I read about the SCP Foundation a little bit after I started playing Control, and obviously Control is heavily influenced by that. It's not even the first game based on the SCP since indie developers have created SCP-based games before. However, no one can deny that Control is that idea brought to life in its grandest and most stunning form yet. The Old House is genuinely one of the best worlds any game has ever taken place in. It's very rare for any game to have such a strong sense of wonder, where it feels like there's a mystery to uncover or some awe-inspiring structure in every room. Most of the characters aren't too memorable except the main character Jesse, but this is perhaps a side-effect of the Old House itself being the more interesting part of the game, and that's intended. Fighting the Hiss is usually pretty fun, although it often devolves into picking up the nearest concrete block/bench/whatever and hurling it toward their face with your mind powers. It's not a sophisticated means of killing a supernatural enemy, but it's satisfying nonetheless. Main story missions remain the meat & potatoes of Control, but the side missions are equally as interesting. So many games fall into the mistake of having cookie-cutter side missions with no exciting story of their own, so it's nice to see Control avoiding that error. It's always nice to have strong side content, especially in a game such as this with it's semi-open world layout. There's one big detraction I had when playing Control, and it's that the game is just too damn dark. By the time I got the platinum trophy, my eyes needed a break. I'd spent too long looking at dim corridors and rooms only lit by red lighting effects. Obviously this was probably done for atmosphere purposes, but it goes a bit overboard on it. Aside from that, Control is a game that I would gladly recommend to anyone. It's well worth your money, gives you a good amount of content to enjoy, and has few peers at its level of world-building. --- Got a brand new blues that I can't explain <cite>Solioxrz362 posted [p:948514511] in Ranking al...
