Control is so close to being perfect for me. In terms of narrative and where it pulls inspiration (X-Files, SCP, Twilight Zone, etc), it's a 10/10, but I really got tired of the general gameplay loop by the end. The upgrade systems feel very tacked on, side quests are a chore, and switching weapon forms is so unintuitive I never used anything other than Grip and Pierce.
Aside from that, I absolutely love the non-euclidian FBC building as an open world. The subject matter allows for such a great variety of creative areas and it was always a joy scouring for collectibles while exploring a new sector. The game is also gorgeous on a high-end PC. I really love what Remedy did here and am enthralled that this story exists along with the absolute wealth of lore as a pickup per usual rather than pointless items.
Also, this is worth playing for Ashtray Maze alone. One of the coolest video game moments for me in the last decade.
