I really enjoyed playing this game. It gives us outstanding graphics and a wonderful dystopic atmosphere.

The story itself I think is rather confusing at first, I got a grip of it after a while. There are a lot of collectibles to gather, paperworks, all the stuff to read and to watch for some background information. However I have to admit I didn't read it all, because it would have doubled my playtime I guess.

The fighting system was a fun thing, also the variants of the weapon and the other abilities gives us flexibility. The fights were kinda easy at first, I only started to have little problems after completing the main story aswell as the DLC because enemy masses kinda messed with my overview of the battle itself with them teleporting enemies.

It took me some time to get my orientation set up because those maps of all those sectors are hella confusing and huge. The good thing is that you can unlock checkpoints for fast travel, otherwise you literally would have to run through those labyrinths.

A little disappointing were the "boss fights". There was no dramatic music, and not really a twist in any fight. It's just a hit or miss I guess.

The achievements were not a big deal, however for some of them I had to look up were to find certain files or those neko-figurines, but most of the other stuff you will end up doing alongside playing the main missions and side missions.

For me, Control was a wonderful discovery and I really enjoyed playing it without sweating, just vibing.
