Control starts strong, but I got about two thirds of the way through and still felt like I hadn’t progressed the story in any meaningful way, at which point the stylised visuals and combat just wasn’t enough to keep me engaged.
I dunno. Maybe I gave up right before things were due to start picking up, but for all the hours I’d sunk into it, I didn’t feel like much more than a glorified maintenance woman, with most quests consisting of “go there, flip a switch, come back”
Still, at this price, it’s easily worth a punt for anyone with interest.
I had a similar experience. Bought it because I wanted to play an SCP game, and it didn’t disappoint - the beginning is super fun. But there’s no meaningful progression, your toolbox of options for how to approach combat encounters stops getting bigger very early in the game, and it quickly becomes a repetitive series of the same encounters in the same maps.

Also it’s 100% “SCP: the game” 😅
