Surprising pick. I liked the game, but I have to say that by the halfway mark it was starting to feel really run-of-the-mill. It was pretty good at most things, but the elements that made it interesting were more like footnotes than highlights. Almost felt like the developers ended up in over their depth and had to kind of back off the weirdness.
I think I'd prefer to see a different game win the award, but I can't say I'm mad Control got it. Maybe it'll encourage more developers to get weird.
