Control has excellent vibes and presentation and is a satisfying to play. It has barely scratched the surface with what the formula can do and I'm excited to see what they can do next.
Extremely hard for this game to stand out when it came out after Arkham City and before Arkham Knight but is not a direct sequel and instead a prequel.
This game is held back by trying to be a Deus Ex game.
It is at its best when it's leaning into the things that make it great (the vibes, the combat mechanics, etc) and at its worst when it's trying to replicate a timeless classic.
