Control is a surreal action game blending sci-fi, horror, and mystery. As Jesse Faden, you explore a shifting brutalist building overtaken by a force called the Hiss. With powers like telekinesis and levitation, you fight enemies and uncover secrets. The game combines shooter combat with metroidvania design and rich environmental storytelling. Inspired by Annihilation and Twin Peaks, Control delivers a visually stunning, atmospheric, and deeply original experience.

As a huge art-house film fan, I imagine this is probably how my friends feel when I strongly encourage them to watch a film that shook me to my core that they can acknowledge it's made very well, but completely does not affect them. Control, on paper, is a great stylistic and thematic game. But the dull venues, repetitive combat and frustrating side missions through me off of it. The good news is I played it for Free thanks to PS+ and maybe someday I'll come back to it.
Definitely worth a go. Was glad it came onto gamepass as it was on my 'to play' list for a while. Really interesting setting and execution. Combat is decent but very frustrating at times. I can see why they added 'assist' mode and without it I probably would have rage quit long before the end.
Really enjoyed the narrative and MC though and the Ashtray maze was definitely a highlight.
Probably one of my favourite game ever. Everything is so cerebral and complicated and then they hit you in the face with the Ashtray Maze. Masterpiece
