I agree with this actually.

You might want to tell Melonie Mac on YouTube about some "Woke" stuff being actually decent.

Admittedly Doctor Who under Chris Chibnall and Jodie Whittaker, not being one of those examples.

After playing Control last night, it confirms mine and your point quite well BOTS.

It's got a couple of woke elements definitely there, but it's overall a good Game with some interesting Sci-Fi concepts.

Is Control woke?

I'd say mildly, nothing narrative destroying though imo.

I would say that the combat was annoying though, it put me off the Game.

Just pump every single point and upgrade pretty much into the telekinesis skills and it's a good "power fantasy" IMO especially once you have the flying abilities etc... Can more or less ignore the gun entirely, upgrade the basic pistol mode fully and ignore the other modes. Telekinesis is OP. But in a fun way. The "If in doubt, throw a forklift truck at them with your mind" method.

Thanks for the tip, in case I do go back to it in the future.

I don't get the point of a skill tree being put in the Game though, if only one thing is of any use to the player.

Yes I agree with the second part - Control has a massive skill tree and loads of abilities but in literally EVERY situation the best plan is "Throw big things at them with your mind!!!", and the best upgrades are the "Throw bigger stuff!!" and "Throw even MORE stuff!!!!" upgrades . It's fun but not well-balanced gameplay wise.
