Control

Mike and Dave become parautilitarians and protect the Bureau from the Hiss and (in the latest expansion) the Shadow in Remedy Entertainment's 2019 Game of the Year; Control, on this episode of "Post Game" presented by Two Player Bros!

The Bros will talk about how amazing and powerful the game makes you feel; from your Jedi-like "Launch" ability to the awesome otherworldly service-weapon.

They'll also discuss how the game follows a loose MetroidVania style with its awesome and interesting Oldest House world map as well as how the Hiss enemies were a bit samey and the mods system needs a bit more work.

Later on Mike and Dave talk about the world and story of the game. From the obvious influences of Twin Peaks and The X-Files to the world building notes, videos, and recordings strewn throughout the Oldest House, Control does an amazing job of both confusing its players and having them totally believe in this strange, creepy, exciting....and sometimes funny world.

Mike also talks the latest AWE expansion and how this game links to the Alan Wake game series.

So hit the play button, listen and remember to keep on gaming!
