Control is a third-person supernatural action-adventure developed by Remedy Entertainment. Players assume the role of Jesse Faden, the newly appointed director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC)—a clandestine government agency tasked with containing and studying paranatural phenomena. The game is set within the FBC's shifting, Brutalist headquarters, "The Oldest House," which has been invaded by a corruptive entity known as the Hiss.
Gameplay
The plot follows Jesse's search for her kidnapped brother, Dylan, while she navigates the FBC's crisis. Gameplay blends traditional shooting with telekinetic abilities gained by binding with "Objects of Power." Jesse can levitate, create shields, and manipulate the environment to fight possessed agents. The Oldest House acts as a Metroidvania-style environment, where players unlock new areas and lore through exploration and mission progression.
Forklifts
Forklifts are a common sight within the industrial and maintenance sectors of the Oldest House. Once Jesse unlocks her "Launch" telekinetic ability, these heavy vehicles become devastating weapons. Players can telekinetically lift and hurl forklifts at Hiss-infected enemies or use them to smash through environmental obstacles, providing a highly satisfying demonstration of Jesse's escalating power.
