This is one of the most unique, creepy and fascinating stories I've ever experienced in a game... I've watched and read every single collective I've picked up, which is something I never do with other games. Something about the story has me hooked and I'm loving it...
about hidden areas, look at one of the wall paintings: the broken looking painting, you can actually shoot it, keep shooting at the wall, behind it there are items/chests you can get. Figured it out myself while playing. Very nice game 👍🏻
I too found this by accident. I was going through the game and made a point of using melee to smash every painting I saw. I was just doing it for fun. Anyway, I hit the picture of a hole in a broken wall and the wall behind it crumbled, so i thought "Hang on, that looks like a room behind there" so kept on hitting it unti I could get through. Found two boxes with prime mods in them! I've now found 3 paintings like this all with breakable walls and secret rooms behind them. Keeping my eyes open for more.
This game has really shaped up to be something unique and special. Not too heavy handed on the obscurity or "look how random this is" stuff, which is good. It handles the story seriously enough, with a few doses of humor (some of Dr. Darling's videos are golden) sprinkled in. One of the best original concepts for a game I've seen in a long time!
I love this new platinum trophy aspect you guys have added to PS Access. It's showing a deeper appreciation, and attention to the games you play, rather than a cursory play and present style. Obviously we all know you guys have gone very deep into games, but it was less varied than it is becoming with this new plat hunt mode - keep up the great work!
I never really got into it at the start, then the buildings start getting different, visuals get elaborate, the powers and the ASHTRAY MAZE level, this is really a hidden gem
@gothael1 Tl;dr tbh, I played Control yesterday and I have to agree on this very hard 😂 Yesterday found a room I haven‘t visited yet. There was a milling machine/big printer sort of thing. Damn. The chills of the memories of SCP-914 kicked me hard 🤣
Just Platinum'ed the game...without knowing you could stack items with the square button, smh. I learned though that you can use (very quickly) the hiss-floating bodies as a plataform to gain more altitude when levitating.
I cant wait to start flying however I'm enjoying the whole Telekinesis power. As of right now I've barely made it to the nuclear plant check point. My guess is that I might be still in the beginning. Oh and by the way the Mail room with the first boss was extremely hard for me however I did manage to pass that part. This game is awesome. I still can't believe I only have a level 2 Clearance. I've seen a lot of doors with level 4 as well as level 5. I can't wait to see what's behind those doors.
Even with all the performance issues (which was a constant throughout my playtime with the game), I highly enjoyed it. I admired the ambition and scope of the game but it's pretty hard to navigate the oldest house when your map outright doesn't work or when the amount of things flying around the screen is just too much for the base PS4.
I just got it for PS5 and it runs really well on there. Sometimes the fast travel is even instantaneous, if you’re staying in the same sector. I’ve hit X to accept the fast travel destination, and I end up levitating in the new area, because it loads that quickly.
Forgot to mention the amount of reading you'll need to do to completely appreciate the game's world and lore. I personally love this game but definitely not for everyone.
Oooh! That stacking one is awesome and was something I was trying to figure out naturally but I guess I gave up too quickly and thought the game didn't want me to stack stuff/the physics wouldn't work. Awesome video! Love this channel. Wish it would pop up much more often over some of my "other" subs.
For people who are interested in the environments, I highly recommend watching the Control playthroughs of Secret Sleepover Society. Julia is an artist, and it's really cool to hear her talk about the architecture and why it works so well in this game.
Alsop's Gaming - It never crashed for me on the Pro, but it runs poorly when there’s a lot goin’ on on the base PS4. It becomes annoying to play before I go to sleep.
I was enjoying the game but it’s not very helpful to the player in how to use the ability/weapon mods and also actually finding where you’re supposed to go.
I played this for 15mins once and thought it was good , but was playing other games. I then thought to download it again and try and wow. I'm hooked now . Halfway through
I enjoyed Control. A couple of monsters beat the poo out of me (the pit. Bro. I think the game just gave me that kill after 10 tries). I thought the game was way more complex than it actually was. There're like three or four things the game wants you to figure out on your own. Then the rest is just world-building. I was scrutinizing the case files, audio recordings, etc when I didn't need to. I wish I knew the ability where you drop and do impact damage didn't require the drop to be vertical.
Thanks for the tip about placing launch items down gently! That's something I wanted to do at a couple of places but didn't know could be done. Will definitely try it during my next gaming session.
Good game but highly flawed and frustrating. Some things that would make it better (patch?): add easy difficulty level, more checkpoints, tell gamer difficulty level of missions (easy/med/hard), more hints during load screens. For instance, it took a while to figure out that you can only assign 3 board countermeasures at once. Control is not for everyone, most appealing to people who want to figure everything out without much help. It is also filled with writing and vocabulary words that are quite difficult to understand. Which is why I found reading the in-game collectibles to be more confusing than not doing so. Anyway, this is the best tips video I have seen, thanks for doing it!
I wish I'd known the arcade outfit prize is ultra bugged. Foundation added the outfit in my inventory. You have ASSIST mode in options. The possessed vending machines are bugged. Never found one.
I just found out you can have more than one board countermeasure active at one time. That sure wouldn’t have helped and saved some time, had I known that earlier. I’m just a few chapters in, but I’ve really been enjoying this uniquely creepy game.
Thanks for the 11th tip. I was trying to stack up boxes to reach the higher level in order to reach black stone quarry mission but all in vain. I don’t have levity power yet
I loved the premise and concept behind it, I just wished they spent more time on each AI and OoP. Some of them just felt like power ups for easier gameplay (reading the collectibles get tedious after a while). Think about the SCP foundation wiki, those short stories just add so much more to the creatures/items they classify and capture. At the end of the day, it felt like a summarised item-only SCP walkthrough, but a beautiful and fun game on it’s own. Edit: PLEASE TELL ME THERE ARE DLCs COMING
Some good stuff, if only I'd seen this earlier. I nearly gave up on Control today. I always buff health in every game early on, nothing else matters if you're dead. Great game for weirdness but it seems to have trouble deciding what it wants to be. The puzzles are often frustrating to the point of un-enjoyable, but loving the mixed supernatural and gun play combat.
@@unap16 If they manage to stabilise the FR on current gen consoles & hit a steady 30 fps - it might be worth a look, but I don't know ... I can't say the core game has much substance, having played about 4-5 hours (on PC).
@@JB.zero.zero.1 All we can do is just hope and wait to see how this pans out. In the past, The Witcher 3 had severe performance issues in certain areas that were sorted over multiple years and patches. So it is not out of the realm of possibility and is rather dependent on time and resources, esp. with the next gen on the horizon. At absolute worst, given BC will be a feature for both next gen consoles, one can play CONTROL on PS5/XB2 at locked 30fps.
This might sound nuts, but I didn't know about the drop button, and actually stacked boxes with the launch ability. I'm a legend, don't care what anyone says...
Loved this so much i plat'ed it within a week, hope to replay it when the PS5 drops (assuming there's backwards compatibility) Great vids team, keep it up!
To me, the game was unplayable on the PS4. On the PS5, however, it runs like a charm, and it’s truly one of the best exclusives-if you like these sorts of games.
@@Justmeandmy20cents I already have a PS4 Pro, and according to Digital Foundary performance on the Pro can still be pretty bad. I'm just going to wait for a patch.
i didn't like the look of the game when i first saw it but now i'm actually starting to like the look of this after seeing more gameplay but because of the comments saying about performance issues i'll probably wait and get Catherine Full Body for now (are these frame rate problems on the PS4 Pro too?)
YoungBlaze time your flight so that you jump towards where it’s firing, as it fires. Launch as fast as possible to get an attack in. (If it’s the fight I’m thinking of)

Juss getting into it and you must now play Alan Wake. Then u can really appreciate the game. So many things that blends together with the 2 games
@@dmo848 yep. Alan Wake was very cool
It's the collective consciousness craving for more.. deep down we know something like this exists
@@dmo848 there is a direct reference to Mr. Wake in the game as a document collectable. It's for an altered object that looks like a coffee mug.
This is like someone took the SCP Foundation and made it into an actually pretty game with good graphics.
SCP Unity?
My exact sentiments
The creater says he was inspired by SCP
@@stnorocwzo the SCP wiki
@@Kevin-fj5oe Oh my, my my. Apologies for the idiocy of me from three months ago.
I’m loving control! Environments are incredibly unique, and oddly creepy.
Best destruction I’ve seen in gaming in a while.

totally i loved the ability to control objects around and throw them anywhere

The game is like silent hill, resident evil and men in black had an orgy, and this is the spawn! Great game
You're forgetting Twin Peaks and X-Files :)
Add some SCP and I agree with everything else
🤩

One of the best games in this generation, I love it so much.
I’ve beaten the game. I’m just working on DLC and getting outfits and maxing out Jesse’s Level and beating extra bosses right now.

@@KingUniverso 🤗
That it doesn't run that well on the standard ps4?
FLESHPWND or Pro tbh. Crashed on me constantly and could never hold a steady frame rate.
i played it on ps4 Slam when to much was going on the game had problems at first
Never crashed for me, was lagging after pauses though. Other than that a top notch game tbh
Alsop's Gaming - It never crashed for me on the Pro, but it runs poorly when there’s a lot goin’ on on the base PS4. It becomes annoying to play before I go to sleep.
I did played it and yes the framerate can be problem but I haven’t Crash one.
I was enjoying the game but it’s not very helpful to the player in how to use the ability/weapon mods and also actually finding where you’re supposed to go.
facts
That’s the point of the game
I have easier times navigating using in-game sign scattered across the map, those sign aren't just for shows
@@Kevin-fj5oe True. Sometimes following the sign is just easier.
I played this for 15mins once and thought it was good , but was playing other games. I then thought to download it again and try and wow. I'm hooked now . Halfway through
That stacking one would have indeed been good to know during my first play through :P cheers for that
I love the lore in this game! Northmore and the ncs. Most of all former!
Absolutely unique game and it's definitely in my top 3 of all time. Can't wait for the AWE DLC.
Amazing game, when I came across the Floppy Disk Miniboss throwing things at me I thought 'yup this is a unique shooter' 🎂
Platinum done dlc included and yet I want to go all over it again... feel like I didn't had enough... can't wait for a sequel
One of the best games I've played, simple but complex, beautiful deep n super enjoyable
This game is creepy asf not something I would play but the gameplay, powers and overall feel of the game is incredible I like it a lot
not creepy at all. if you call this creepy you haven't played creepy at all
That first tip is so important. It would’ve saved me so much time wondering around.
Control is amazing, I got the platinum trophy even (only my 4th)
Tbh it’s one of the easiest platinums you can possibly get
@@DiegoStClair-wz5xj not even one of the hundred easiest lol
I finally got around to the game. Bloody brilliant!
I enjoyed Control. A couple of monsters beat the poo out of me (the pit. Bro. I think the game just gave me that kill after 10 tries). I thought the game was way more complex than it actually was.

Best story narration in a game, loved it
I love this game and even platinumed it a few days after launch, but MAN the frame rate is horrendous.
I don't know about consoles, but if you want to run it well with any settings high, you gotta have a pretty beefy pc.
You can improve it with the newest update
If you have a PS5 then Control Ultimate Edition is free this month. It provides a locked 60fps that’s a so much nicer than it was in PS4/PS4 Pro.
Thanks for the tip about placing launch items down gently! That's something I wanted to do at a couple of places but didn't know could be done. Will definitely try it during my next gaming session.
Can it be done on a pc though without a game controller?

It's kinda wild they consider the merry-go-round horse (evade ability) to be in a "Secret Area" 😂
It is quite a bit of shame that game with a colour palette such this does not feature HDR.
One can only hope that Remedy puts out a patch for that someday soon.
On PC however there is ray tracing support that makes the game look even better. Not sure if HDR is an option as my monitor doesn't support it.

i just started playing and im so glad yt recomended this video :D thnx so much :)
Epic games?
this game is incredible
This game is HARD. I wish I would have known that before I bought. I like games to be fun not stressful and defeating.
Control is amazing. Real modern classic. Just got better as I played it.

the only time where I found the puzzles frustrating was in the AWE dlc.
everything else was pretty easy
Better to go in this game completly blind and have a litte patience at the beginning

Base PS4*. With that said, I wish I knew that too. I have a Pro in the living room and a base in the bedroom. Control runs POORLY on the base model.
I don't have that problem but this is a year later I'm assuming the game's been optimized since then
@@blacksheepnomad9000 yeah it’s been optimised now. I’m playing it on a PS5 at the moment and it’s perfect
After this guide I am more in control. Thank you !
This game sounds like real life
Wth seriously square to drop items. I seriously just crash things thinking theres no hope of stacking things up. They should have that in a tutorial.
Love the video! I am halfway through the game and still learned a couple of useful pieces of info, so thanks!!
I’ve never seen X Files. But I’ve seen a lot about SCP. So this game reminds me of that a lot
This is a great video. Some really good info in here and I love addition of the Plat tips
Beat it on my PS4 Pro. Just got Ultimate Edition for PS5. Can’t wait to play it again!
The only one I didn't knew about was the last one. :3
This might sound nuts, but I didn't know about the drop button, and actually stacked boxes with the launch ability. I'm a legend, don't care what anyone says...
I know one thing i wish I knew before buying it day one and the DLCs..... That they would realese one ultimate version...
This was massively helpful, thanks!
I kept forgetting about pressing the Square will Gently lay things down lol.
Love this game so much. Its amazing SCP'esc, creepy and super interesting.
Should we expect this for a Platinumonday? Or are they going to be saved for streams that will take a while?
On ps4 pro its magnificent!
I already got the platinum.

Good info Nathan, great video!
Wow actually very helpful thank you 👍🏻
Just finished the game really awesome visualization and creative ideas.
Is there any way to gracefully release stuff in the PC version with a keyboard and mouse? I would love to stack more than smash.
It didn’t even make the top 20 downloads list in the 🇺🇸 😡
i just wish i knew it was horror game then i wouldn't haven''t played it :D i love all the abilities and power and eviornement tho it's amazing
