This game is a nice departure into mysterious phenomena, although it appears similar to SCP I can say that after playing it this feels more like like something out of the Twilight Zone. With some of the funny and strange artifacts you encounter. Beautiful game with fun combat. This is my first Castlevania-styled game and I liked it a lot!

• Beautiful visuals if your computer can handle them!
  
• Abilities not only look cool, but are really fun to use. You get an arsenal of around 6 things and you will eventually use them all in the campaign
  
• No difficulty slider, this helped the game feel more solid in pace
  
• Modding is always welcomed, some of the mods are better than others but these can completely change your play style. At first I went for energy goblin but by the end I started using recharging shields and evasion ammo restore
  
• Tons of lore to get into, although the story was alright in my opinion; it is very clear that they went the extra miles to make this universe believable

• The map is confusing and so are objectives. As I stated earlier this is my first time with a game that has you repeatedly visiting the old parts of a map. However in this case the game would give me pretty vague instructions and I found myself spending too much time trying to find objectives at awkward moments. Like looking for an elevator for example! Running around in circles for 5 mins is just silly
  
• The outfits are okay, but I feel like they could have been much better. Of the whole roster only 3 stand out to me
  
• There needs to be more replay value. Since this game is set up as a Metroidvania they can kind of make this game endless. The board countermeasures are okay but are boring and stupid once you have everything. The alerts are better, but fall flat in the fact that they are rare and random.
  
• One achievement was bugged, but thankfully the community helped me solve the issue

I really did enjoy Control, somehow from the very start of the game I could tell that this was a game I would get 100% of the trophies in. Throughout the whole experience I was having a good time and found myself wishing there was even more once I had finished it all. That's a good sign in my opinion!

I'm not the kind of person that needs constant action and exposition mouth-fed to me. I like that this game lets you just get immersed in the "going ons" and really discover how the world works at your own pace. For some people this game will be drastically shorter than it was for me, but for what it was I liked Control and I honestly had no clue Alan Wake was in this universe lol! I heard something of the new game coming out so I guess this means I'm gonna be hype for Alan Wake??


Anyways, thanks for reading the review! Here's a link to the store page :)
