Remedy's newest game, Control, is a modern Metroidvania that deals with unlocking new powers and moves to explore areas. Here are five games like Control.
Batman: Arkham Asylum's powerful intro paves the way to an excellent gameplay experience, even almost 15 years later.
Control 2 will shift to an action RPG, Remedy confirms. The first game is set to receive a free update in early 2025, unlocking previously released content.
I only played about an hour of Control when I added it to my library back when it was one of the PS+ ‘free’ games. I’ll start it over again after the early 2025 update is dropped. I keep hearing that it’s a good game.
These days "RPG" translates to constantly grinding for experience points, wasting time upgrading gear, and repeatedly collecting resources off the ground.
Please don't be an Ubishit style filler game.
So in other words it's an action game needlessly fluffed out with RPG mechanics and a pointless leveling system. I really enjoy RPGs when they're actually RPGs but modern action games really tire me out when they shoehorn in mechanics they don't need. All this does is make a 20 hour game into a 40 hour game because missions become locked behind level requirements, and enemies become damage sponges. It's not fun, it's tedious.
