Managed to play about 3 hours of Control. Liking it so far, but wish there was more stealth or maybe more survival horror elements... feels wrong to have a gradual creepy dread suddenly punctuated by all enemies coming to life and homing in on you in twitch based firefights

What was a little odd to me was walking through an area with lots of crannies to hide in and throwable objects and being like omg this would be a great area for some combat and… then you just keep going and nothing triggers. ok

Maybe some of them trigger on return visits…?

That was my thought, since the world an change because of a ketchup bottle or whatever, you would have to go back. Also the fast travel must be there for a reason

I'm not far in but I've encountered a few doors I'm clearly not going to be allowed to open for a while.

Side rant but—I feel when I'm playing AAA games like the thing that ruins them is it feels like all the components were developed in isolation & then glued together at the end. Like someone makes a cutscene, someone writes some flavor text docs, someone designs a combat encounter
