Telekinesis on max setting

Control follows the journey of Jesse Faden, a woman searching for answers. She slowly grows into her newfound role of directing a secretive agency that has been invaded by an otherworldly force.

Impressive environments and gunplay

Control is a supernatural action-adventure played in 3rd person that’ll lead you through an unpredictable, twisted world.

Control is a game that brings a lot to the table. It offers a unique story to play through and a well-developed combat system.

To start, every area you walk through is highly detailed. Set within a New York building, rooms of tormented reality and shifting architecture turn into your darkest nightmare.

The reactive spaces only enhance the game’s combat mechanics, letting you use the environment to put down your enemies. You can also use rituals to change your surroundings. More importantly, combat is influenced by your upgrade choices and modified loadouts.

As the story progresses, you’ll explore more of the building in your search for answers that may be as disturbing as the bodies floating midair in many of the rooms. After all, reality is corrupted and changed into a shadow of what it once was.

However, being as story-driven as Control is, the game does take a while before it starts to shine. This means you’ll explore rooms and come across new discoveries at a slow but steady pace, all while you wait for upgrades and new ways to mix up your loadout. Finding the truth isn’t a quick task, after all. In this case, though, some players might find the slow progression a little boring.

Where can you run this program?

Control is available for Windows 10.

Is there a better alternative?

No. Control is quite unique, offering a dark reality that’s unhinged from what you know and an impressive story to match. The style isn’t for everyone, however, and you may prefer Gears 5 or Tomb Raider.

Our take

Control is a wonderful game that fulfills the expectations you’d have with any major narrative-driven title. Skill-based combat and reactive environments will have a lasting effect on you for years to come.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you’re a fan of the supernatural, then this is an amazing action-adventure game to add to your list.
