  My thoughts on Control are entirely summed up by the limerick at the end of Yahtzee’s review:

  Control is intriguing enough,
  With its mysterious, inscrutable stuff,
  But the combat is cloying,
  And about as annoying,
  As a limerick that doesn’t end properly.

    I love the combat. It reminds me of Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, which I had a blast playing back in the day.

  A while ago the developers have added an accessibility option called “Assist mode”, which let’s you tweak some combat related options like increased damage output and health. You can configure it to essentially achieve god-mode.

  I struggled a lot on my first playthrough. I think at some point i Outclassed the games difficulty though by messing around with side stuff as the second half of the story was a pretty easy cake walk

  Get good newb.

  I’m joking, please don’t be upset.

  I haven’t finished the game yet. I need to get back to it. Mental health has been a bitch the last few years and that was probably when it was at it’s worst. I need to restart it at this point. It’s an amazing game.

    I wish.

    I come from the time when we loaded the games from audio tapes, each game taking 5 minutes to load. We had to get good, there was no internet to guide us.

    Games were intentionally hard, so you could get value out of those 48KB.

    Nowadays there is no reason to hold back older/disadvantaged players, it’s just wrong. Let us adjust the difficulty and enjoy the story.

  If you’re talking about who I think. Yeah, that dude killed me a lot. And was just annoying.

  The best (though slightly tedious) strategy I have is to go up to the balcony and stand with a pillar in between you and him. His attacks won’t break the pillar and you can then time it right to leave cover and shoot him several times before going back to hiding.

  Also going to a place with lots of enemies to level up/craft mods is helpful, and do the janitor’s quests and explore as much as possible to gain more abilities / find more crafting materials.

  Fighting is a lot easier when you can basically throw the entire room at an enemy over and over again.
