Short Review of Control: Completed in 27 hours, All Side Quests, DLC AWE and The Foundation
The beginning was frustrating, but the game gradually became addictive, especially from a combat perspective. Some set-pieces and segments are truly artistic (like the Ashtray Maze and Altered Item quest). The world lore is fascinating, and I appreciate the David Lynch-style dialogue and characterizations. However, the ending of the main story felt a bit underwhelming, leaving me with a sense of 'Is that it?' Instead, it was the second DLC that provided a proper ending segment.
Overall, I'd give it a 7.5/10.
