Control (2019 Video Game)
2/10
Cons Completely Outnumber the Pros
21 October 2019
The pros of this game are that it has good graphics, a good story and some interesting game mechanics like launch and the ever-changing gun for the director. However, the cons vastly outnumber the pros.

After even playing more of the game the absolute worse check point system of any game I have played, total dumpster fire of a system. Do you like starting check points 5 minutes away from where you died and have to fight your way back to a boss fight only to die again and do it all over again? This would also include large amount of times between check points and having to go back and keep doing over the same old garbage.

Do you like especially long game load times?

Do you like when every once in a while, you go into aim mode for your gun and the graphics basically block your entire view of the enemy you are shooting at?

Do you like long, long, long gun reload times? The worst reload mechanic of any game I have ever played. It is the same gun that morphs into different models but switching (Grip, Charge, Pierce etc..) to other models does not mean you have a full magazine you only have one reload for all guns.

Do you like whenever you empty your gun or use up all your energy the reload times basically double so you are left defenseless?

Do you like getting a very limited amount of resources to buy upgrades and find out that the last gun you can purchase in the game should have been essentially labelled GARBAGE( it is called Charge don't bother with it), and you find out to late that it was just a waste of resources?

Do you like a poor mapping mechanic and getting lost and a lot of needless running around?

Do you like when you are low health and near death to have the screen turn almost completely red and not be able to see your enemies?

Do you like saving up to increase your health only to find out that it doesn't matter because the enemies still one or two hit kill you anyways? (This is probably the most annoying feature of the game).

Do you like walking a few feet out of a room you just cleared only to find everything has respawned? Learn to dash by these idiot enemies.

Do you like being behind full cover only to be one shoted by an enemy you can't see?

If you answered yes to all or some of the previous questions than this is the game for you.

This game becomes very frustrating and if I knew now before I started the game, I would have never bothered to play it. By the end of this game which I finished, I absolutely hated it (Deleted the game right after finishing it). The finale is just wave after wave of guys with only one check point at the beginning of the level that I had to repeat a number of times (that happens a number of times throughout the game). Will not play another game developed by Remedy again.
