First play-through of CONTROL. Got it for $4 on PSN on Supa-Sale.

    This game bugged me, it totally missed the SCP vibe for me and it put me off. I also found the combat pretty boring.

    I always liked the way that SCP is about a bureaucratic organisation trying to control and contain these supernatural entities. In Control they live inside an entity and literally let one control the organisation. That just seems so anti-SCP to me.

      Maybe because they didn’t actually made a game about SCP.

        It’s a communal project in which people make up lovecraftian monsters and objects that they share on a wiki, basically. There’s an expansive system of lore to it, including an MIB-esque organization that is collecting and, when possible, innoculating them, as well as all these different methods and procedures for interacting with them and categorizing them and junk.

        Lots of strange and creative ideas scattered throughout. I liked it when it was just starting off but haven’t kept up, so I can’t speak for the modern quality overall, though I’m sure they’ve still got some bangers here and there.
