#i love all the pieces!!!! i have aboslutely no idea why they cannot congeal for me into a game i by all means should love

control remains the most baffling piece of media i have ever encountered for the sheer fact that every single aspect of that game on its own is one of my all time favorite tropes, and i absolutely adore all of the aspects of it as individual aspects (jesse as a character, jesse and dylan, the oldest house as a place, the fbcs fascination with specifically controlling and cataloguing things, the graphics, the concept of the hiss, polaris, the level design + visuals, the ways it's interested in pushing how to interact with it as a game that it looks like aw2 continues, the way that its collectible lore entries are written/stuff like the live action videos, etc etc! the list goes on!) but i CANNOT find myself interested in the game as a whole and i cannot fucking figure out why for the life of me

#pers #i dont think it says anything about the game itself theres just Something blocking my interaction with it and i dont know what it IS. #im in the middle of watching my third playthrough of it from a letsplayer who is specifically interested in exploring as much as possible #and finding all those little side entries and engaging with the story at that level ykwim. like i TRULY should care about this!!!! #i love all the pieces!!!! i have aboslutely no idea why they cannot congeal for me into a game i by all means should love #it is BAFFLING. every time i interact with this game i walk away just feeling deeply confused #LIKE JESSES WHOLE MOTIVATION IS FINDING HER MISSING BROTHER THATS THE BENJI TRADEMARK WHAT IS THISSSSSS
