Control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nudSXUMBEV4 It's hard to articulate exactly why I love Control. It's super janky (okay I love jank in games), none of the guns really felt all that great and it's not like I'm some big Remedy fan. I only played Max Payne 1 and 2 and thought they were fine, but that was it. I really only checked it out because Jeff Gerstmann said it was one of his top 10 games of the decade. Turns out this is secretly a sequel to Alan Wake as well so I need to go back and play that eventually. I think what it came down do was that it was a 3rd person Metroid prime with an x-files type of setting and a ton of cool physic powers you can use (similar to Psi-Ops)....and those are all things I really love and they worked together well to crate an environment I wanted to see every nook and cranny of while I'm basically this late DB/early DBZ character by the end of it. It had the right amount of challenge where while Jesse is sort of fragile and any random enemy or boss could take you out if you're not paying attention, but if you're on it you're just coming at them like a psychic god and no one can stop you. The only thing that really stopped it from ranking higher with me is the ending is kind of anticlimactic and abrupt like they know they already have 2 future DLCs planned with more story, but it's a minor complain in an otherwise great game. --- ...
