I've had a lot of fun with Control over the past couple days. Primarily, I have to give this game credit for it's genuinely intuitive controls/mechanics. They make this game worth playing solely to run from area to area smashing everything up and getting to grips with how you like to fight best. You can upgrade your whole load-out, articulate your abilities however you like, and craft different weapons to suit your approach.

Besides that, though. this game is fairly mediocre. It runs poorly, looks fairly average, and delivers the narrative pretty anemically. Very few characters feel anything more than dry and lacking chemistry with the main character, and the fighting can get very repetetive if it weren't forgiven for how purely satisfying it is to throw boxes at enemies like you're some kind of Jedi.
