Super late to the party but Control is really good… (lemmy.world)

It’s been on my ‘one of those days’ list for years now, and with Resonance out, they ran a $6 Steam sale for the original which put it in the impulse buy category. Fast forward a week and I’m out of town for work with some hotel time to kill so hooked my Steamdeck up to the TV and gave it a go and wow… I see what the hype is about.

Any non spoiler tips, tricks, or things I should be on the lookout for?

Yeah, I'm with you on this, and wish I had done so in hindsight. The gameplay was interesting for about a couple of hours, but ultimately I think the game's more about the graphics in the quieter moments--although as a raytracing showcase, it's less impressive now than it was in 2019--and the wacky stuff it comes up with than anything.

    Still beautiful architecture. The hardware that can run it with ray tracing on is probably more expensive now than it was in 2019 🫠, however it looks almost exactly the same without ray tracing since it has really good baked lighting.
