Control is a game that really fired on all cylinders for me.

I feel this is Remedy’s best work, and some of the best weird fiction ever produced in games.
Even with its flaws, AI: The Somnium Files is an exceptional game. As it became apparent that the final hours were drawing near, my biggest problem with the game was that I didn’t want it to end.

You’ll certainly be hearing this game come up again when the time comes for us to talk about Game of the Year!
