This is my what, third Control copy after EGS and PS4? So I'm a little bit biased.

That being said, it's still Remedy's most coherent game to date, where weird stuff is perfectly supported by the strong and unique gameplay loop. Control is also artistically brilliant and coherent and looks great even after all these years.

Plus, it's basically an SCP fanfic made with an AAA budget. DLCs are too formulaic in gameplay department to my taste, but AWE is a nice narrative bridge to AW 2 and The Foundation will clearly have an impact in Resonant.

Plus Ahti. Perkelle.

three hours in when traveling to the maintenance area, My entire PC would crash. I proceeded to duplicate this 3 more times after loading back into the same area. According to Reddit there is a setting in BIOS i could turn off to help with this, but im not going through my bios for a video game. If it wasnt for this experience I would say the game is excellent with a interesting story, however I refuse to recommend if the game isnt optimzed and others have reported these same computer crashing issues.

Immaculate visuals supporting pretty boilerplate third person shooting.
