Control, a standout title from 2019, has garnered significant acclaim, sharing the spotlight with other notable releases such as Disco Elysium, Untitled Goose Game, and Sekiro. It earned our prestigious “Best Setting” award, a testament to its unique presentation that transcends the typical third-person shooter experience. This is a Remedy game, after all, known for its distinctive storytelling and immersive environments.
While the combat mechanics may blend into a blur of dashing maneuvers and levitating attacks—often involving an array of office furniture—the true allure lies in the game’s atmospheric setting. Control unfolds within the stark, pebblecrete corridors of The Oldest House, a brutalist tower that serves as both a backdrop and a character in its own right. The narrative and environment draw parallels to the fictional SCP Foundation, a realm of hyper-conspiratorial, crowdsourced weird fiction that has inspired various creative endeavors, including Lethal Company.
