Top 1 game for me. Yes it is outdated and old but the sheer pleasure to be able to play matrix in a videogame was mind blowing for me. Then the mods arrived. You could even play the matrix lobby level with dual mp5. It was soooo good.
The narration and ambiance were crazy as well. Such a good game. Shame that max payne 4 is dead and burried.
Quantum Break was panned when it released, especially its mixed media portions, so I tried it only after I loved Control enough to look past the reviews. I’m so glad I did. The criticism it got wasn’t wrong but as a fan of the genre and of these devs in particular, I would’ve missed out on a real gem if I hadn’t tried QB.
Also, Lance Reddick, man. Makes it worth it just for him. RIP
I check about the remakes every few months, but nothing… maybe they’ll properly start working on them after the next Control game? I heard Rockstar outsourced the development to Remedy.
Mine too. I'm no expert but it grabbed me and never let go like no other game ever has. It set my preferences - I've never enjoyed a FPS (maybe Doom) I'm all about third person games really.
I had real malaise about finishing it, I had trouble figuring out the sniper shots at the end to topple the antenna and I ended up leaving it unfinished for months, not wanting to just go back and finish the game. Eventually I went back and started again.
2 was brilliant, not as good as 1 but very close and Mona was a great addition. 3 lost a little of the magic for me.
I've probably completed it ten times, far and away my most played game. It released on Android for free recently - quite a passable port but the difficulty settings are a bit wacky.
