Control Gameplay

   

Like Remedy's previous projects, Control is played from a third person perspective and it is built using Remedy's proprietary Northlight Engine, which was first use on a company's previous title Quantum Break. The players wield the Service Weapon, a supernatural firearm that can be adapted into a variety of different forms with different combat application.

The service weapon can be upgraded throughout the game using a skill tree in order to gain new powers. The Service Weapon and Jesse's abilities both expend Jesse's energy, necessitating a balance in their usage.

Due to the versatility of the game, Control's combat system can be customised according to each player's personal preference. As the players unlock new abilities, new areas of the Oldest House can be explored.

Control is set within the Oldest House, a featureless Brutalist skyscrapper in New York City, which is referred to in-game as a Place of Power.

Control is built in the Metroidvania format, with a large world map that can be explored at a nonlinear pace, unlike Remedy's previous titles, which are primarily linear. Some of Jesse's abilities allow her to seize control of enemies' minds temporarily, turning them into her allies, and allowing their abilities to be used for the player's benefit.

The game delivers the story of the Federal Bureau of Control, its directive to deal with all sorts of paranormal stuff, and Jesse, its new director. The player will play as Jesse Faden, the organisation is based in a brutalist structure in New York simply called the Oldest House.

Remedy hasn't explained how exactly, but through mysterious events Faden is appointed as a new director and she acquires supernatural powers. It falls to her to overcome the Hiss and take back the Oldest House.

Conclusion

Control will have a complex game play mechanism and it will be a longer term experience than its previous games. It explores a diverse environment and shifting architecture in a deep unpredictable world, set within a sprawling New York building. Control promises to be a thrilling experience for whoever plays it.
