While I haven’t had a chance to go hands-on with Control, I have to say, its action is looking pretty impressive. I love how fluidly protagonist Jesse can take to the air – this one ought to fulfill some superhero fantasies. Haven’t been keeping up with Control? Here’s the official synopsis:

Set in a unique and ever-changing world that juxtaposes our familiar reality with the strange and unexplainable, Control is a third-person action-adventure game combining Remedy’s trademark gunplay with supernatural abilities. After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, players will take on the role of Jesse Faden, the new Director struggling to regain Control. This sandbox-style, gameplay-driven experience built on the proprietary Northlight engine challenges players to master a combination of supernatural abilities, modifiable loadouts and reactive environments while fighting through the deep and mysterious worlds Remedy is known and loved for.

Pre-orders for Control are now open, and everybody who reserves the game will get a special Tactical Response Gear outfit for Jesse and a crafting resources pack. Of course, there are the usual assortment of special editions, with the Retail Deluxe Edition ($70) including a metal case and a collection of art cards.

Those playing on PS4 will also get a variety of bonuses, including exclusive weapon and character mods, the Astral Dive suit for Jesse, and two PS4 themes. There’s also the PS4-exclusive Digital Deluxe Edition ($80) which comes with yet another outfit for Jesse, an additional side mission, entitled “Isolation,” and access to both of the game’s upcoming expansions, “The Foundation” and “AWE.” A bit confused? As is becoming standard, Control has a pre-order chart to help you figure it all out. Actually, it has two, one for PS4 and one for PC/Xbox One – check them out below (click on images for full resolution).
