Control is one of those games that makes everything else feel slightly inferior. Remedy has perfectly captured the eerie bureaucratic vibe. After experiencing Control in 2019, I’ve often wished that every game would give players the chance to interact with the bizarre and the inexplicable. I now find myself wanting to believe that a seemingly ordinary mailbox could jeopardize an entire town. Each collectible text document that doesn’t include unsettling blacked-out sections feels like a missed chance.

My time spent in the Oldest House has left me with a lingering yet incurable fascination. And with the current Steam Autumn Sale, you can contract this fascination for only $4. Control has only been discounted by 90% once before during a previous limited sale. This represents the lowest price it has ever reached on Steam.

Is shooting in Control subpar? You can safely ignore such critics. The essence of Control isn’t centered around shooting; it revolves around utilizing telekinesis, such as throwing forklifts with your mind. This game is an entry point into the expanding Remedy Cinematic Universe, so consider purchasing it on Steam, eliminating the hassle of launching the Epic Games platform.
