Control was much better than expected. Although I have to admit that my hopes were low after the disappointment that was Quantum Break.

As the game progresses, you unlock more weapons and special powers, all of which make you feel really powerful (especially after the upgrades).

Speaking of progression, you are given some freedom in how you approach your main and secondary objectives. Although you will eventually be gated from progression, Metroidvania style. This and the need to farm materials for upgrades were the aspects I didn't enjoy as much.

I know it sounds strange, but this is probably the closest we'll ever get to a true Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy sequel.
