I definitely enjoyed Control. It’s worth grabbing on sale.
I had picked it up on sale for $10, left it in my backlog until 2024 when I was looking for a little palate cleanser. I was expecting a quick little shooter, maybe 10-20 hours, something to occupy a couple of weekends. I ended up spending 100 hours to get it 100% complete, watching lore videos with my wife, and now we are going back and playing Alan Wake.
Still have no interest in a multiplayer live-service game though. These companies all convince themselves that THEY will be the next “big thing” and it usually fails.
You’ll have a ball with Alan Wake, especially the second one which has turned out to be one of my all time favorite games. I love what Remedy are cooking (at least on their single player games). I feel like we all knew Firebreak was going to be bad and collectively just wished Remedy focused on Control 2 and Alan Wake 3 instead.
