The DLC chapters of 'Control' do more to upgrade Jesse's skillset and costume closet than they do to move the story forward. I find the lore of 'Control' to be a bit inpenetrable even before 'The Foundation' and there is no more elegance here. 'The Foundation' is fun to play, just as is all of 'Control,' but from a story perspective, it is inessential. That said, 'Jesse Faden Starring in Swift Platform,' a side mission buried here in a DLC chapter, is maybe the coolest sequence in the entire game.
