      Control is solidly in the 80s on metacritic. That’s not an instant classic or anything but decidedly not ”mixed reviews."

        If you have the time and patience to read the notes and watch the videos littered throughout the game and really immerse yourself in the world that Remedy has created, it’s worth it for sure.

        Especially so if you like SCP Foundation stories.

        They’ve fixed most of the bugs the first game used to have, and the combat is as hard or easy as you want to make it with accessibility options.

        The newer one is a little more tedious compared to the first one, so it’s been kind of a slow burn IMO.

        In my opinion it’s unfortunately a very disappointing sequel, I played for some time and the writing is horrrible. I felt like this is a beautiful mysterious puzzle game (like the exceptional first game) but here the dialogues are so unbearably expositional it’s like the puzzle telling you how to solve itself. It took away all the pleasure for me :(
