TBF... obfusication is a major theme in the game. Everything about it is meant to mysterious. I guess some people didn't wanna look behind the poster.

I like to think of Control as sort of an experiment in engaging curiosity in somewhat novel ways.

I think artistically, the value of Control is undeniable. But the actual experience won't be for everyone, because it is a high concept project.

But for those it is, it is really, REALLY good.

Control is ok even for those who doesn’t want to spend time to look and read for clues, docs etc in the game. The action is plenty enough for them. But they’ll miss the story eventually.

The death stranding though…
Oh my god. What a great game but what a painful experience to finish it.

Its definitely no death stranding lol. I mean... it has a prominent, action oriented gameplay loop. The gameplay alone is exciting.

God of War tells me more about the game just within the title than all of control ever did in any commercial. Call of duty is clearly about war. The Elder Scrolls must be about some old scrolls. WoW must be a lot of war lol. Far Cry, I didn't see any crying. Control, who tf has any idea?
Is this comment some kind of a joke?

Death Stranding the only game that revolves around a glorified delivery boy and ain't it strange how all the customers/deliverees can't seem to really get off their arse and help him?
I quit playing once Conan (but not the barbarian) made an appearance in the game.

Death Stranding was certainly a very polarizing game, love it or hate it

Right. Control floaty things. We've done that in games before. Multiple popular games. Marketing is supposed to get me to open my wallet. Why would I if I don't have a clue what for other than control floaty things.
Never said it was a good or bad game just the marketing was very poor.

I still don't see how Control's marketing is worse than that of any other game. I also still don't see why marketing should form basis to pass judgement on the game itself.
