Control is somewhat of a hit and miss for me. I think the game's atmosphere and story are good. The extra added flavor of lore and context through the collectables are cool too. Especially, the Alan Wake material since I played this game in preparation for Alan Wake 2. The ending kinda stinks, but that's all the negatives I have for when it comes to this game's story.
On the other hand, the gameplay is mechanically cool. I really like Jesse's powers. They're really cool and it controls well. It just sucks that the actual combat of the game is somewhat repetitive. I feel the same way towards the first Alan Wake except the gameplay here is obviously better. I just wish there was more to it than launching objects because this game has really sick abilities.
THE MAZE WAS PEAK THOUGH!!!!! ALSO, MAKE SURE TO DO THE SELF-REFLECTION SIDE MISSION!
The Foundation DLC was pretty good. I think the areas were fun to explore and I liked the powers introduced. The Swift Platform side mission was really cool too. Also, you can get cat ears with this first expansion which is cool. The 2nd DLC, AWE, wasn't as good. For Alan Wake fans, it's cool and I did like the contents it offered while teasing the sequel. However, I found the areas to explore not as interesting to explore and more one-noted. Feels a bit more copy & pasted. I will say though that both these DLCs really add to the experience of Control (esp The Foundation).
