Control
4.8
(11)
"Control. 3rd person shooter with great music and story."
"If you've not played Control yet, it's in gamepass and it's really good"
"Control is fantastic, I've played through it three times."
"Control"
"Control should be at the top of the list."
"Control, Evil West, Turnip Boy (either), Halo series, and Tunic"
"Control - Brilliantly weird action game with powers that make you feel like you're some kind of Jedi or superhero."
"Control definitely outshines... and understandably. Remedy would have had knowledge/skills from 2016’s Quantum Break, and much more, in 2019's control."
"Control"
"Try Control"
