Control- Video Games As Art

Control is an intriguing game in which you play as the Director of a secretive New York agency tasked with keeping a supernatural force at bay. So far so videogamey, but what seperates this game from others is the strange dynamic Old House, the building that changes, grows and moves. This makes the play space intriguing and constantly in a state of flux, adding to the sense of confusion. It reminded me of Mark. Z. Danielewski’s stunning ‘House of Leaves’ with hints of ‘Twin Peaks’. The game is stunning and on my playthrough I took some great shots.
