Knowing Max0r's editing style, sometimes I don't know what's the actual game and what's his doing. I'm half-certain that's the main reason he chose to review this game.
To be honest I’ve had thoughts about a Hack N’ Slash SCP Game, the player character roster would include SCP-076-2, 049, 035, Dr. Clef, Dr. Whatever-The-Fuck-We-Call-Him-Now, and other scps and researchers.
Max0r had to add in "this is a real scene in the game" because the game is just as incomprehensible as this video so it's impossible to tell what is edited and real otherwise Edit: 9:27 for the amazing Dr Dynamite

5:38 On my first playthrough I used the gun to fight nearly every single boss in the game because I didn't know using your powers was the effective way of taking them down. This was not fun.
I’m just going to say if you were a gigachad and got lucky, stacking damage and airborne ammo efficiency on a fully upgraded charge/big boom gun/funny loud and cosplaying as an AC130 was actually pretty effective and fun. That being said, I still completely agree that launch is the best and the main thing to use, I just happened to gravitate towards the 2nd most applicable option.
"control is a paranormal walking simulator that occasionally forces you to realize why stoning is still the world's most popular form of execution." Max convinced me to play ashtray maze and i got a damage mod for my pierce gun three missions before I even unlocked the damn thing. 10/10 would listen to "control" for 10 hours straight again
The gun really needs those mods but it's so random... like there are extra projectiles mods for the shotgun mode and was very lucky to find 2 good ones early and the shotgun became a fuckyou machine deleting shit up close and it led to some interesting gameplay, using the mobility to get up close and dodge attacks - but I only experienced that because I got lucky
To be honest, I did got a lot of damage mods, for many of my weapons, so I'm not sure if I was lucky or if Max had the worst luck ever, but while going monke with the stones was still the strongest strategy, I could mix it perfectly with gun play and be effective (in fact, it was more effective because I could keep the damage until I went monke again with the rocks)
I love how even the games recognizes how kickass the ashtray maze is because you can replay it using the same machine that lets you replay boss fights.

Having played through the entirety of Control actively looking to complete every single side quest and activity, along with listening to every tape and piece of lore I found, I'd say that I got a fair amount of enjoyment out of it. Jessie was a great protagonist, voiced extremely well and actually had an interesting thing or 2 to say from time to time.

Much like this video, I enjoyed the FUCK out of this game. The story manages to perfectly reveal just enough to further your understanding while also maintaining an alluring, sp00ky mystery about everything. I want another.
I'm not very good with horror in general and there were times I almost gave up cause it's spooky as hell but the game kept reeling me in with the surprises
I went out looking for every document and thoroughly read every a.w.e note and altered object description and I have to say the lore surrounding this game is pretty extensive and heavily into the world of Alan wake (you find a few documents referencing him even before the dlc) it's a shame a lot of it is on the reading side but the world is incredibly interesting
I'm used to watch youtube videos at 1.5x because my manic brain needs to be stimulated every 1.2 seconds or i get absolutely bored and i enter a coma, like a newborn brainlet baby. However, I swear you're the only person on this platform with an editing so fast-paced, so insane, so intense and filled with memes and references i have to watch at half speed to comprehend only half of it. I can't keep up when you edit like a maniac overdosed in 34 illegal substances all at once.

I’m 99% sure he’s on five different versions of a crack concentrate, black tar heroin mix Seriously, his editing makes any pizza for a brain incinerate.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen him upload anything, but Ranton might be up your alley. The style of his videogame reviews is very similar to Maxor’s.
I never ones got bored of Control, this is one of those games that I will be thinking about for year. Its also one of the first games to get me to look for every collectable and lore item, the redacted documents you find are a joy to read and just add so much to the games setting. The Ashtray maze is hands down one of the best missions ever put into a video game, I could play through it a hundred times and not get bored of it.
I played this a few years ago, and yes, the Ashtray Maze is fucking beautiful, especially first playthrough. As soon it was said that some games have a peak that stays with you forever I got goosebumps just remembering the Maze.
I only wish I had a fifth of a percent of Max's crack goblin energy. His editing will have to suffice for now as it simultaneously gives me immense joy and a crippling seizure compilation.
A little late to the party, but there is one saving grace in the DLC that I love... and that is the freaking movie camera fight. Fighting on moving platforms, dodging obstacles, and vibing with the music makes it so good I would play it just for that boss fight again.
It's how I beat Salvador. Just camp behind one of the pillars near the TV while occassionally pot-shooting some Hiss grunts to seizable health and then throw things at the main guy to take down his shield and his health.
How this game remained so low key and never caught on is a tragedy, you’d think with how big the SCP thing got they’d be interested in a game based in the “NOT-SCP” foundation and this unique and interesting story.. also the key to being op in late game is stacking the damage and fire rate mods as much as possible.. nothing else maters.
I never knew until this review that Control was SCP-related, and I surely am not alone. From what I had seen of gameplay, it looked extremely mundane in setting, mechanics, and story. I never was interested in playing Alan Wake and Quantum Break either, despite very well knowing of their existence. Seeing now that the story is probably more interesting than I thought is a welcome development. But even then Remedys games are unappealing to me. I think Remedy needs to get out of their comfort zone with their next game, if they want to attract new customers that haven't played their prior titles.
This game was a pain to run on xbone and PS4 cuz of all the spectacle. It was really huge on PC because it was one of the first games that debuted RTX and DLSS technology
Going from Bricky’s hour long essay about CONTROL, it’s story, combat, strengths, weaknesses, and feel and then watching this again is a real experience Especially since the both are so similar in their conclusions.
4:40 If you hold the button, the item you are going to throw flies next to you and hovers waiting for you to throw it, but you can also just tap the telekinesis button and launch stuff at an enemy instantly, the flying telekinesis enemies can't dodge those quick launches.
Most of the criticism of the guns is fair, but if you manage to lean into it hard enough and specialize it definitely can keep up. When I absolutely loaded up the spin mode to do extra damage on crits, and refund bullets on crits it turned into a boss mulching buzz saw. Plus with enough shield/dash recharge and enough shotgun you can solve any problem.
I was laughing so hard after the first 4 minutes my eyes and throat hurt. But Max isn’t wrong. Rocks are, besides the Pierce gun, the only good damage dealing option you’ve got. Pierce outscales literally everything with headshots, ADS damage boosts and charge shots, but you’ve got two shots before you have to wait for more ammo. In the meanwhile, just throw rocks bro- after finishing the Foundation DLC (which needs another expansion) I got a mod that makes it so the Pierce doesn’t need to charge…at all. And my fucking RPG Pistol is 1000% faster with over 3 times the AOE. If you do side quests and get the mods (which the game shits out at you to the point you will usually have a LOT of great ones so long as you actually kill things and do side missions) you can basically kill everything with Charge and Pierce with zero issues. *Everything.* First boss? Dead. Horde of Area Bosses? Fuck em’. The final Boss? Crickety crack, there goes his back
I don't know about rocks and pierce being the only good damage source. I found that, at least while i was playing the game, playing the melee and shotgun would also usually still one or two tap enemies
@@thesnek5311if you can consistently land headshots or even enough body shots the regular pistol can be good, I never hit a strong damage fall-off with it
Glad to see I was not the only one who felt like Pierce wasn't the weapon that "hit like a truck", but rather the one that hit like the ENTIRE FACTORY OF TRUCKS.
The thing I love about "Take Control" in the ashtray maze is that it actually explains major plot points of the game before they even happen. These lines show the death of Polaris' body, and Jesse being taken over by the Hiss as a result: Oh, can’t you see, see the light is fading? And in the night the demons rage and call your name No deeper madness than your own making Visions lashing blades of shame, but will you take the blame? And these lines explain that Polaris has become a part of Jesse and can live on even without the main body: A rising sense of awe and wonder A might I see has always been deep within me I can feel my inborn power I call the shots when it’s all finally clear to see The same thing can be said about "The Poet and the Muse" and "Children of the Elder God" from Alan Wake
I just played the game this year, really glad it's getting more of a following now. Saw it advertised when it came out, but ignored it till I saw a lets play and it hooked me enough to go buy it myself.
I love that set pieces like Ashtray Maze are basically a normal part of Remedy's games now. Anyone who has played Alan Wake and are familiar with Poets of the Fall knows why.
I thought Jesse having a bland robot like or cold personality was a very purposeful choice to show the severity of her circumstances and trauma, she didn’t have any control before and thus her emotions, nuance, etc. we’re stripped bare by necessity, for survival. She was a puppet simply following the motions and being dragged around by fate and the mysterious forces behind the foundation. Near the end of the game the information is more flushed out, the fog of confusion and mystery is mostly cleared, if you could follow along, and Jesse has finally gained “Control”
It being a purposeful choice doesn't make it entertaining by itself. There's a reason why Alan wake (1) had Alan be sorrounded by a cast of much more reactive characters like Barry. It's because Alan on his own at that point in time would have gotten stale no matter how intended his character was.
"You just have to join the railroad." I can hear Mitten Squad foaming at the mouth and dying off in the distance. Also, you're telling me this game emphasizes throwing shit at people, people at people, and people at shit like what was my favorite thing about playing The Force Unleashed? Sold.
"Return to monke" being the optimal playstyle sounds like a plus to me. If I can kill everything by hurling random debris at it with my mind, why would I even want a gun?
If you overdo throwing shit around, it gets boring fast as he said. I personally used the "sniper rifle" and the handheld chargable grenade launcher. That worked out well.
@@shlrup6154 personnaly I had the normal handgun min-maxed with 3 +100-60% damage to head, even at the end that thing still worked, tho monke was still more efficient
No lie, I managed to get that song unstuck from my damn head and now that I hear it again from the outro it's relodged itself. Thanks Max0r. Very cool.
I played control after seeing this video and can indeed confirm that Jesse is a fish in personality. The only emotional development she gets is from side-quests given by the *all powerful* finnish janitor and a single thing she says at the end of the Ashtray maze. Lobotimizing Dylan was fun though. I can also confirm that you will become an ape and/or chimp once you dive into the 2 ton boulder hurdling. Objects in and out of your sight line will fly straight at your target at actual ludicrous speed. You could yeet a sand particle and it'd break every bone in your targets body at once.
Levitating entire forklifts and watching two tons of unyielding metal shatter into one of those flying dodgy fucks is so satisfying. It just swats them out of the air, glorious.
@@cailleach8416 i have played. forklifts are my favorite projectile (sentences that sound insane out of context) also, i finished the game, so i finished the video too :D
The thing that annoyed me about this game is that my 2 brain cells can’t understand the god damn map, I literally got lost trying to find someplace for 2 days until I found out I already passed the door I was supposed to go to.
I played Doom 2016 right after playing this and I never thought I'd appreciate a well-made map as much as I did then (the fact you can rotate it in 3D in Doom). In Control I had to look up videos of how to get somewhere because the map was so useless.
I use Max0r’s videos to guage how much my knowledge has increased, the more I can under and the more references I know, the larger my brain muscles have become
I bought this game a week ago because I vaguely remembered this video and I can say that it’s most definitely the BEST game I’ve literally EVER played.
If there's one thing I will always love is how Max manages to use 2015 vine meme sounds and not have them sound like absolute cringe. Truly we live in a golden era of quality shitpost
I played this game way before this video and I maxed out my launch ability as soon as possible. I did what maxor did without his influence, his review is very accurate
Replaying the game right now, and being high while you play is a BIG recommend. Making the incomprehensibleness more incomprehensible is just so much fun

The Ashtray maze is hands down one of the best missions ever put into a video game, I could play through it a hundred times and not get bored of it.
I played this a few years ago, and yes, the Ashtray Maze is fucking beautiful, especially first playthrough. As soon it was said that some games have a peak that stays with you forever I got goosebumps just remembering the Maze.

A little late to the party, but there is one saving grace in the DLC that I love... and that is the freaking movie camera fight. Fighting on moving platforms, dodging obstacles, and vibing with the music makes it so good I would play it just for that boss fight again.
i feel that kind of got ruined by having a tomasi boss with 10x the HP and how the autosave works for that fight. but yeah its fun at the start
Hey, the guns aren't completely useless. You can use it while "throw rock" is on cooldown.
Assuming you aren't just hiding behind a pillar, of course.
It's how I beat Salvador. Just camp behind one of the pillars near the TV while occassionally pot-shooting some Hiss grunts to seizable health and then throw things at the main guy to take down his shield and his health.
What I did is I used pierce with a bunch of damage mods and I actually started dealing great damage with the gun

How this game remained so low key and never caught on is a tragedy, you’d think with how big the SCP thing got they’d be interested in a game based in the “NOT-SCP” foundation and this unique and interesting story.. also the key to being op in late game is stacking the damage and fire rate mods as much as possible.. nothing else maters.
This was pretty big on PC because it was one of the first games to truly showcase RTX and DLSS.
If only he was able to find a damage mod....
I never knew until this review that Control was SCP-related, and I surely am not alone.
From what I had seen of gameplay, it looked extremely mundane in setting, mechanics, and story. I never was interested in playing Alan Wake and Quantum Break either, despite very well knowing of their existence.
Seeing now that the story is probably more interesting than I thought is a welcome development. But even then Remedys games are unappealing to me. I think Remedy needs to get out of their comfort zone with their next game, if they want to attract new customers that haven't played their prior titles.
This game was a pain to run on xbone and PS4 cuz of all the spectacle. It was really huge on PC because it was one of the first games that debuted RTX and DLSS technology
@@roberttausig9170 I'd rather they keep going with the Remedy universe than pander to some new kids with short attention spans.
Going from Bricky’s hour long essay about CONTROL, it’s story, combat, strengths, weaknesses, and feel and then watching this again is a real experience
Especially since the both are so similar in their conclusions.

If you hold the button, the item you are going to throw flies next to you and hovers waiting for you to throw it, but you can also just tap the telekinesis button and launch stuff at an enemy instantly, the flying telekinesis enemies can't dodge those quick launches.
eh, quick launches don't really do much damage. it feels better to hold it for a while and then throw it
@@weenusgobbler3862
I do not reccommend doing quick launches for all enemies, only for the enemies capable of dodging slow launches.

Good news.
Most of the criticism of the guns is fair, but if you manage to lean into it hard enough and specialize it definitely can keep up. When I absolutely loaded up the spin mode to do extra damage on crits, and refund bullets on crits it turned into a boss mulching buzz saw. Plus with enough shield/dash recharge and enough shotgun you can solve any problem.

I was laughing so hard after the first 4 minutes my eyes and throat hurt. But Max isn’t wrong. Rocks are, besides the Pierce gun, the only good damage dealing option you’ve got. Pierce outscales literally everything with headshots, ADS damage boosts and charge shots, but you’ve got two shots before you have to wait for more ammo. In the meanwhile, just throw rocks bro- after finishing the Foundation DLC (which needs another expansion) I got a mod that makes it so the Pierce doesn’t need to charge…at all. And my fucking RPG Pistol is 1000% faster with over 3 times the AOE. If you do side quests and get the mods (which the game shits out at you to the point you will usually have a LOT of great ones so long as you actually kill things and do side missions) you can basically kill everything with Charge and Pierce with zero issues. *Everything.* First boss? Dead. Horde of Area Bosses? Fuck em’. The final Boss? Crickety crack, there goes his back
I don't know about rocks and pierce being the only good damage source. I found that, at least while i was playing the game, playing the melee and shotgun would also usually still one or two tap enemies
The final Hartman fight can go die in a fire tho
@@thesnek5311if you can consistently land headshots or even enough body shots the regular pistol can be good, I never hit a strong damage fall-off with it
odly enough ı much prefered charge as ı've had 2 lvl 4 damage mods
Glad to see I was not the only one who felt like Pierce wasn't the weapon that "hit like a truck", but rather the one that hit like the ENTIRE FACTORY OF TRUCKS.

The thing I love about "Take Control" in the ashtray maze is that it actually explains major plot points of the game before they even happen.
These lines show the death of Polaris' body, and Jesse being taken over by the Hiss as a result:
Oh, can’t you see, see the light is fading?
And in the night the demons rage and call your name
No deeper madness than your own making
Visions lashing blades of shame, but will you take the blame?
And these lines explain that Polaris has become a part of Jesse and can live on even without the main body:
A rising sense of awe and wonder
A might I see has always been deep within me
I can feel my inborn power
I call the shots when it’s all finally clear to see
The same thing can be said about "The Poet and the Muse" and "Children of the Elder God" from Alan Wake
Seeing both in and out of universe their all the same band yes.
Literally all the songs by "old gods of Asgard" are incredible
@@kieran.grant_ What if I told you there's another 9 albums worth of stuff under the name Poets of the Fall.
@@chiffmonkey my friend, I owe you big-time for this.
I just played the game this year, really glad it's getting more of a following now. Saw it advertised when it came out, but ignored it till I saw a lets play and it hooked me enough to go buy it myself.
I love that set pieces like Ashtray Maze are basically a normal part of Remedy's games now. Anyone who has played Alan Wake and are familiar with Poets of the Fall knows why.
I thought Jesse having a bland robot like or cold personality was a very purposeful choice to show the severity of her circumstances and trauma, she didn’t have any control before and thus her emotions, nuance, etc. we’re stripped bare by necessity, for survival. She was a puppet simply following the motions and being dragged around by fate and the mysterious forces behind the foundation. Near the end of the game the information is more flushed out, the fog of confusion and mystery is mostly cleared, if you could follow along, and Jesse has finally gained “Control”
Yeah the post-game content really does some legwork for her character, and yeah obv Darling and Trench Are the best.
It being a purposeful choice doesn't make it entertaining by itself.
There's a reason why Alan wake (1) had Alan be sorrounded by a cast of much more reactive characters like Barry.
It's because Alan on his own at that point in time would have gotten stale no matter how intended his character was.

The ashtray maze’s theme alone gets into my top 5 soundtracks in gaming
"Return to monke" being the optimal playstyle sounds like a plus to me.
If I can kill everything by hurling random debris at it with my mind, why would I even want a gun?

I played control after seeing this video and can indeed confirm that Jesse is a fish in personality. The only emotional development she gets is from side-quests given by the *all powerful* finnish janitor and a single thing she says at the end of the Ashtray maze. Lobotimizing Dylan was fun though.
I can also confirm that you will become an ape and/or chimp once you dive into the 2 ton boulder hurdling. Objects in and out of your sight line will fly straight at your target at actual ludicrous speed. You could yeet a sand particle and it'd break every bone in your targets body at once.
Levitating entire forklifts and watching two tons of unyielding metal shatter into one of those flying dodgy fucks is so satisfying. It just swats them out of the air, glorious.
