It’s hard to tell if Control’s powers will live up to how fun Quantum Break’s powers were to use. Using Telekinesis is a good way to remove enemy shields and cause some area of effect damage. Control may only have a single weapon compared to Quantum Break, but with the various forms, mods, and how each form will react to enemies, there is much more depth.
#QUANTUM BREAK CONTROLS MODS#
Finding hidden caches will often provide you with mods for your Service Weapon and crafting parts. In my demo I was able to use it as a pistol and then change it into a shotgun of sorts. You’re able to change the form of it, as well as add modifications to it. While you only have this single weapon, it is actually much more versatile than it seems.
Yes, this organization bases who their Director is based on who this weapon chooses to bond with. I was equipped with the Service Weapon, that oddly enough is a Source of Power and how the Bureau chooses their new director. It’s not clear how far along in the game I was at the point I started, but if I had to guess, it was still fairly early maybe within the first three missions. The portion of the story I was able to play showed a lot of promise between the story beats, characters, and gameplay. The Federal Bureau of Control gets invaded by an otherworldly threat that CONTROLS people. Often throughout the environments you’ll see humans floating midair as if being hung by puppet strings. From what I played, The Hiss literally takes control over people and uses them as puppets. I have a feeling that The FBC has a bit more to do with The Hiss and we will need to get dirty finding the answers. During her quest for personal answers as the new Director, Jesse is struggling to regain The Federal Bureau of Control from The Hiss.
In Control you play as Jesse Faden (modeled and acted by actress Courtney Hope) who joined as the new Director of a secret organization that was recently invaded by an otherworldly threat called “The Hiss”. Uncover the truth about the FBC, Hiss, and why the Service Weapon picked you. However, Control takes everything you loved from Quantum Break: cool powers, weapons, environments, narrative, character focus, and then expands upon them and trims out the live action fat.
Control for the most part feels like a branching story of the Quantum Break universe they feel very similar gameplay-wise even with the tone and theme. Luckily, the gameplay of Quantum Break is where it shined with its various time control powers and unique ways it used time warps within the environments. I do applaud them for trying something new, but unfortunately it just didn’t quite land as well as I was hoping.

However, even as big of a fan as I am of Remedy, I still had some issues with Quantum Break and that mainly had to do with the narrative and the live action TV show. I’ve been a huge fan of Remedy since the first Max Payne and I have been enjoying watching and experiencing them grow. But the extra flair that comes from realistic reflections and lighting really sell certain scenes. Oh boy does it look fantastic! Even without the RTX, it is a very good looking game. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Remedy Entertainment and 505 Games at E3 2019 to get my hands on Control’s newest build with Nvidia RTX features.
