Control game review

Genre: Action/Adventure game
Developer: Remedy Entertainment
Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S

Control is a unique action game from Remedy Entertainment, a studio known for its innovative approaches to gameplay and narrative. The game combines elements of science fiction with psychological horror, creating an atmospheric world full of mystery and danger.

Plot
You play as Jessie Fayden, a woman who joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBC), a secret organization dedicated to the study of supernatural phenomena. Jesse searches for his missing father, who participated in the FBC experiments. However, a crisis occurs in the bureau: hostile creatures known as the Unknowns appear in the premises, and the main office itself turns into a dangerous labyrinth.

The plot develops through the exploration of games, meetings with various characters and the completion of tasks that reveal new aspects of both the characters themselves and the secrets of the bureau. The story is permeated with elements of a psychological thriller, and also raises questions about reality, control and power.

Gameplay
Control combines traditional shooter elements with the mechanics of using supernatural abilities. The player has the ability to move objects, fly, manipulate enemies and perform other unusual actions with the help of special powers that develop during the game.

Combat in Control is dynamic and requires a strategic approach. You can combine firearms with various abilities to create combinations of attacks and defenses. This gives the gameplay a lot of flexibility, allowing players to find their own play styles.

In addition to combat, Control offers exploration and puzzle elements. Players can explore the vast expanses of the main office, uncovering its secrets and gathering information about other supernatural phenomena. Each new element or document found adds new touches to the overall picture of the plot.

Visual style and atmosphere
One of the key features of Control is its striking visual style. The game uses ray tracing technology to achieve an extraordinary level of detail and realism. The architecture of the FBC head office looks futuristic and repulsive at the same time, creating a feeling of unfamiliarity and menace.

The sound design also deserves praise: the atmosphere is filled with noises that emphasize the tension and mystical music that enhances the sense of dread and uncertainty.

Result
Control is a game that impresses with its uniqueness and creativity. The combination of exciting plot, innovative gameplay and atmospheric design makes it one of the most interesting games of its time. While not all players may enjoy its slow exploration stages and philosophical themes, for those who are ready for the experience, Control offers an exciting journey into the world of the supernatural.
