First play-through of CONTROL. Got it for $4 on PSN on Supa-Sale.
It was also on sale on PC, I’ve been getting lost in it. It’s amazing. It makes me wonder if I should be playing Alan Wake as well. I once got Alan Wake II with my GPU but I sold it

Alan Wake 2 is the direct sequel to both Alan Wake and Control so you should definitely get it if you liked Control. There is also a Control-centric expansion for AW2 just as there was an Alan Wake expansion for Control.
I haven’t played those. I think I’ll give it a go when I finish this
Yeah, Control rules! I thought the enemy variety was a bit lacking, but other than that, it was a blast.
The controls are fantastic & it gives me nostalgic feelings for when I played second sight on GameCube.
It keeps getting better too as you gain more powers.
This game bugged me, it totally missed the SCP vibe for me and it put me off. I also found the combat pretty boring.
I always liked the way that SCP is about a bureaucratic organisation trying to control and contain these supernatural entities. In Control they live inside an entity and literally let one control the organisation. That just seems so anti-SCP to me.
What is scp?
It’s a communal project in which people make up lovecraftian monsters and share them to a wiki, basically. There’s an expansive system of lore to it, including an MIB-esque organization that is collecting and, when possible, innoculating them, as well as all these different methods and procedures for interacting with them and categorizing them and junk.
Lots of strange and creative ideas scattered throughout. I liked it when it was just starting off, but haven’t kept up, so I can’t speak for the modern quality overall, but Im sure they’ve still got some bangers here and there

A long time back I got this game for free from the epic game store, it totally blew my mind. The world this game exists in is so well developed, I think the setting is my favorite character. I loved the panopticon, I loved offices covered in insane sticky notes, I of course loved the ashtray maze, oh my God that was freaking awesome.
This game is something special.
