Control PS Plus

PS Plus offers gamers a ton of value with free games and discounts. This month, Control is the new free game on the block, and it looks like a worthy pickup!

Control is a third-person action adventure game, where gamers take control of a secret agency director looking to combat a supernatural threat.

Here's what critics think of the game per Metacritic.

Gamespot - 80/100

"It's not often that a game invades my thoughts the way Control has. I'm at the point where I want to consume every last thing it has to offer. And if I'm honest, it also makes me want to go back and replay Remedy's past games, too."

Guardian - 80/100

"It’s as though Remedy challenged itself to cram every preposterous paranormal concept it could think of into a single game. But remarkably, it all manages to hang together, providing a meaty, exciting and utterly unforgettable video game experience."

IGN - 88/100

"Control is set in an engrossingly weird paranormal world that I couldn’t help but explore. Jesse’s versatile psychic skills and main weapon make for thrilling ranged combat. And thanks to a strong supporting cast, a well-written script, and plenty of intriguing breadcrumb trails, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my adventure through the shifting rooms of Oldest House."

Playstation Official Magazine (UK) - 90/100

"Impactful gunplay bolstered by a telekinetic twist, and a mystery you’ll be turning over for a long time afterwards. Welcome to the Oldest House, Director."
