Excellent game, but need iCloud saves
I was very impressed with how well this game ran on a mobile device (17e), and it plays flawlessly on my M1 Pro. An excellent game, but iCloud saves need to be implemented. This is a game I would truly play between my phone, iPad, and Mac. Please bring this feature.

Control, ironically, cannot contain its explosively fantastical masterclass in both storytelling and
Control is a beast of a game that effortlessly builds a world and history of such richness that that alone would carry it to success. Luckily, Remedy doesn’t stop there, treating players to a personal and epic story of peeling back the layers of reality, of facing the mundane and not allowing it to constrain us as we define who we are. Metaphors and messaging of inner strength and hope clash deliciously with the terrifying nature of the nonsensical, marking Control as a story of stories helmed by a capable and colourful cast.
Come for the mystery, stay for the power. Control boasts a chaotic collection of paranormal abilities and frenetic gunplay to keep the player’s adrenaline pumping while pushing the technical talents of the developer to mesh delicious destruction with a haunting atmosphere that promises many a mystery to come.
Even its frustrating elements (looking at you again, map) and rough landing can’t stop Control being one of the best games I’ve played in the last decade and one of the richest worlds I’ve had the pleasure of immersing myself in.

FPS counter?
Great game that runs excellently on my phone. What would help, however, is an FPS counter. So I can actually see exactly how well the game is performing at my current settings.
Great game with only one real flaw.
First, you should absolutely play this game and experience the story. If I had to say this game had a flaw it’s that you only have one save game, so if you want another playthrough, you have to wipe out the game you’ve already been playing.
Ray tracing on mobile
The game just looks great with ray tracing, despite some anti aliasing issues on some parts. Metalfx helps you get 60 fps even if half of it is fake, its still good on mobile especially since this is one of the most demanding pc games of 2019 or so.
One of my issues is storage though, this game has the same storage as the pc version but as a mobile game, we can’t really use any of the highest settings especially with ray tracing. Wish they deleted some assets for mobile optimization.

Disappointingly unplayable
I was looking forward to this. It looks like a lot of fun… except it frequently looks only like gloomy darkness. I get that there’s a vibe but removing the brightness control from the iOS port means I can’t actually see anything, even if I crank my device brightness to max.
In-game brightness is an accessibility feature that allows for variance in ambient lighting, player eyesight, and screen reflections. Device brightness is not especially effective at managing these.
Secondly, my controller doesn’t have a square button, or a circle, or a triangle. It has an X button, but y’all seem to think it’s something different.
I want to like this, but I can’t play if I can’t see, and I can’t play if I can’t control the game.

iCloud Save when?
I want to be able to play on my iPad Mini 7 at night and M2 iPad Pro during the day.

What’s the point of Universal Purchase if crossaving doesn’t work through iCloud Saves. Please fix.

Only bought the game on the weekend so obviously very early days yet , really enjoying what I’ve played so far and the graphics are great and the story is engaging can’t fault the game whatsoever and for a fiver you can’t go wrong, only thing that would have made it better for me is the game can’t be synced between my iPhone and iPad , otherwise love the game.

⚠️ Major storage bug — uninstalling does NOT free your space (please read before installing)
The initial install is a small ~700MB shell, then pulls down ~45GB of assets on first launch. When I deleted the app to free up space, that 45GB+ stayed permanently stuck in “System Data” and would not clear — restarting the device, using the in-game “Delete Asset Packs on Next Run” toggle, and even a full iOS software update all failed to recover it. Trying to reinstall doesn’t help either — the App Store just asks for another 45.1GB on top, since it treats it as a brand new install rather than repairing the old one. So the orphaned data just sits there permanently, doubling with every reinstall attempt.
Remedy’s own support site actually confirms this is a known issue (see “Recovering Lost Storage Space for CONTROL Ultimate Edition on iOS” on their Helpshift page), and their own fix is an unofficial workaround involving deliberately changing your system date to trick iOS into recalculating storage — not something the average player should have to do.
The only fully reliable fix is backing up and doing a complete Erase All Content and Settings on your entire phone. That’s a big ask — for anyone with hardware-bound security apps (banking, government ID apps, etc.) that can’t simply be redownloaded and reconfigured, this isn’t a realistic option, meaning the storage may just be gone for good.
For anyone considering this game: make sure you have well more than 90GB of truly spare storage before installing (not just 45GB), and understand that deleting the app afterward may not give that space back through any normal means. Please, Remedy — this needs a proper patch. An uninstalled app should not permanently hold a device’s storage hostage.

Absolute masterpiece
I’m so glad to see this game make it to Mac (and iPhone/iPad) so smoothly. It’s one of the greatest games ever made in terms of its references to real-life conspiracy theories and Coast to Coast FM style alien stories. It is imbued with a sense of nostalgia and wonder that I just adore.
No iCloud Cross Save Between Mac and iPhone
I have several hours of gameplay on my iPhone, but learned that there’s no iCloud Cross Save between iPhone and Mac. Very disappointing.
5 star
Top game here, enjoyed it so much on my 17 pro max
BUG
When entering the AWE (Altered World Event) dimension for the main quest 'Unknown Caller', I temporarily exited the game. When I returned, I was no longer able to enter the dimension to complete the objective. Additionally, the in-game lighting has become extremely dark. The game is now permanently stuck at this point. I cannot re-enter the dimension to progress, and restarting the game doesn't fix the issue.

Controller issue
Looks fantastic on iPhone 17pro! Using the Backbone controller isn’t great though. Sprinting is sporadic and pretty unusable.
Top notch
A game must be really good for me to take the time to do this. Hours of enjoyment… amazing graphics console game quality. I really hope they make a sequel. I thoroughly enjoyed the end. Or what I thought was the end. lol Highly recommend.
