It was also on sale on PC, I've been getting lost in it. It's amazing. It makes me wonder if I should be playing Alan Wake as well. I once got Alan Wake II with my GPU but I sold it

    Alan Wake 2 is the direct sequel to both Alan Wake and Control so you should definitely get it if you liked Control. There is also a Control-centric expansion for AW2 just as there was an Alan Wake expansion for Control.

    I recently played through both Alan Wakes and Control with all the expansions and it's an AWEsome experience on par with playing through the Mass Efect trilogy IMO.

    Yeah, Control rules! I thought the enemy variety was a bit lacking, but other than that, it was a blast.

    A long time back I got this game for free from the epic game store, it totally blew my mind. The world this game exists in is so well developed, I think the setting is my favorite character. I loved the panopticon, I loved offices covered in insane sticky notes, I of course loved the ashtray maze, oh my God that was freaking awesome.

    This game is something special.

    When you reach the maze, get your headphones. It's an awesome experience.

    I have both Epic and GOG copies from two different free offers and played it a bunch, but could never finish it. I enjoy the atmosphere and the story, but the fights got repetitive and difficult (not in a good way). I stopped at some boss fight, then later decided to pick it up again and eventually stopped at another artificial roadblock.

    Looking forward to Control 2.

    It really is. A lot of Remedy’s stuff I’ve had fun with, but CONTROL was definitely one of their greatest works

    I'm pretty sure I own it in on four different storefronts and I've never paid for it. It's a lot of fun but I stopped playing before I got to fly. I don't remember why.

    It's pretty repetitive.

    I don't necessarily mean that as a bad thing - at least some of what you repeat (picking up shit and throwing it around telekinetically) is a lot of fun, IMO.

    I enjoyed it through the end and the DLCs too, but I could also understand why people might get tired of the game before beating it.

    Once I could yeet chunks of the building at people & OBLITERATE them & watch their bodies flail & crumple, I knew this was my kind of game.

    This game bugged me, it totally missed the SCP vibe for me and it put me off. I also found the combat pretty boring.

    I always liked the way that SCP is about a bureaucratic organisation trying to control and contain these supernatural entities. In Control they live inside an entity and literally let one control the organisation. That just seems so anti-SCP to me.
