Great game all around with stunning visuals and pretty engaging combat. In combination with a somewhat interesting but very mysterious story. Worth a playthrough on anything but it is one of the best implementations of raytracing I have seen. Worth a buy at its usual $10 sale price.
The style is not like much I have ever seen and it pulls off a great mysterious atmosphere that kept me hooked and playing. Control manages to have a great art direction, high fidelity and a refreshing visual style that is further enhanced with great ray tracing and post processing. With a 3060 I would able to push the game to max and have just about 60 fps all around with dips in combats and increases in breaks of action.
It leaves a lot of questions unanswered while also giving great bread crumbs with lore collectibles which is just enough to be engaging but not teasing. The great Foundation DLC also does a great job of fleshing out but not fully some elements of the main game in a fantastic way.
Only thing I did not like is sometimes enemies would respawn just way too quick, I would leave the room and they would be back if i turned around and some side missions just really do not feel worth doing. There were some enemies that killed me incredibly quick at times that I could not see but nothing that made me want to put the game down in a rage. Also I was not a fan of the Alan Wake DLC because I personally do not like Alan Wake but fighting the invincible monster with light was a fun puzzle. Lastly it really feels like a game that was suited for New Game plus but does not have it. These are just small nitpicks over a fantastic package over all.
