Control is now available for PS4, PC, and Xbox One. I reviewed Control and stated "Despite some issues, such as audio errors and bullet sponge enemies, Control constantly entices the player with new discoveries. It carries the same tones found in other Remedy Entertainment games while establishing its own identity as a great new IP."
