FIRST PLAY CONTROL PS4, Xbox One, PC

Control is full ‘new weird’. It’s a game that revels in its Lynchian roots but pushes the limits of what video-game thrillers can achieve. It’s a game that celebrates brutalist architecture in tense scenes before sending you spiralling into space/time-defying volumes as you search for supernatural entities.

It’s a bit like via , or maybe via . The studio, so this time they’re making sure the player has the world, the story, the characters and the action held out right in front of them.
