Forums - Gaming - Control: Should I keep playing it?

Dulfite on 06 February 2022

You are giving up control on if you play Control to other people?

Can someone splash cold water on my face, please?

Yeah it's definitely weaker than Alan Wake and Quantum Break - especially story-wise but the combat is decent enough.
I'd say keep playing as you can still unlock some unique powers and fight other kind of enemies. But in terms of environments you have definitely seen everything there is to see already. They could've added so many locations by including portals to other dimensions etc. but no, 90% Bureau, 9% Astral Plane and 1% that one hotel you keep visiting.

I think I`m mid game, but truly didn`t engage with it

But then the entire oppressive nature of the Bureau, how it's run, and of the Board itself would be diminished. 

I personally found all of those concepts - especially the Board itself - to be entirely half-baked, so I would take interesting environments over that in a second.

Same.

Also I don't see how a few missions about retrieving objects of power from other parts of the world or from other dimensions would have any negative impact on the back story of the Bureau or the Board.

You should play until Ashtray Maze at least. Cool song there by Poets of the Fall.. um I mean Old Gods of Asgard :P

I thought the game was alright but nowhere near as good as Quantum Break, Alan Wake and Max Payne. Story has some interesting ideas and characters, but it just doesn't hold together all that well. And I hated navigating around the Bureau.

if my memory serves me right then that's very very far into the game.

Same here, I liked what I played in the ~5 hours I have spent with it, but I never got to go back to it. It wasn't bad by any means, but never really caught me as much as other games did, and with my backlog being what it is, I doubt that I will ever go back. Maybe if I will have a really lazy sunday...

Since starting this thread, I've put in a couple more hours. I think at this point I'm invested enough, and I'm enjoying it enough, to finish it up. But, I think I'll mostly just be heading through the main story.

There's very little side content so you're not missing much. Most of the side missions take less than 10 minutes to finish as quite a few are just some boss fights.

I finished the base game, both DLCs and got all misc achievements in 20 hours.
