I enjoyed Control quite a bit. The lore of the game is very interesting if you take the time to read/listen/watch all the things you can find. Very SCP meets 1960's Government Bureaucracy.

Gameplay wise the combat is relatively enjoyable as you gain powers to levitate in the air, dash around and throw just about everything at enemies. The environment is great with all the physics work they did. There's enough mods that you can build your arsenal and character in a style you enjoy.

Storywise it's mostly just ok, it's actually fairly basic and really doesn't explore the characters at all within it. You learn more about some of the bigger players by reading the lore scattered around. It's much more mundane than the lore it's wrapped in.

The main drawback is that the end of the game is pretty abrupt and anti-climatic considering what came before. The other issue is the combat, while it is fun at a certain point you're just fighting the same enemies over and over again along with the fact that bosses are just the same enemies with more HP. The game doesn't really design itself to use it's more fantastical lore/powers to make interesting set pieces for bosses.

It's enjoyable and I look forward to a Control 2 one day where maybe they can fix some of the shortcomings of this one. But worth grabbing on a sale.
