Control, developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games, is a critically acclaimed third-person action-adventure that blends intense combat with psychological and supernatural storytelling. Set within the ever-changing skyscraper known as The Oldest House, the game explores a secret government agency tasked with containing paranormal phenomena.
 

Players take on the role of Jesse Faden, a woman searching for her missing brother who unexpectedly becomes the new Director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC). As Jesse gains authority, she also acquires extraordinary abilities tied to mysterious Objects of Power, allowing her to manipulate the environment in spectacular ways.
 

Combat in Control is fast, fluid and highly dynamic. Jesse can use telekinesis to hurl debris, rip chunks of concrete from walls, levitate across battlefields, create shields and seize control of enemies’ minds. These powers are seamlessly combined with the Service Weapon, a shape-shifting firearm that adapts into multiple combat forms.
 

The world design is surreal and oppressive. The Oldest House constantly shifts its architecture, revealing hidden rooms, impossible spaces and reality-bending environments. Storytelling is delivered through cryptic dialogue, documents, live-action sequences and environmental details, inviting players to piece together the narrative themselves.
 

Progression systems allow players to upgrade abilities, weapons and mods to tailor combat style. Optional side missions and hidden bosses expand the lore and challenge skilled players. Expansions like The Foundation and AWE further develop the story and connect Control to Remedy’s larger universe.
 

With its striking art direction, innovative combat mechanics and deeply unsettling atmosphere, Control stands as one of the most original and memorable action games of its generation.
