[GymWolf]

Best remedy game since max payne saga, fight me.

 

[M1chl]

Too low for best game of previous gen

 

[tusharngf]

much better than Alan wake 2..Also, the courtney did a great job in the game.

 

[Big Baller]

Best remedy game since max payne saga, fight me.

Saga is Max Payne? That Remedy universe is out of control.

Terrible map, useless upgrades, boring characters, shitton of boring documents in every room absolutely destroying any pacing, lack of enemy variety, did I miss something?

No, you've covered the gamut of bad opinions

The map was bad, I'll give you that.

 

[skit_data]

Awesome game, bar the useless map

 

[dickpretzel]

I thought the atmosphere was cool until the characters started talking

 

[Terenty]

No, you've covered the gamut of bad opinions

After experiencing perfection that is Resident Evil 4 Remake I can't take any of these 3rd person shooters/cinematic experiences seriously, shit feels amateur in comparison

 

[barslan]

"Control" is one of my favorite games in every aspect. (Story, atmosphere, gameplay, reward system, graphics, animations, weapons, heroine...)

 

[Dr.Morris79]

did I miss something?

Taste.

 

[Roberts]

Best game they have ever made. As much as I enjoyed certain elements of Alan Wake 2, as a whole, it is nowhere near as captivating.

 

[Kupfer]

Great game. It took some time for me to get into it, but once I was, I platinumed it in no time.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Best remedy game since max payne saga, fight me.

You have my axe brother.

One of the best games I've ever played, the sense of dread this game conveys via its cold, lifeless environments, readable documents and sound production is second to none, absolutely brilliant atmosphere, in fact, I'd go as far as to say that Control is actually moodier and scarier than most horror games out there.

It's a must play for people that enjoy anything paranormal and shows like the X-files, Fringe etc...

It's a 9/10 game for me personally, it's an absolutely brilliant, slowburn game.

 

[Duchess]

I always tell people Control is what you'd get if David Lynch made a video game.

 

[Robb]

Cool, I enjoyed it a lot.

 

[T-Cake]

Best remedy game since max payne saga, fight me.

Put em up, bro. It's Quantum Break.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Best remedy game since max payne saga, fight me.

It's up there, it really is.. But Max Payne just edges it for me, just! The story, gunplay, ambient sounds, the humour..

That damn game got me into PC's

Control though, what a game. Played it on all platforms so far, Just like Max, can't get enough.

If Control 2 has been infected with that Baby inc turd It truly will be a sad day indeed.

 

[adamsapple]

Great game. It took some time for me to get into it, but once I was, I platinumed it in no time.

Platinum and 1000G here. The sense of discovery and exploration is bar-none, and that's double fantastic cause the entire game takes place in a single building.

 

[Gojiira]

Deserves, best game by Remedy hands down.
As much as I love Max Payne, I prefer Controls setting and story.
Hopefully the sequel is better than AW2 was…

 

[Hudo]

Deserved. Second-best Remedy game ever.

 

[Senua]

After experiencing perfection that is Resident Evil 4 Remake I can't take any of these 3rd person shooters/cinematic experiences seriously, shit feels amateur in comparison

Come on dude if you're comparing everything to RE4, you're going to end up not liking anything else lol

 

[BigLee74]

Interesting premise, enjoyable for a bit, quickly becoming very boring.

Thats my Control experience.

Max Payne runs circles around it. Quantum Break runs circles around it. Alan Wake runs circles around it.

 

[cormack12]

Amazing game, one of my all time faves.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Easily their best game, should've sold more.

I said since max payne saga, those 2 are clearly their masterpieces where control is just a great game.

 

[GymWolf]

Put em up, bro. It's Quantum Break.

I couldn't even finish quantum break

 

[MikeM]

Well deserved. Got the platinum on PS5.

 

[lughnasadh123]

The map was complete and utter garbage. I'll never understand why people defend being obtuse over improved usability for the player. The shooting was alright. Upgrades were...something to put points into I guess.

The best parts were the lore, the blending of the normal and paranormal, and using telekinesis to fly around smashing through glass sending stacks of papers everywhere. If any game needs a series based on it, it's this.

 

[jonnyp]

Cannot understand the love for this mediocrity.

 

[near]

What was garbage about it? Navigation?

 

[scoobidoo112]

Terrible map, useless upgrades, boring characters, shitton of boring documents in every room absolutely destroying any pacing, lack of enemy variety, did I miss something?

Nuance. You missed having any semblance of nuance.

It's the difference between this is not for me or this game had flaws and ThIS iS TOtaL Ut&er Tra$H TeH GamE SuCkZz

 

[Slikk360]

I enjoyed it enjoyed thought it was cool and I gpt the platinum trophy

 

[Kerotan]

I'm surprised it's not higher

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I said since max payne saga, those 2 are clearly their masterpieces where control is just a great game.

Yeah, I erm, I noticed that after I posted..

Sssshh, they'll never notice

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Played it on PS4 Pro, excellent game. The atmosphere was ace and the world created was great as well. Enjoyed playing as Jessie.

 

[SportsFan581]

Platinum and 1000G here. The sense of discovery and exploration is bar-none, and that's double fantastic cause the entire game takes place in a single building.

I picked it up during the holiday sales but still haven't gotten around to it yet. Story of my backlog. Your positive reviews were one of the main reasons I decided to grab it.

Congratz to Remedy they have a unique style, so it is always good to see that rewarded for them.

 

[AJUMP23]

really enjoyed this game. Played it on Gamepass and thought it was a lot of fun.

 

[TVexperto]

Terrible map, useless upgrades, boring characters, shitton of boring documents in every room absolutely destroying any pacing, lack of enemy variety, did I miss something?

the level design and minimap literally made me sick

 

[RickMasters]

So happy for remedy. It’s one of the few studios where I can say I have all their games.max pain, Alan wake, quantum break, control…. All quality games.


Looking forward to what we they do next. I have confidence in them!

Fuck, they had an ipo? 4 million is good pocket money. Now someone beat the shit out of Sam Lake, make a lot of high res shots of the hemorrhages and bruises on his face and do a proper Max Payne.

 

[lughnasadh123]

What was garbage about it? Navigation?

Everything. They could remove it and it wouldn't matter one bit. Why even bother having it at that point?

 

[Magic Carpet]

Great game and great setting. The game was also given away everywhere on stores and services.

 

[Mister Wolf]

One of my favorite game.
