The difference is immediate and obvious, in a way that none of the other RTX implementations have been so far. It’s the showstopper, the game that makes people go “Oh, I understand why ray-tracing is important.” The Oldest House is full of glass-office partitions, poster frames, televisions-and real-time reflections turn each and every one into a mirror. Months later I’m still thinking about my journey through the Federal Bureau of Control and its headquarters, the Oldest House.īut more pertinent to this list, Control is also the reason to own a GeForce RTX graphics card with its real-time ray tracing capabilities.
Drawing inspiration from New Weird literature like The Southern Reach Trilogy, from the SCP Foundation, from David Lynch, Control is Remedy’s best game since Max Payne 2, or at least its best-realized. There are plenty of reasons to play Control ($60 on Epic Games Store).
