I really enjoyed Control when I played it in late 2020 - early 2021. I've had this on my periphery since then and I didn't really enjoy it as much.

The gameplay was passable and perhaps the main thing that kept me going as the cheesy dialogue and exposition-heavy narration kept the plot from feeling consequential.

The atmosphere is the best thing in this game and still holds up but, just as the plot was starting to grab me, the game abruptly ended. The 2 additional chapters that can be played after the ending feel cobbled together and largely inconsequential which is a shame.

All in all this isn't a bad game, but certainly Remedy have refined their craft in the years between this and 2019's Control.
