Great action supernatural game.

I'm about half done on it has I write this review and got to say it's been a blast! The story has kept me interested, alot of it comes thought collectables has you pick them up and it keeps you interested in the story. The graphics look great even on my old ps4, there is a problem with frame rates dropping during some big battles (when you have more then 2 or 3 enemies caming at you). which is a let down, but heard this is mainly a problem for vanilla ps4 and xbox one. Basically, if you played alan wake, then the enemies in this game feel like the enemies from that game and if you played Quantum Break, then the abilities you have and gun fight is from that, put them together and you get control. The studio does a great job of putting a story together and its great to have an supernatural kind of horror mix with sci-fi single player story, there not enough of these known days with big studios wanna to do online. welcome change.

Weirdly compelling, but not without a lot of problems.

I love floating around, ripping a big chunk of floor off with my mind and throwing it at the enemy, finishing them off with a quick bullet to the face. The story is electric, the acting and dialogue is perfect, and the ideas are unique. You have never played anything like this.

But (BUT!) the PS4 version has a dodgy map that sometimes doesn't work properly, the frame rate drops when the fighting gets fierce, reading files after you pick them up is fiddly, the menus are jerky and unresponsive, and the mods and upgrades are so boring and unnecessary that they feel like they were added a week before launch.

Yeah, there's a lot to frustrate and annoy in Control, but if you have the patience and are prepared to put up with a lot of mildly annoying bugs and design choices, you'll find a lot to love in this imaginative, twisted adventure.

Fantastic!

What a game! Picked this up on a whim as a massive fan of Max Payne and Alan Wake and I am not disappointed at all. The story is gripping and intriguing, the pacing is near perfect, the world is mysterious and the game play although doesn't do anything particularly new still manages to feel fresh, weighty and fun at all times! A truly unique experience and so far one of my favorite games of the generation so far.

The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star review is the frame rate on a vanilla PS4, it drops substantially whenever you are in a big firefight (which happens throughout most of the game) although I hear this is much better on the PS4 Pro! Hopefully the developers will be able to fix this in a future update. Despite this, its a must play game!

A flawed gem.

Fun gameplay and constant creepy atmosphere is let down by a lacklustre ending that skimps on the seemingly inevitable confrontation (that I don’t doubt will be in one of the 2 DLCs).

Patches seemed to fix some of the performance issues I experienced on my PS4 Pro, but to say it ran smoothly would be a lie.

Buy when its price drops. It’s a neat little game that I enjoyed playing and I hope the DLC gives us a proper ending or at least a satisfying opening for a sequel.

A disturbingly odd, surprisingly engaging, and raucously fun game with some enjoyable quirks.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 September 2019

Platform For Display: PS4 LimitedVerified Purchase

Firstly, I haven't had any performance issues and I'm playing it on a lowly ps4. I've pushed it with the destruction physics as they're the best I've seen and are ludicrously fun - have had no issues.

The atmosphere of this title is great, the gameplay is varied and fun, and there is no handholding. You're here, you're the [redacted], get used to it. You're very much thrust into things from the beginning, the difficulty swings up and down in a way that keeps you on your toes and not knowing what to expect, even round famiar corners.

It won't often have you jumping, but it does keep you constantly unsettled. It feels like an early episode of the X-Files with a small dose of Legion. If you like quirk and imagination and, perhaps, not always knowing what the hell is going on, this won't disappoint.

Aesthetically pleasing

Quality game from a quality developer. Combat is fluid and responsive. Character feels great to have. World building and lore is engaging and encourages exploration. Performances are all solid.
Issues with frame rate when action gets to hectic. Slow load times and the odd case of bugs.
Worth it alone for the combat. Story and aesthetics are a great bonus.
Pick it up at any price if possible.

The game itself looks and plays great! It pulls you in straight away with it's original design and mechanics.
However, the minute things get heated with multiple enemies on screen the games frame rate grinds to a halt, almost freezing entirely at some points.
I'm not usually one of those guys who cares about frame rates etc, but at the minute this game is close to unlpayable at times.

Great game but with some heavy performance issues on consoles.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 August 2019

Platform For Display: PS4 LimitedVerified Purchase

Overall Control has the potential to be an amazing game across the board, with the unique style of story, immersive world and gratifying gameplay.

However I'd personally wait to buy it on consoles until they figure out a workaround for the horrendous frame rate drops and screen stuttering/freezes found on baseline consoles like the PS4/Xbox One S.

Frame rates do appear to be more tolerable on the enhanced consoles but if you can't wait to play it and have a capable gaming PC, I'd heavily suggest taking that route.
