Control – Our Review | For The Players – The PopCulturists’ PlayStation Podcast EP118

1 hour 1 minute

It’s The X-Files meets Twin Peaks with a metroidvania and Resident Evil feel.

It’s Control.

The latest release from Remedy has come across Ryan’s PlayStation, thanks to Reboot PR, and he simply had to chat about it with Josh.

Control is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. The game revolves around the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), a secret U.S. government agency tasked with containing and studying phenomena which violate the laws of reality. As Jesse Faden, the Bureau’s new Director, players explore the Oldest House – the FBC’s paranormal New York headquarters – and utilize powerful abilities in order to defeat a deadly enemy known only as the Hiss, which has invaded and corrupted reality
