  Control is severely underrated

  I’m sorry but the subtle shot of Optimus Prime in the power plant at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0UORQcVPY&amp;t=2432">40:32</a> is absolute comedic gold. “Alan crosses a yard of transformers” this is not getting enough credit for how good it is.

  Cool fact that wasn&apos;t included: Sheriff Sarah Breaker is an Agent of the FBC and her Night Spring codeword she shares with people is a network of other Agents. The reason they&apos;re stationed there is because of the events of Cauldron Lake in the 70&apos;s left lots of Altered Items as well as lots of AWE (Alter World Events) being traced at Bright Falls constantly. You can find proof of this in Control in a memo, Frank Breaker was a retired FBC agent that did regular reports and then had his daughter take over.

  It is really cool how Control tied it all together. &nbsp;There was something about the marketing of Control that made it seem like just another generic shooter/puzzle game when it came out, and I had a terrible PC, so I had just written it off for years. &nbsp;I ended up getting it free and just added it to my &quot;Games that I own, but am never going to play&quot; list. &nbsp;Eventually I got a nice gaming PC and wanted to test it out, so I finally downloaded Control. &nbsp;I played it for a little while just admiring how good it looks, and soon found myself immersed in the world. &nbsp;After I finished it, I was just kind of sitting in shock that a game I had written off as something that I didn&apos;t think looked fun ended up being one of my favorite games ever.<br><br>Control is kind of an imperfect masterpiece. &nbsp;The gameplay loop can get a little stale, but the world they created constantly drives that desire to uncover more, and when you finally uncover everything the game has to offer, it throws in the curveball and connects to a world outside of itself.

  Even having this explained to me step by step I still have no idea how any of it makes sense.

  What I love so much about the Alan Wake games is that the way they portray it makes it seem like there is no Cause and Effect. It’s Effect and Cause.

  I absolutely love Alan Wake and I&apos;m so happy someone at least mention that Alice monologue. IT WAS DEVASTATING to me. I think it&apos;s pretty much a good showing of the scale of torture Alan went through for 10 years. Rest In Peace Brett Madden.

  Alan Wake would honestly make a fantastic movie/series akin to The Last of Us. It has plenty of stuff that blends something similar to Stephen King and a hint of Christopher Nolan’s films that I think would become a classic if done right.

  When I had control for my ps4 I was running around offices and found a file that read &quot;bright falls incident&quot;. I&apos;m like oh shit control and ala wake are in the same universe.
