Eventually picked up a copy of Control, a five year-old game I didn’t realise I wanted to play until the release of Alan Wake 2 revealed that it was set in a shared universe. Described as “a solid comedy pastiche of the X-Files, right down to a mysterious smoking man” by Rock, Paper, Shotgun reviewer Brendan Caldwell. He calls it a “servceable shooter” and that “the story, once you scratch away the “weird” stuff, is actually fairly rote.” Actual player comments have been more positive and enjoyed the game to the point that they are joyous that a Control 2 is close to release. When it was released it was a top-tier title and cost the usual £50+. Cost me £6 for the Ultimate Edition.

All I need to do is find the time to play and fight the kids for control of the tv and Xbox.
