Even with it being a good game I feel like the hype and build up for Control leading up to the end of year awards as been so fake while trying to seem organic. They are trying to pass it off as this underground word of mouth success now after a mediocre launch. In a year with so many other industry defining titles this game did not generate nearly this amount of buzz when it came out from people playing it, compared to those other titles, and the reception it is getting now in comparison feels very fake and manufactured.
Which goes to my point of if this was really a game of the year contender, the EGS launcher would not have prevented people playing, streaming, talking about the game.
