I thought the story of Control was just ok but the gameplay was awesome.

It didnt land on my Top 25 list BUT....that one level (people who played it know exactly which I mean) was easily one of the best sequences I've ever played. I have no idea how they made it feel like you were still in control (hehe) as everything around you went crazy.

Unfortunately that level is very late in the game otherwise I'd implore you to stick it out to see it. But since you quit so early because you weren't having fun, you probably will continue to not have fun until that part.

Hey thanks, both AW1 and Control are games I might pick up again. Didn’t hate them, they just didn’t really hook me.

I probably wouldn't have kept playing it if a friend didn't buy it for me and insist so I get it!
