As an eerie, weird, and unique third-person shooter that will always keep you on your toes, Control knows all the right buttons to press. It is a tapestry made up of one part mystery, one part thriller, and another part horror, and there's a thread to pull at every turn. While some elements of the game become tiresome near the conclusion, the breadcrumbs kept me on the trail until the end.
Pros
Cool powers and interesting guns make combat initially engaging
Superb acting and presentation
Interesting cast of characters
Story and side quests are all high quality, and can be very creepy
