9 Positive User Reviews for Control Ultimate Edition
Dated but fun game on Mac
Reminds me of another 10 year old third person shooter but this one is single player. It’s worth your time and money because there isn’t a lot of options on this platform. Main character seems to be going through some kind of dream and if you can get past that the mechanics are fun.
Great Port
I have played this game on both ps5 and windows and loved it so when I saw there was a Mac port curiosity got the better of me and I had to test it out. I tried it on a m1 MacBook Air 8gb so pretty much the lowest end hardware the game supports and I’m very impressed. I left it on default settings which is around medium at 540p native with metalFX and it pretty much always stays locked at 30 fps and looks pretty decent as well. You are getting a way better experience on a thin and light laptop f
Good game, with only minor annoyances
Control is fun and well polished. The Mac port runs very well. There were just a few minor issues. Achievements were not working at first, but this is fixed in an update. I did encounter an issue with a softlock after starting over a new game, and the only solution was to delete my save file and start over.
Winner winner chicken dinner
Now do Alan wake and quantum break for Mac :)
Fantastic Game and Solid Port
This has been one of my favorite games of the last 5 years or so. I originally had this on PC and bought again for Mac.it plays very well with no Ray Tracing on the M1 Max, but if you have the M3 or M4 Max, you can jack the RT up for some fantastic visuals. I wish the save files were synced across devices, and they made it a little easier to find and copy your Windows save files. The Mac save files are buried VERY deeply within hidden folders and the obscure “Containers” directory of the users L
Good port but room to grow
This game is a really good port, I have an M4 MacBook Pro and at mostly Medium settings I can get about 60FPS at an internal resolution of 720P. However I feel like there is more room for optimization. Don’t get me wrong its perfect performance compared to comparable windows laptops but games like Death Stranding are games that show just how much you can get out of a game when you really optimize for the M series chips. Still if you are interested in the game and your system can run it I say pic
Great Game and Port - Just lacking iCloud Saving
This game works really well and I have found enjoyment into playing it and was happy to purchase here vs steam to show support for MacOS gaming. One major flaw is lack of iCloud game saving and restricts me to just playing on my MBP and can’t switch to my Mac mini unless I want to play a separate game.
Really cool game mechanics
The game mechanics are really fun to play with. The story is good. I have Mac mini M2 8GB RAM and it runs very smooth 60fps 720p upscaled with MetalFX to 1440p. I got this game at a huge discount too so that’s even more awesome!

Dull
Cinematic graphics don’t make up for it being very boring. It’s like an episode of “The X-Files” that never leaves the drab FBI building. Waste of money.
