Developer Remedy is back after quite some time since their launch of Quantum Break to deliver on their latest title Control.  Control is a third-person action-adventure game that is heavily story-driven as you make your way through and learn about the Oldest House as well as your powers as Jesse, the new director of the Federal Bureau of Control.  But if you’re looking for a review of this game you’re in the wrong place, we’ve got that covered in Alessio’s game review.

Control brings back the Northlight Story Telling Engine that was used in the excellent Quantum Break game, but unfortunately due to a rocky start with a Windows Store exclusive and a DX12 only launch the game was met with much criticism around its performance which marred an otherwise fantastic game. Quantum Break later saw a launch on Steam along with a much smoother running DX11 version of the game.  This time around Control will be available on the Epic Games Store and be ready for DX11 or DX12 modes that must be selected when launching the game, although this is a bit of a hindrance to needing to do each time you launch the game. Remedy has spent an abundance of time working on DXR Ray Tracing for quite some time, even releasing a very interesting powerpoint from their GDC 2018 presentation showing regarding how DXR reflections and shadows would be implemented into their engine, so it only made sense when the RTX lineup from NVIDIA came along that this engine would be prime for showcasing.  But we’ll get more into that on the last page, on to the testing.
