency and automatically become the new director, taking his mental service weapon. And now you are faced with the task of using psychic abilities to rid the supernatural agency of the psychic force that has invaded it, while continuing to search for your own brother.

This particular initial situation is, in fact, very funny and fascinating. First of all, it offers the basis for an unusual and cool gameplay. Gradually, you unlock new psychic abilities and weapon modes to, for example, levitate or throw objects through the air. The gameplay is excellent and gives a lot of fun. Gradually, you work your way through various departments of power, learn more about them and about the supernatural-esoteric reality that the authorities are trying to hide from the public, and move the plot forward.

The extravagant nature of the story and the extravagant levels that follow from it are the best entertainment. Of course, if you like mundane literature, you should give preference to Control, but if you like fiction and mystery at least a little, you will get a whole truck of fun here. It is a pity, however, that much remains mysterious and unclear until the very end. But this in itself can be experienced.

The plot is more problematic. Not only does it have several holes, but, unfortunately, it remains extremely flat. This is facilitated by the extremely weak performance of the actors, and a poorly written script. The great catastrophe, the huge danger emanating from an alien force, all the victims to which it leads, as well as the supposedly very emotional search for a sibling are shown incredibly emotionless. The main character remains ultra-pale and seems untouched by all this horror. Unfortunately, this deprives the game of a huge amount of atmosphere, which in fact should make up a large part of the game.

There remains only an unusual gameplay. It's solid, and the controls are mostly very intuitive. However, in the second half of the game it loses its appeal because over time it seems extremely repetitive. As a result, even the unusual abilities of the main character lose their appeal at some point. There could be a lot more of them with a lot of variety. I think of a wild train chase with a movie camera at the ready. The game could have used more of these special moments. (And whoever is thinking now: what the hell did he mean by that? Welcome to the crazy world of Control...).

On the other hand, what's great is the graphics and sound. Especially real fragments of films that are interspersed every now and then, very cool and appropriate.

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭:

In general, this is a strong and fascinating third-person action game, with an interesting story and creative mechanics, which, however, has serious drawbacks in terms of plot and acting and becomes very repetitive towards the end. Therefore, this is not a masterpiece, but still a recommended game, especially for fans of strange mysterious stories.
