Comment on Control - the first game to get me to turn on cheats in decades

I made it to the mezzanine fight an hour or two in and realized that the NPC-s are just dumb high DPS bullet sponges and the PC is a low DPS squishy. The worst way to ramp up difficulty. Trying to fight tactically from the cover didn't work and I lost interest. Too bad, I liked the atmosphere and even forgave the 3rd person only camera (normally I disqualify a game instantly if it doesn't allow 1st person view).

Disqualifying a game because it’s 3rd person seems like a very stupid and nitpicky policy.

I just find 3rd person view clumsy and disorienting. Especially in CQC. 1st person gives me much better SA and feels way more responsive.
1st person view is also way more immersive—I want to be the main character, not a puppeteer pulling the strings on them.
