Control: Is It Open World? What You Need to Know

Is Control Open World? What You Need to Know

Well, Control isn’t an open world game in the same vein as The Witcher 3 or Breath of the Wild, but it has Metroidvania elements that require you to backtrack through certain areas of the Oldest House.

The further you progress in Control, you will begin to have access to more and more areas in this big ol’ building.

It’s sort of like Batman: Arkham Asylum in which you’re not roaming a huge open area that stretches far as the eye can see, but there are several expansive areas that are self-contained.

As you make progress in the story, you’ll unlock new areas that you couldn’t get to before, and you’ll be explore those areas in their full. There are hidden areas, side-missions and more to reward those that fully explore the FBC building.

And that’s pretty much everything you need to know about whether or not Control is open world.
