Joining for the first time today is Matt, aka Stormaggedon, as they guide Lewbop through the twisting, mysterious world of Control, Remedy Entertainment's acclaimed supernatural action-adventure.

• Jesse Faden's story, paranormal abilities, and unforgettable boss encounters
• How Control's gameplay, atmosphere, and worldbuilding hold up years after release
• Whether Control is still worth playing in 2026 and our thoughts on the upcoming sequel Control: Resonant
