    I have gotta say, I think the combat was even better than you gave Control credit for. I have never seen telekinesis done as extraordinarily well as in this game. The levitation also feels damn great in combination with the dash move . It is damn near perfect except for the aiming bug which you mentioned. Let's face it, this combat on top of a lightsabre melee mechanic would be the ideal, dream-come-true scenario for a Star Wars game with jedis and blasters.

  • @b34k97
    @b34k97 Жыл бұрын

    Just started Control a few weeks back and I'm about halfway through now. Man is it good! The combat just feels so polished. There's enough enemy types, weapons, and abilities that you have to keep your strategy varied for success, yet you can fall back on some of your favorites (mine is definitely the telekinetic launch). Combine that with the real creepy atmosphere and this game is just a real winner.

    I just got this game last week (on Steam, no EGS for me still) and I watched 4 reviews since then, wondering if everyone else thought it was as amazing as I did. And every single one of them mentions the "inner monologue." Except, it's not. If you pay attention to the story, Jesse is talking to Polaris, not herself. Now, yes, this is technically a thought inside her own head (i.e. she isn't verbalizing it aloud) however since it is a conversation with another character, it isn't a monologue. And if the VA didn't voice it aloud for us, there would be no way for us to know about this dialogue - which is absolutely what it is, dialogue, not a monologue. I'm not sure if I'm the only person alive who picked up on this or what. I've never played any previous Remedy game, so I'm getting the impression that in previous games it WAS a monologue and thus a bunch of reviewers are ASSUMING it's a monologue this time around.

    This game has aged very well. I think it went under the radar for some time as the confusing as hell beginning threw a lot of people off from playing more. It was confusing for those familiar with Remedy and their quirks let alone those who were not. A game that does NOT treat you as an idiot and discovery and untangling the narrative as enjoyable as the gameplay. Not a long game but not short either with meticulous metrovania pacing. 9/10.

    I'm definitely getting a Quantum Break/Max Payne/Alan Wake vibe when it comes to Control, which isn't a bad thing, especially considering how much I enjoyed those titles. The voice acting is pretty good. Combat is satisfying (both the gunplay and the powers). Destructible environments are highly appreciated. The visuals look great. The story is enjoyable. I like the level design as well. The game's replayability is always a major plus. Sure, there are a few issues. However, they don't detract from the overall experience. Having said that, I would love to buy the game as soon as I get the chance to do so. It looks very interesting and intriguing. With that aside, thanks once again Karak. I really appreciate the continued hard work!
