“Despite me not playing Control anywhere close to when it was released, I was still super hyped when I finally got around to playing it. The gameplay footage I had seen always looked like a lot of fun and I was really drawn to its aesthetics and David Lynch-esque story. Disappointingly, I did not really enjoy the game that much though. The story was convoluted and I wasn't a fan of the combat. Enemy variety was lacking and enemies were huge bullet sponges, which made every combat encounter drag on. I also grew tired of thespecial abilities (like picking up and throwing objects) due to the over reliance on them due to the gunplay being unsatisfying. Also, the DLC didn't add anything meaningful to the experience and I wish I would have just skipped it. I really thought I was going to love this game, so it was quite the disappointment when I didn't.”
