Control

March 19, 2023 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: game library project

Control is a 3D action/adventure game with some light metroidvania elements and a really cool story.

Set entirely in The oldest House, a building maintained by the Federal Bureau of Control, you play as Jesse and try to discover the nature of the presence that is taking over the building. Along the way you complete quests and uncover some really interesting lore about the objects being kept at the building.

The gameplay is good, but nothing special - many enemies are bullet-spongey and once you find a tactic that works you can stick with it for the whole game, and there's a few egregious difficulty spikes at boss fights.

The real driving force of this game is the story and optional lore you can read. If you like SCP stuff or played Alan Wake, you'll love this game. 

Verdict: Finished

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
