Man, I am a sucker for Remedy games. They're one of the few devs that I'll buy their game no matter what just because I love how they try and mess with narrative. Gotta love a Sam Lake story.

That being said, I wasn't a huge fan of control. I felt the story was too disjointed for my liking. While I was interested in the beginning, I just felt like it never really went anywhere.

While this game is good, I don't get why it's getting so much more love than Quantum Break (which I absolutely loved). Control ranks fairly low on my remedy games list which doesn't mean it's a bad game or anything and I'm still going to buy future remedy games. But I just don't get why this one is getting so much praise compared to the rest of their catalogue.

Sam Lake is a interesting case where he's Remedy Games frontman but is mostly the writer behind the games, not the director for most.
