The lighting mechanics in Control are still unmatched.
Alan Wake 2: Building The Remedy Connected Universe – IGN First
While not exactly the pinnacle of its portfolio, Remedy Entertainment still has a lot going for it in Control, a video game released back in 2019 that has many subtle details that gamers deserve to know about. Fortunately, it seems to be getting the recognition it deserves after 5 years of release.
One of the many things that make the game perfect is the lighting mechanics, and the gameplay makes it obvious how the developers have spent a lot of time fine-tuning every detail of how it works in the game.
With franchises like Alan Wake and Max Payne to its name, it will be fundamentally difficult for the studio to once again overcome the expectations of fans. However, that's exactly what it accomplishes in Control, bringing to the table not only a twisting plot line but also extremely refined mechanics polished to perfection.
