2019 Supernatural Thriller Control Is The Eleventh Free Mystery Game From The Epic Games Store This Holiday Season
Control is a supernatural/sci-fi thriller, much in the style of Alan Wake and Quantum Break, other big-budget games from Remedy Entertainment. Players are put in the shoes of Jesse Faden, who must fend off a paranormal threat and uncover the truth using a variety of weapons and psychic abilities.
Control is best known for its whimsical story and setting, as well as breathtaking visuals. The moment-to-moment gameplay is also a lot of fun, including throwing objects from the environment at enemies. It was a 2019 GOTY contender for a reason, and that's certainly an argument.
The Epic Games Store is giving away the base game, which according to howlongtobeat.com offers approximately 12 hours of pure fun. Players can also get their hands on DLC, AWE, and The Foundation if they choose from the Epic Games Store.
Notably, a multiplayer spin-off based on Control is in development at Remedy Entertainment. It is codenamed Project Condor.
