In Game Rant’s Control review, we called it “quite possibly Remedy’s best game yet” and gave it four and a half stars out of five. Other reviews from around the web are heaping on the praise too with some minor reservations.

Sounds like Control is exactly what Remedy fans wanted from a new title. With a reasonably short run time and plenty of side content and collectibles to acquire, the game offers a focused experience rich with action and character.
Control launches August 27 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
