CONTROL


I figured I’d enjoy the vibe from reading about it, but I’m having more fun with it than I expected. If you enjoy gubmint conspiracies and stuff like the SCP Foundation, you’ll probably get a kick out of the aesthetic at least.

Gameplay-wise, it’s a third-person shooter Metroidvania - which is to say abilities and keys you pick up along the way open up new paths in a sprawling complex and there’s plenty of gun stuff. It’s at least as much about the story and spooky government conspiracy vibes as the combat, though - so if you’re here for some hardcore test-your-mettle stuff you might have more fun elsewhere. For me, though - this hits the sweet spot.


It’s even full of old keyboards!
