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. ### 3/5 — Controller issue *2026-08-14, version 1.354* Looks fantastic on iPhone 17pro! Using the Backbone controller isn’t great though. Sprinting is sporadic and pretty unusable. ### 4/5 — It didn't work right away, I had to reinstall it *2026-08-12, version 1.354* At first, the game weighed more and constantly crashed. I reinstalled it, now it weighs less, and it started. I don't know what the reason is, maybe in the iOS update, 17 Pro Max. ### 4/5 — Good Game with Engaging Story *2026-07-14, version 1.33.1* This game offers an engaging story, stunning visuals, and stable frame pacing. It works well on the base M1 MacBook Air with 8GB RAM. It’s great to see what Apple and game developers are doing with Apple Silicon. ### 2/5 — Bien mais… *2026-07-13* Le jeu tourne très bien et ne chauffe pas trop sur mon MacBook Air M3 16 Go. Les graphismes sont très beaux, le jeu très bien optimisé et l’histoire incroyable. Cependant, de nombreux bugs nous coince dans la progression si l’on bugge à certains endroits. Je me suis retrouvé dans ce cas et j’ai donc dû recommencer tout le jeu, ce qui est quand même très énervant. Mais sinon, malgré ces bugs, le jeu est top. ### 4/5 — Fun Game, but Ray Tracing Support is Misleading for iPad Air owners *2026-07-10, version 1.354* Pretty fun game overall but my biggest complaint is I bought this because it’s supposed to support ray tracing on iPads with M3 and higher and 10GB of RAM. Well on my iPad Air M4 and 12GB of RAM, ray tracing is not supported. So I feel this is misleading. The requirements really should say you need an iPad Pro and that iPad Airs are NOT supported. ### 2/5 — Running behind the clock *2026-07-06, version 1.354* It's so exciting to see a AAA game ported for ipad but only if they run correctly. I was so excited about this game. But now it runs on slow motion on my ipad air M3 11 inch and I reinstall asset packs. It didn't work. And I can't play it. It also still doesn't ray tracing on my M3 even after updating packfiles. So dear remedy. Please fix it ### 4/5 — Install and control issues *2026-06-27, version 1.354* Game looks great once it’s running. Install took a few attempts and I can’t get backbone controller working properly. It’s working for most things but sprinting and interacting. Please add controller support ### 5/5 — Surprised! *2026-06-26, version 1.354* I played only 30 min on ps5 and left the game. But decided to give a second chance on iOS and realized, what mistake I made to ignore it before. Great job! ### 5/5 — Excellent, one enormous unacceptable fault. *2026-06-26, version 1.354* Five stars because I want more AAA titles on iOS, and this game specifically is incredible! However it’s 2026 and the lack of cloud saving is fully unacceptable. ### 4/5 — Please add controller support *2026-06-25, version 1.354* I love the game but please add controller support I have a Backbone ### 2/5 — FIX APPLE VISION PRO M2 VERSION *2026-06-25, version 1.354* Game eventually boots up after 20 minutes of a one time game asset download, which is fine. However, after all that, the game runs poorly. It runs at 2x speed, settings labels for graphics are labeled extremely weird. When this game was promoted, it seemed like there would be a Vision Pro dedicated app. Instead, it's just an iPad app COMPATIBLE with Vision Pro. We'll take what we can get honestly, but fix these issues! ### 4/5 — iPhone 17 pro needs optimization. *2026-06-24, version 1.354* iPhone 17 pro. Recommend setting RT. At first it seems to work quickly, but after about minutes game starts “slow motion” and crash to Home Screen. It needs optimization. I would also like to adjust the size of the interface text and make the subtitles even larger. And iCloud save please! ### 2/5 — A great game ruined by poor controller layout *2026-06-24, version 1.354* This would be an amazing game. It has that old school Half-Life and Max Payne feel to it. Unfortunately all the enjoyment of playing the game hindered by the absurdly poor controller layout. It is absolutely appalling that the developers don't allow user controller layout customization other than adjusting the sensitivity. The touchscreen control buttons are way too small, way too low, and way too close. It might be perfect if you are an 11 yo or have the finger girth of someone who hasn't gripped anything heavier than an energy drink in their life. However, for those of us with more common adult finger sizes, it makes the game clunky and not only difficult to play, but also frustrating to play. When the width of a thumb covers three buttons, then obviously there is going to be issues with reliable responses, intuitive feedback, and muscle memory. I have played a lot of games and this game has the worst controller scheme I have ever used. I would say that there is maybe a 60% success rate when in an action sequence I only press the button that I intended to press. This makes certain missions requiring timing and precision almost unplayable at the worst and unenjoyable at the least. One mission in particular is the field training mission which unlocks an object of power. Given that you only have 60 seconds to complete the course, it is extremely difficult to navigate the course without inadvertently pressing more than just the button I wanted to press at some point during the run, which runs up the clock for any corrective action. Now I wouldn't say I have excessively large hands, but the native controller layout scheme is clearly designed around someone with extremely small hand dimensions. It might be a great game if you use a hand controller or if the developers made some modifications or, better yet, allowed individualized customizable controller layouts, but as it is, I am taking a break from this game, as it is too frustrating to attempt to play to one's full potential due to the failures of the control scheme. ### 4/5 — Playing with Backbone controller *2026-06-23, version 1.354* First off, AMAZING to play this incredible title on my iPhone Air. Works almost flawlessly. I’ve had maybe one crash which isn’t bad. Only thing: I’m using a backbone iOS controller and when the camera view is directly behind Jesse and I’m going forward, running by pressing R3 doesn’t quite work. I have to adjust the camera angle slightly to the left or right and then it works fine. Controller is working normally with other titles so it’s not the controller. It’s a little annoying and I hope it gets fixed. ### 5/5 — Great combat, game concept, world building is good. *2026-06-18* The map is a bit difficult to traverse. Plus love the fact that they don’t fill your screen with objective markers and let players figure out the map themselves. ### 4/5 — Bester Port *2026-06-17* Einer der besten Ports die ich bisher gesehen habe und ich hab sie alle gesehen und gespielt. Ich würde es sehr begrüßen wenn raytracing auch auf Geräten mit 8GB ram läuft, falls es technisch möglich ist. Das iPhone 17 sollte dazu in der Lage sein denke ich. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t install on iPad Pro M4. *2026-07-17, version 1.354* Total waste of money. Don’t buy! ### 1/5 — System files bug critical for your device!!! *2026-06-26, version 1.354* The game files are downloading to system data on your phone and it won’t be de deleted with game. After reinstalling game it’ll be taking twice more space on your device and etc. Avoid this app if you don’t want to do factory reset losing all data. ### 1/5 — Add cloud save syncing *2026-06-19, version 1.354* This is probably the first game I’ve ever played that doesn’t have iCloud save syncing, please add it, it’s really annoying not to have it on day one but a simple update can implement it. Fix the frame gen on the iPhone 15 Pro ### 1/5 — Can’t delete this app *2026-06-13, version 1.354* You won’t delete this game. Beware!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t see! iPhone 17 pro max.. *2026-06-11, version 1.354* This is unplayable for my it to dark and the no way to adjust it. I’ve played this on stream and didn’t have a problem. This is cleanly an issue with porting it to iPhone ### 1/5 — Great game, horrible breaking bugs *2026-06-07, version 1.354* The game is fantastic. Plus a full AAA game with a fantastic ambiance, mechanics, and plot to experience. Which would all be fantastic, except of the game stopping bugs throughout the iPad version. These do not persist on a MacBook Pro, but on the iPad you might as well just pass on this. Constant bugs where pulling up a menu freezes the game, and creates a soft-lock save file you cannot recover. ### 1/5 — Waste of resources *2026-06-03, version 1.354* Please make a better way to download the game data I download about 10 times and it's go back from the start of download. Have wasting my time this trash 🗑️ ### 1/5 — Mal otimizado *2026-06-02* Jogo num iPhone 15 pro Max, vive caindo FPS, está praticamente injogável. ### 1/5 — Unspielbar auf Apple Vision Pro M5 *2026-05-30* Hallo Support-Team, ich spiele Control Ultimate Edition aus dem App Store in der aktuellen Version 1.354 auf einer Apple Vision Pro mit M5-Chip. Leider tritt weiterhin ein schwerwiegender Fehler auf: Das Spiel läuft mit ungefähr doppelter Geschwindigkeit, sodass sich das gesamte Gameplay wie ein Zeitraffer anfühlt. Dadurch ist das Spiel praktisch nicht spielbar. Ich habe verschiedene Grafikeinstellungen getestet – von niedrigen bis hohen Details sowie mit aktiviertem und deaktiviertem Raytracing. Das Verhalten bleibt unverändert. Besonders enttäuschend ist, dass dieser Fehler bereits seit über einem Monat bekannt ist und bislang kein Update veröffentlicht wurde, das das Problem behebt. Können Sie mir mitteilen, ob bereits an einer Lösung gearbeitet wird und wann mit einem entsprechenden Update zu rechnen ist? ### 1/5 — Can’t download, storage issue *2026-05-28, version 1.354* As you’ve probably already read, if you’re downloading this game and it’s not working for any reason do NOT DELETE AND REDOWNLOAD! The data will just be rotting in your phone with no simple way to get rid of it outside of wiping your phone. 1/10 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5 star *2026-08-15, version 1.354* Top game here, enjoyed it so much on my 17 pro max ### 5/5 — Top notch *2026-08-13, version 1.354* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing port but *2026-07-26, version 1.354* Arabic language not support in this version in ps5 support Arabic ### 5/5 — とてもいい *2026-07-19* 感動したので初めてレビュー書きます。 steamで買ったら4000円くらいするゲームが800円でできて、めちゃくちゃ楽しい、こんないいことはないですよ。 iPhone17eだと低設定にしてても若干カクつく所はありますが、逆に言えばそれぐらいクオリティの高いグラフィックです。低設定ってわからないくらいいいです。スマホゲームをしているということでを忘れてしまいます。コントローラーを使ったほうがいいです。 おすすめです。 ### 5/5 — Top Notch *2026-07-13, version 1.354* Have this on the PlayStation as well. Graphics and gameplay runs smooth, sound is phenomenal and little to “NO” lag. I Rand a solid 45-60fps (sometimes higher). If you want the BEST experience, you’re gonna need a M4 or M5 chip. Anything under can and most likely WILL impact performance. If it’s not an “pro”, expect less. 🤷🏽‍♂️ ### 5/5 — A-Grade Sci-Fi! *2026-07-13, version 1.33.1* Remedy has done it again mixing beauty, horror, mystery, and action into a sci-fi hit for the ages! It’s cosmic-liminal madness; a surreal blend of ‘Inception’, ‘Backrooms’, and telekinesis; and the first proper triple-A S.C.P. game. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-06, version 1.354* Amazing port. Great game. Must have. ### 5/5 — I think this may be the best aaa port so far *2026-06-28, version 1.354* Well worth the asking price. Runs smooth and a great game to revisit ### 5/5 — Exelente e arrumaram os problemas com armazenamento *2026-06-28* Os dumps do game são salvos como dados do sistema e desinstalar o jogo do aparelho não resolve. Devs, resolvam isso rápido, por favor! Edit: Bug Resolvido, com isso o jogo está perfeito ### 5/5 — This game is just beautiful!! *2026-06-27, version 1.354* I love the story and the gameplay is fenomenal and I get to play it on my phone whenever it’s mind blowing!!! I really hope the next one comes out for iPhones as well PLEASEEEE --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
