This is a good game. I need to finish it but God damn the difficulty spikes hard at certain points. It was basically not even challenging until I got to like the 3rd or 4th boss and then it became harder than Dark Souls. The references and humor are off the chain, though. They not only have analogues to popular SCPs, they reference their own games like Alan Wake and Max Payne in both story and game mechanics and it's awesome.
Also: I feel bad for the dude who had to keep his eyes on that fridge. So close to being rescued...
They don't just reference Alan Wake. Alan Wake and Control are literally in the same universe.
There's a DLC that connects the two together, and there will probably have a lot of connections to Control in Alan Wake 2. I'm sure that's part of the reason for the sale.
