[PC, Epic] Free - Control @ Epic Games

4820

The next daily Epic freebie, unfortunately a repeat and a game most of us probably have by this point. A nice timely reminder to play this game! Ashtray Maze being an unforgettable sequence, superb.

From the Epic store:
After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, you become the new Director struggling to regain Control.
From developer Remedy Entertainment, this supernatural 3rd person action-adventure will challenge you to master the combination of supernatural abilities, modifiable loadouts and reactive environments while fighting through a deep and unpredictable world.
Control is Jesse Faden’s story and her personal search for answers as she grows into the role of the Director. The world of Control has its own story, as do the allies Jesse meets along the way. Jesse works with other Bureau agents and discovers strange experiments and secrets.

    Great game. Add this to your library if it's not already there.

    • +1

      Finished yesterday, and I agree: good game.

  • +2

    Ooh, nice! Enjoyed my playthrough on PS+ - but it can't hurt to add another freebie to the Epic Library :D

    Cheers OP

    • +6

      I also played it from PS+ (When they upgraded it to Ps5). Awesome play-through, loved everything coming together and being OP towards the end.

  • Didn’t Epic giveaway Control Ultimate Edition a month or two back? I know I already claimed it but this is still great for anyone that might’ve missed the Ultimate Edition

    • +10

      For Ultimate Edition, that was Prime Gaming in November

      Normal version was also free in June thru Epic. Maybe later too, this games been given away for free a number of times.

      • +1

        Ah that's right, it was an Amazon Prime/Twitch giveaway. Great game and the DLC with Allan Wake was pretty cool too

    • +1

      I think so. Twitch also gave out the ultimate edition to its prime members recently, on GOG.

    • FWIW, the Epic store also has the season pass for the 2 extra DLC packs in the Ultimate Edition on sale for A$9.19, until 7th Jan.

  • +1

    Already in lib but thx anyway.

  • got this game but it is boring

    • +2

      Yeah I struggled with it also, got about 8 hours in before I sorta stopped playing, the story was moving very very slowly

  • +1

    Damn, Prey really was the best new freebie they've offered. EPIC Game Store freebies have fallen off a bit this year. Was really expecting Watch Dogs Legion or something this time around. Guess the Fortnite cash is getting a bit bare after Apple cut them off and China.

    • +4

      TBH I get way more value out of the $15 coupon than any of the freebie games.

      • Which game did u buy using the $15 coupon? I've been lost trying to decide.

        • +1

          The coupon has unlimited uses, so you can use it on as many valid games costing $23.99 or more as you want.

        • +1

          Inscryption, Chicory, Ruined King

  • +1

    Repeat :(

  • Awesome deal but I already got it last time :(

  • Does this come with the DLC Prey: Mooncrash, or is there meant to be an alternative method to get that too?

    • +1

      Surprisingly, Mooncrash is included.

    • That is unfortunate you didn't enjoy it, did you play it all the way through? I loved it from about mid to late game.

      • No I couldn’t bring my self to waste any more of my time to get more then a few hours into it

  • +3

    Absolutely fantastic game, well worth a play through. The DLCs are even better and have ties ins to the Alan Wake universe.

  • +1

    The design and sound in this is phenomenal. I have no idea what to do with the artefacts and I got irretrievably stuck, but it's awesome.

  • +1

    Fantastic sound track

  • +2

    feels like Epic has cheaped out on this one? base game was free earlier this year, and ultimate was given away by Prime. not to mention that it was half a dollar for ultimate not long ago

    they should have at offered ultimate version today for it to feel generous.

    the game is fantastic though, even without DLC

    • Yeah agreed. To be fair to Epic, we shouldn't be complaining since they give out free games every week but it is disappointing that they've repeated this game in the same calendar year.

      • yes you are totally right, I am jaded by all the awesome freebies they have been giving away week in week out

        to be fair they have been generous enough to be able to cheap out on this one

        just looks inconsistent with everything else they've done so far, is all

        • Unfortunately Control has been one of those games that has been free everywhere… Gamepass, Twitch Via Prime, Less than $1 through CDkeys and now Epic x 2.

          I do agree they could've done better but we definitely can't complain.

  • +1

    I missed prey yesterday…I assume there is no way to claim it now?

    • +1

      Missed it. Good news is that it'll probably be free again sometime in the future

    • +1

      Its also free with Xbox Games Pass btw.

    • Once it is gone it is gone… They might do a redo next year like they did with Control.

  • +1

    Don't have this one. Thanks OP.

    • No problem, worth a playthrough! It starts slow but really comes together nicely.

  • +1

    The ashtray maze sequence was truly amazing and one of my favorite gaming moments of late.

  • Don't have it thanks!

  • +4

    I see where Marvel Black Widow got their marketing style from..

  • Just started my first playthrough the other day. Fun game so far.

  • Great, now I can play Control on GeForce Now.

  • Turns out I already have it, thanks anyway OP!

    • +1

      Definitely recommend giving it a go, great game.

  • Already played this on Game Pass, but will add it on Epic just in case my game pass expires.

    Great game! The level/game design is incredible. Creep atmosphere, awesome weapons and powers.

  • +1

    Great game. Played on PS5. If it wasn’t free I wouldn’t have seen it. Glad I did. Surprise of 2021 for me.

  • I played the first few hours of this game but didn't like it. This is coming from someone who loved Max Payne and Alan Wake. Something about this game just didn't hold my interest for some reason.
