    The Lost Room

    If you loved The Lost Room mini series, you'll love this game. Mystical, creepy and suspenseful with plenty of action.

    A really well-made game

    The game has a great creepy atmosphere. but what i like most in this game is the detailed mess you can cause with your superpowers by flipping officetabels. I don't know any other game which is soo detailed.

    Solid Surreal Shooter.

    Control is another good hit for PlayStation. It provides lots of opportunities for exploration and has a nice volume of side missions in addition to the 15+ hour story. It has just enough gun varients and abilities to keep combat fresh, but I wouldn't say the game is highly replayable. I also think it would have been good to explore the levetation ability sooner than the final act. The story starts out and continues to be very cryptic for the majority of the game, however one can gather more information by gather notes and scattered everywhere. My 2 complaints with Control are firstly, that the story can be too confusing sometimes, as this fictional "Federal Buerau of Control" building is lacking context it it's world. It uses visual storytelling much more than dialogue and it sometimes suffers by not being specific enough with things. That said I do enjoy it's surrealist style overall. Second is it's very frustrating navigation thanks to a cruddy slapped on map and lack any precice waypoint system. In a building where many areas look similar it is easy to get lost and acctualy led me to a couple angry google searches. Such a silly oversight. No other problems with is this game though. The fact that I can say even this game is better than almost every Xbox exclusive is kinda sad....

    One of my favourite games in recent memory!

    Absolutely loved every second of this. Perfect balance of gameplay and storyline only complain is that even after the 2 very good dlc I was left wanting more!

    Beautifully Spooky in all the right ways

    Ever since this game was announced over a year ago I've been waiting to get my hands on it, and it did not disappoint. Impossible architecture combines with mind bending physics and amazing powers as you traverse The Oldest House, a mysterious building that you won't find unless it wants to be found. This game delivers on every front, Remedy has done it once again.

    • Quotes

      Zachariah Trench: Something's coming, the whispers growing louder: the worst winter storm in Bureau history. A retribution for my sins, our sins. This threat could destroy the Bureau, everything I've built. Destroy me. A web's spun, turning this place against me. I catch glimpses of it in the corner of my eye. It's just out of reach, elusive. It's clever. A perverse game of hide and seek. Is this part of an attack, obfuscating the facts, dimming my eyes? It's hard to tell. I need answers. I haven't heard back from Darling. I fear for my friend, my closes ally. I think we made a terrible mistake all those years ago. That thing he studies is putting us all in danger. It's my duty as Director to keep the Bureau safe. It'll be difficult. What's done can't be undone. There's no easy fix. Magical thinking is a requirement for survival. Pain and suffering are mandatory. To change things you have to break yourself. I don't know if I have the strength. I'm old and weak. I'm afraid. I can see my hands trembling. I'm losing control.
