Today’s game is Control. I’ve been wanting to finally finish this after beating Alan Wake II. Today, i 100% Silent Hill 2, and decided to pick it up and give it a try. I must have stopped at the worst time because i stopped right before the ashtray maze, and i finally understand why people love this game. I don’t want to spoil it for people who haven’t played. But it was super fucking cool.
The game also just generally is pretty, which i appreciate. The quarry reminds me of the Xen from Half Life:
The stars in the sky i love too. I’m a sucker for anything space so i was happy to see the stars.
I also played around with the Photo Mode with Jesse. Here’s one i got of her pulling the switch:
I spent so long trying to time it right, i’m really happy with how it turned out.
I see what you mean about Jesse. It’s been a while since I played it, but I remember her being cast as an unwilling and unlikely hero, which can be a hard role to write well. Also, the acting was a bit stilted at first. I think she got better as it went (both the character and the voice acting).
