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.

I've bought this game on a whim, because it was a great deal, but I didn't know anything about it. It was sitting in my library for a while, until I've played Alan Wake. Then I've learned that this game is somehow connected to it, so I gave it a go. Wow, I was in for surprise. It's one of my favourite games now. I couldn't put it down until I've unlocked all the achievements and find all the secrets. Awesome action, great characters, crazy puzzles and beautiful graphics. Very immersive. I'm really glad I've found this. Remedy knocked it out of the park.

This game is excellent! Beautifully detailed, very interactive environments. Really interesting story with lots of pieces of lore to investigate (or optionally ignore). Quite a few references to other games from Remedy (as the CONTROL game is part of the Remedy-verse).
Absolutely love the oldest house, reminds me of some other fantasy works I've enjoyed.

Another amazing and fun game if you enjoy progression based action games.Story might feel a little twisted at first but it will get much more clear and straight as we progress. By the end of the game, you feel amazingly powerful and combat feels incredibly smooth. A very satisfying game with it's meaningful amount of hours, but not so much that you get tired of the game before it's over. overall a great game with a one of a kind story,

One of the best 2019 game I've ever played in that year. The gameplay is amazing and the story is also exceptionally great. The sound effect/music is also one of the highlights of the game.

This game is amazing. It gets you hooked up from start to finish.
I had already played it on Playstation but when I saw it was on promotion here, I had to get it. It works great on the Steam Deck, just needs to adjust resolution.

For all the hype I was disappointed in the game play but the story was great. There are great tweaks to difficulty and different settings to ease it up a bit so you can experience the story. Visuals are good.
