Control

You can tell the developers are purposefully trying to screw with you, because I've finished the game, watched a couple of videos on it, and still don't know what the heck they're trying to say.

But that mystery, the game's entire aesthetic and its incredibly satisfying gameplay are what make it one of the most unique games I've played in a while.

Absolutely loved every second of this. Perfect balance of gameplay and storyline only complain is that even after the 2 very good dlc I was left wanting more!

If you loved The Lost Room mini series, you'll love this game. Mystical, creepy and suspenseful with plenty of action.

Control is a great game to pick up and play in terms of giving you an hour or two of high octane enjoyment.

Combat is great, with a mixture of impactful gunplay and several "superpowers". The "Service Weapon", that can mould into several different types of gun, feels forceful. But the superpowers are the highlight. With effortless controls, Jesse can levitate, launch objects through the air, mind control enemies and create a shield of rock pulled from the floor. The graphics and sound design on all these powers are incredible.

The story is interesting, but is not told in the right way. Unless you collect all the collectibles, (files, tapes, etc.), of which there are over 200, you probably won't understand the story. Through normal gameplay and cutscenes it can become nonsensical.

The Foundation DLC was just okay but the AWE DLC was disappointing, with hardly any connection and tie in with Alan Wake whatsoever. It would've been nice to see a few different environments.

I'd definitely recommend Control from a gameplay perspective. The story and narrative could've been so much better.

The game has a great creepy atmosphere. but what i like most in this game is the detailed mess you can cause with your superpowers by flipping officetabels. I don't know any other game which is soo detailed.
