It's a metroidvania style game. It's a really large world, but you cover a lot of the same ground.

 

I love Remedy's games, and this is by far my favorite.

I think so, this game is them firing on all cylinders.

I think the game was too long and a lot of it is running through the same boring office building .

[Tears of the Cows 1,213]

I never played Max Payne 2 but control was one of the more fun games I’ve played on ps/xb in a long time

Gotta fast travel dawg

 

idk how to check but I feel I beat the main story in under 10 hours. I didn’t care to fully Max out my character but maybe one day I’ll get the dlc

 

also- fuck the jukebox. Tried it twice and never went back, don’t even see a reason to as I beat the game

You easily missed half the game, not to mention multiple boss fights.

maybe one day I’ll go back. Idk. That one level with the music was fucking tits tho 

[JonB 150]

The environment was just boring and you just ran around and got into the same style gun fights with the same enemies .

The gameplay was fun tho . Just got old .

Pretty sure it took me about 20 hours and by the end I was dreading playing it

@JonB @DynamiteCop

did alan wake get a visual update with the one x? i've been thinking of giving it another shot. i can't remember why i stopped playing it. there were parts i liked, but something bugged me. i just can't remember. did it have framerate issues on the 360?

 

anyhow, i'm going to check out control tonight. 

[JonDnD 2,647]

I dont think it did

[Tears of the Cows 1,213]

Alan wake and control tie in together and I assime

the next will be connected

Lmao, what? I beat the game with just one or two side quest left around 12-15 hours. It's short as fuck. No DLC though, just the vanilla game.

 

@-GD-X It really isn't that long. 

[JonDnD 2,647]

It is that long if you play the whole game

[-GD-X★ 7,761]

i played it for a bit and i just wasn't feeling it. like, i totally get why many like/love it, but i wasn't in the right mood for it. sick physics and particle, though! nice ray tracing too.
