This week Epic Games Store is giving away an action adventure game called “Control”.
It is an action game that blends supernatural phenomena, psychological intrigue, and intense combat into a highly immersive experience. Set in a mysterious and ever-shifting building called the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), the game presents a unique narrative and gameplay that has captivated players worldwide.
Backstory and Setting
The story begins with Jesse Faden, a woman searching for her missing brother, Dylan, who was taken by the FBC after a supernatural event in their childhood. Jesse’s journey leads her to the FBC’s headquarters, known as the Oldest House, a brutalist skyscraper that defies the laws of physics.
Shortly after her arrival, Jesse is unexpectedly chosen as the Bureau’s new Director, wielding a powerful weapon called the Service Weapon. The Oldest House is under siege by a hostile force known as the Hiss, a mysterious entity that corrupts reality and controls the minds of the Bureau’s staff. As Jesse delves deeper into the Bureau’s secrets, she uncovers hidden truths about her past and the paranormal forces threatening reality.
Control combines third-person shooting with supernatural abilities, creating a dynamic and engaging combat system. Jesse’s arsenal includes the shape-shifting Service Weapon, which can morph into different forms, and an array of telekinetic powers such as levitation, launching objects, and creating shields from debris. The interplay between gunplay and abilities keeps combat fresh and exhilarating.
The game also incorporates metroidvania elements, encouraging players to explore the Oldest House to uncover secrets, upgrades, and side missions. The environment itself is a character, constantly shifting and revealing new pathways, adding to the sense of wonder and unpredictability.
Though not a traditional open-world game, Control offers a semi-open structure within the Oldest House. Players are free to backtrack to previously explored areas using newly acquired powers to access hidden rooms and story fragments.
With its surreal narrative, gripping gameplay, and unique setting, Control stands as a modern classic in the action-adventure genre. It invites players to step into the unknown and become immersed in a world where reality is as fluid as their imagination.
