Remedy Entertainment is best known for Alan Wake 2 and the Max Payne series, but to me, the developer’s best game is Control. This title expertly combines Max Payne’s shooting mechanics, Alan Wake’s otherworldly narrative, and Quantum Break’s physics-based gameplay. It has been re-released and updated several times, proving the game’s staying power. And now, it’s coming to Apple’s Mac computers.
I briefly played Control Ultimate Edition on the new Mac mini M4, which was the first time I’ve played the game since it originally launched in 2019. The high-resolution textures and buttery-smooth gameplay make it feel like a completely different game from the PS4 version I remember. I was also reminded why I fell in love with this game in the first place.
