What a great game. I knew it was from the same studio from Alan Wake (another great game) but I wasn’t expecting them to merge the universes in such an amazing way. The fact I’m a fan of such a feature, the experience and five-star rating doesn’t stop there. The LORE itself it’s a great push, but what take Control beyond is the story itself and how it works in perfect synchronism with the gameplay.
I need to be clear about the five-star though. It’s not like the game doesn’t have its flaws. It does… There are few bugs here and there, although the game launched a few years ago. The side missions sometimes can be like side chores really, yet those are but little shadows in a utterly brilliant game.

It was a nice experience. But that was all – nice. I wasn’t completely taken by the story, nor the mechanics nor the atmosphere of the world. It was nice to be a cat and do catlike things. It was certainly interesting to explore part of the world and work on little tasks, but I was always caught up with a feeling of “is that all?”.
Our silent protagonist is cute, though empty when peaked beyond the little scratches, jumps and meows. Our pseudo-human partner is very superficial, with little emotional impact when its time came. And the AIs? It did have nice moments but, none of them awesome, deep, or meaningful. And that’s just the thing – nice, neither good nor great.
