This is a good game. I need to finish it but God damn the difficulty spikes hard at certain points. It was basically not even challenging until I got to like the 3rd or 4th boss and then it became harder than Dark Souls. The references and humor are off the chain, though. They not only have analogues to popular SCPs, they reference their own games like Alan Wake and Max Payne in both story and game mechanics and it’s awesome.
Also: I feel bad for the dude who had to keep his eyes on that fridge. So close to being rescued…
They don’t just reference Alan Wake. Alan Wake and Control are literally in the same universe.
There’s a DLC that connects the two together, and there will probably have a lot of connections to Control in Alan Wake 2. I’m sure that’s part of the reason for the sale.
The way they reference Max Payne is the same. Perhaps all Remedy games are in the same universe.

I am very much not a great player and didn’t have much of a problem until the very end with Hartman at which point I broke down and looked up some strategy and then finished it on the first try.
The biggest challenge for me was having hardware powerful enough to play it at decent settings and without frame drops.
Yeah I had to grind a bit once I got stuck, and then it went by pretty easily. I went into the dlcs to grind.
Little tip for the difficulty spikes; use the built in assist mode. It doesn’t effect achievements or progress, and it lets you adjust stamina, health, aim assist, and even just say screw it and turn on god mode.
