Control

I’m guessing that I’m about halfway through through the game. I have to say that so far I really like it. Anxious to see where Alan Wake comes into play. I don’t really see the wokeness yet but I know that things can change.

The only character I don’t really like is Marshall as her character comes across as rude and condescending. Unless there’s something changes, I will eventually buy the game I’m sure. PS Now has made it clear that the game will not be around for much longer.

I finished the game this morning and I promptly told my wife that if she needed some ideas for gifts, Control is at the top of the list.

The game is made by Remedy (the studio behind Max Payne, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break).

The protagonist is looking for her brother who was taken by a shadowy government organization the Federal Bureau of Control. You enter the headquarters building just the building goes into lockdown due to a hostile force.

The game has the atmosphere of the X-Files, the the third person shooter gameplay Of Uncharted with Force powers mixed in.

If the game was made by someone other than Remedy, I probably never would have looked at it but it’s a spectacular game. Looking at the game overall I wouldn’t really consider it woke and politically neutral which is also a perk to the game.
