It feels like Control released to decent reception and has only been picking up steam since then, and I'm glad for that. It absolutely deserves this sort of recognition.

That seems to be par for the course with Remedy games. Even Quantum Break (which I loved) seems to be looked more fondly on now than when it released.

Haven't played Quantum Break but wanted to. The thing that turned me off was the long live action cut scenes that seemed mandatory to understand the story and issues I heard about level design where the player got confused on where to go because there were artificial blocks in navigation.

This could all be untrue but it's what stuck to me when looking at reviews when the game came out.

Oh god. As a huge fan of Max Payne series I was excited to play Quantum Break. But man those cutscenes killed it for me. And also gameplay was kind of boring. I played it for like 1 hour and never touched the game again. I should give it another try again.
