About Control Ultimate Edition

About this game

Developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games

The mystery is the name of the game in this third-person action shooter. Take the role of Jesse Faden, who has found herself in charge of a mysterious government organisation and tasked with fighting off the supernatural entities that have usurped the halls of their headquarters.

Battle the Unexplained

In navigating the winding halls of the Oldest House, Jesse will find herself face-to-face with all manner of mysterious foes and reality-defying creatures. Learn more about the elusive entity known only as the ‘Hiss’, as you undo the carnage it has wreaked upon the facility.

Learn New Powers

To defeat the impossible, you must become the impossible. Various skill trees and unlockable abilities allow you to tailor your playstyle to your liking. Master the power of flight and telekinetically turn any nearby item into deadly a weapon as you hurl all manner of objects at anything that stands in your way.

Includes DLC

Control Ultimate Edition also includes two pieces of DLC content; The Foundation and AWE. The Foundation has Jesse exploring a large cavernous ruin that has been found beneath the Oldest House. AWE is a crossover story between Control and Alan Wake, and includes the eponymous character himself in a gripping story spanning both of the games.

Outstanding Game
Verified purchase
I have played this Game on PS as well and wanted to replay it on PC. The Port is well put together no major issues with stuttering and frame rates stay pretty consistent thru out. I would 100% recommend this game if you are the type that enjoy a good psychological style horror.

Just great

This is an awesome game. I think I'm halfway at the moment, so I have not yet discovered everything, but the gameplay is smooth, graphics are great and the story is thrilling and well thought out. Convincing main character as well. This game is exciting and also a bit scary. Although I am not a very experienced gamer in this genre, I enjoy every second of it.

A wild ride of a game

Control is fantastic. It can feel strange at first, but once the story starts picking up, it's amazing. The atmosphere is freaky, the combat is a lot of fun. I guess you could say this game is... dynamite.

Pretty good so far. I was a bit on the fence waiting for a good sale. Just pucked it up. Graphics are great, sound design and music are pretty good too, and fitting to the setting.
