Yeah, I’m with you on this, and wish I had done so in hindsight. The gameplay was interesting for about a couple of hours, but ultimately I think the game’s more about the graphics in the quieter moments–although as a raytracing showcase, it’s less impressive now than it was in 2019–and the wacky stuff it comes up with than anything.
Comment on Super late to the party but Control is really good…

I loved it, it’s a pretty unique experience. But to be totally honest, I hated it until I messed with the assist mode settings. So my personal tip, which is definitely not for everyone, is to completely customize those settings as much as you want. Some of the default combat and QOL features are way off in my opinion, and once I got over the shame of changing some fundamental settings, the game opened way up for me and I was able to get completely into the story.
The devs added the settings a year or two after the game’s release, so they must have been getting a lot of feedback.
Enjoy! You’re in for a wild ride.

What did you change? I played with mouse+kb and found it to be pretty easy tbh. Only some occasional Board Countermeasures seemed to be a bit unbalanced at the beginning.

Reload times, damage multipliers, you name it. I played it years ago so I don’t remember the exact specifics, but I came up with a sweet spot that worked for how I wanted to play.

That’s what’s so nice about these settings. You can gradually ease up the stuff you’re having trouble with, without cheesing it up all the way.
