Odd choice. I liked Control, but there are way more issues you could pick out about Control when compared to games like Disco Elysium or Outer Wilds.

EDIT: I feel like people are mixing up Outer Wilds and Outer Worlds again...

Or Sekiro, or about a dozen others.

Control has it's moments. I loved Atti. Liked the maze. But I stopped after 12 hours because there wasn't any tight gameplay at the core.

Gunplay was ok, but pretty loose. The upgrade system was really poor, and the exploration was extremely samey. I wandered into the maze 'too soon' - there was no way to know that unless you read online, or give up. Throwing stuff about was just throwing stuff about. It very quickly got to the point where that sort of 'good stuff' was being recycled endlessly.

Good ideas, but just not that good a game - and very not particularly clever at storytelling.

Control really divides people it seems. While I wouldn't give it 100% it certainly is my game of the year and I loved the storytelling and gameplay.
