I loved the aesthetic and tone of Control. Such a unique idea for a game. For a person who has been playing games for as long as I have, it's rare that I see something genuinely new in a video game. This game had that for me. The combat might not be the best, but it is more than serviceable and feels punchy and impactful. You simply can't put a price on how good it feels to yeet an office printer at an enemies face in this game. But where this game truly shines is that it is steeped in spookiness and mystery. I'm finding it difficult to find the correct words to explain the genre/tone of the game and I think this is precisely what makes it special. If you are a long time gamer who is tired of the risk averse nature of the modern game industry and enjoyed shows like the X-files, Twilight Zone, or Twin Peaks, give this game a shot, you will be happy.
