Shacknews Top 10 Games of the Year 2019

#7 Game of the Year 2019 - Control

Control is a game that may simply be a bit ahead of its time. The astonishing graphical presentation puts it into cross-generational territory where the current consoles are not up to the task of presenting the game at its best, much like we saw from the 360/PS3 versions of Shadow of Mordor. Control offers a welcome change from the much of the current-generations crop of AAA titles thanks it its striking brutalist aesthetic and intriguing sci-fi story. It proudly flaunts its DNA for all to see, but delivers on the best overall experience that developer Remedy has ever produced. If you can afford the hardware to push it to the max on PC, Control gives us a glimpse at the future of game graphics and presentation.
