Control is a third-person action game that takes place in the headquarters of a secret organization called the Federal Bureau of Control. Players take control of Jesse Faden as she arrives amidst an otherworldly crisis on the lookout for her brother. The gameplay is mainly combat-driven, a mix of third-person shooting and wielding of special abilities.
The released last year to a somewhat divisive critical reception. Twinfinite had mixed feelings about the game, thoroughly enjoying some aspects of but slightly disappointed by others. We scored it 3.5/5 and concluded:
“If Remedy just let Control get a little bit weirder and fully leaned into its Metroidvania inspired gameplay, it could have been something really special.”
