Control – New PS4 Games (August 2019)
Control is the latest game from Remedy, the makers of Max Payne and Alan Wake, and it doubles down on supernatural storytelling. The PS4 title casts you as Jesse Faden, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), who’s responsible for housing and investigating items that can’t be explained through scientific means.
As Jesse arrives at the FBC storage facility, The Oldest House, she finds it under assault from a supernatural entity known as the Hiss. You’ll have to explore the Oldest House to figure out what’s going on, encountering a number of the items stored there in the process.
At its core, Control is most easily compared to a Metroidvania, as you’ll have to explore the facility and find new abilities that then let you open up even more of the facility. Combat in control is similar to Quantum Break, using a combination of telekinesis powers and gunplay.
Remedy is known for making incredibly unique games, and Control definitely seems like it’s right up that alley. It could be one of the biggest sleeper hits on PS4 this whole year.
