Winner of over 80 awards, Control is a visually stunning third-person action-adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
This is a good game. I need to finish it but God damn the difficulty spikes hard at certain points. It was basically not even challenging until I got to like the 3rd or 4th boss and then it became harder than Dark Souls. The references and humor are off the chain, though. They not only have analogues to popular SCPs, they reference their own games like Alan Wake and Max Payne in both story and game mechanics and it’s awesome.
Also: I feel bad for the dude who had to keep his eyes on that fridge. So close to being rescued…
they reference their own games like Alan Wake
They don’t just reference Alan Wake. Alan Wake and Control are literally in the same universe.
There’s a DLC that connects the two together, and there will probably have a lot of connections to Control in Alan Wake 2. I’m sure that’s part of the reason for the sale.
Pro tip. Upgrade launch damage, made the game a ton easier. There’s also Gameplay assistances if it’s feeling a bit too difficult. I used this for the Alan Wake DLC .
It’s mostly the non-humanoid bosses that take a few tries just to understand their attack patterns. The humanoid dudes got spongey, but I haven’t died to them yet. There’s also the RNG upgrade bits that can make it easier or harder. I got lucky and have basically infinite ammo and I gain back health as I deal damage with those. It just doesn’t help when you die because the Eldritch horror you have to look up at to make sure you’re not slapped is also breaking the floor below you and you fall through into the void. lol
Totally just a skill issue on my part.
