Okay, just finished Control: High Seas Edition, did not do much exploration, no side missions as I want to do that stuff in the Steam version. Did use a trainer to easier play through the story as that's what I cared about.
It was good, but it was rather a bit underwhelming, honestly, feel like I expected more of it. Can't exactly pinpoint what's the reason for it. Great level design and I really liked the weapon forms. However, despite it had great level design., much of the game had the same type of level design and colors, which made the game somewaht bland halway through. Liked the powers you can use.. The story was in the beginning somewhat confusing, but interesting yet it became rather predictable halfway through and I was dissapointed in how all the mysteries and stuff came to be in the end. I liked how they explained what happened in Alan Wake in the game, nothing on Alan though, his whereabouts remains unknown, it was primarily about what they called the events that happened in Brightfalls, not gonna spoil anything.
I give it a 8/10.
It's better than Quantum Break, but not as good as Alan Wake which is still one of my favorite games of all time.
My interest in Control mainly came from it being a story driven SP game and that it has some connections to Alan Wake. Been waiting for something regarding Alan Wake for years.
Will definetly buy on Steam when it's out. All expansions will be out by then, including the last expansion which apparently has something to do with Alan Wake.
Now that I have completed the story in Control, I can finally say that I can remain in peace with EGS exclusives, as in, Control was my most wanted EGS exclusive, many other Im interested in too, like Outer Wilds, What The Golf, Blands 3 and Satisfactory, but those are way easier to wait on to release on Steam than Control. Control was the only EGS exclusive I simply could not just forget about existing, I just kept thinking about it.
