I thought it was great. Highly recommend getting it. Intriguing world, gameplay that keeps getting added to and even optional abilities. The idea of the oldest house is awesome as well.

a 4/10 is for broken games usually. i mean, is it really a 4?

Control is no 4/10.

I finished it yesterday and I liked it, a 8/10 from me. I love mind fu** games and movies.

This is where you lose credibility as a critic. In no way, shape, or form is control a 4/10.

Sounds a lot like how I felt about Quantum Break. It was good but also majorly disappointing.

Wow what a shock a no name website puts out their review almost a month after a hit game has been out with a ridiculously low clickbait score smh

It sounds like a typical Remedy game. Good at one thing, severely lacking in another.

Game was fantastic. Still one of the best released this year in my book and the combat is a good build off of Quantum Break. Also, the main campaign isn’t the draw. It’s the world they’ve created with OoP and such. That was the true draw for me, the lore nerd.

it wasn't fun, I still haven't finished it . . I just can't get into it .

That's a dishonest or ill-conceived score for this game. I could understand a 6 or 7, but not a 4.

My biggest problem with Control is more aesthetic. I think it looks like ass most of the time, even though it has the worst performance of any of my PC games. (No Man's Sky comes close.) The stark lighting in combination with the pea-soup fog everywhere ruins what would probably be a great-looking game world. From a technology standpoint, it's a waste. I would have preferred an older, more efficient game engine with clearer vistas into the impressive geometry (and better frame rates, and lower GPU temperatures).

BS, also nice job with the clickbait troll review. The game came out weeks ago, you're late.

4/10? My ass

Wow , haters much

I like Control but even if you hate it I’d say it’s a 6/10 because it a well produced game . I’d give it a 7.5

I think I read this only sold 120K copies across all platforms. If so it would really show how much the audience cared for it. Seemed to mimic Quantum Break in many areas as well.

Clearly clickbait. Some of the best gameplay this gen. Had more fun in the few hours playing this than I have most games this gen.
I'd give it a solid 9.

Edit: Lol they gave this a 4 and gears a 9. Loooooooooooooool Control shits all over gears then makes it lick itself clean.

"a game that has near universal praise. But what did we think of it? Oh..."

When you include that sentence in a review, you know full well the site is click baiting...

"everyone else is liking it. Guess we've gotta act like it sucks!"

I would give this 6/10 if I'm generous. People just want to give Remedy an easy past. This game bore me to death with it blend story, and average gameplay. Graphic are great but it isn't inspiring for me to go on any further especially with low fun factor. No wonder I end up stopped playing and solely focus on Astral Chain instead.

Finished the game.. The Map is confusing.. other than that there s no problem.. And yes game is little bit hard.. i think Control is 8/10 game..

Control feels like a step forward in terms of story, narrative, and design, but in terms of gameplay I think it harkens back to a simpler time. Nothing wrong with that. But I'm still waiting for a game, other than made by Naughty Dog, that evolves SP gameplay in a way that doesn't just involve making a big open world and then making you run around between repetitive side quests fighting wolves.

I think a major thing is AI. Until we can make NPC characters more interesting, it's hard to get away from what was basically set out by Half Life 2 and Max Payne. We need AI that can do more than move between 3 states: patrol, hunt, and combat. AI that actually feels like it has agency in the game world. That will be a big change, not just in how games play, but also how they are designed. Imagine a game where you are up against foes who can hide, juke, trick and hunt you, or just capture you and question you, where groups of AI all get their own social dynamics - like hierarchy, status, personality type.

All that said, until we get there it's hard to critique contemporary games like Control for not being generational leaps forward in gameplay design, when they essentially present what would currently be considered a mastery of the craft of making games with our current tech.

The only issue I had with the game is that it ended too soon. Other than that it's shaping to be my goty so far.

To each their own I personally loved it but yeah its not a perfect game (no game really is) an 8/10 for me.

I find Control tries too hard to be weird. Just feels forced and try-hard. I can see what Remedy is trying to do — David Lynch-esque tone — but that’s not easy to nail. I don’t think Remedy has quite nailed that tone yet, honestly.

I’m definitely interested.

It took me three tries to get into the game, each time starting from the beginning. It is a really great game, not sure why I couldn't get into it the first two times.

I Didnt mind the game but the environments were very blocky like early PS stuff...didnt finish it tbh...hoping the next one is better though

It's not going to do well. Hopefully they did pour too many resources in this project.
