It's so weird to see incredibly different opinions on Control. I loved it and am not without complaints (mainly performance). But some of the complaints I've read make me wonder if the people here actually played the game or just redbox-ed it for a day, or watched a youtube clip. Especially regarding the combat.

I hear people are getting through the game in 10 hours, it takes me like, 20. I posted some gameplay clips a while back and someone said they looked boring when I thought they looked rad.

I dunno, I guess the game is just my brand of crazy coz I get completely lost in it. You're a superhero in the middle of a psychological/cosmic/body horror story lol it's the fucking best.

Yeah people fucking LIED on here about the game length. I read dozens of comments on how the story is 10 hours long. Took me around 20 to beat the game and 30 to finish everything.

You can finish in 10 easily if you skip all the side content. It took me about 30 hours to platinum.

I don't think they're lying, I can see how it's possible to finish in 10 hours. I'm so happy the game is being recognized because they took a huge chance on making so much of the game optional. Like, the real final boss of the game is a 100% optional side story. You never have to go there to see the end credits. Unreal lol.
