With a new generation of gaming comes new buzzwords and hot button features such as raytracing and loading times reminiscent of the good old days of 16-bit gaming. When I looked at Control on the PlayStation 4 back in 2019, I praised it for being a moody, over-the-top action game, and although I still feel the game is great to play on older hardware, Control’s initial release on Sony’s ageing home console left the overall experience feeling not quite as smooth or responsive as initially intended.

Control Ultimate Edition brings with it all the key features mentioned above in addition to a solid 60fps performance mode running at a dynamic resolution that does a good job in cleaning up the overall image quality of the game. Particularly, in regards to anti-aliasing in materials such as hair and other complex meshes that appeared soft or distorted on older hardware.

Final Thoughts:

Control Ultimate Editon is a fairly standard upgrade over its previous release. Still, one that feels welcome and justified in giving new console players the best way to experience the game, minus the performance hitches that stilted last-gen iterations.
