as a control fan, i agree. the art direction in that game is something else.

I was delighted to see that a sequel is coming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJTBoQhWaC0

The maze level on the original game has to be an all-time best level design.

the sequel trailer got me into the first game, actually :)) and I'm already sold on these recursive pigeons. is it multiplicative resonance?

> all-time best level design

well, the only worthy contenders are DEATHLOOP and Dishonored 2 :>

but yeah, Remedy does deserve every award they got with Control
