    The fluidity of the combat and movement looks fantastic. Can't wait to put 10 hours into getting used to it, then watch a video of some dude doing a 40 hit mid-air combo and realize I have no idea...

      I spent all my time in Control ripping chunks of walls to hurl them at enemies and still had a blast.

      Of course it looks good, it's a trailer. We're seeing each thing once at its most novel, instead of repeating it ourselves a thousand times over the course of several hours. A video is never going to accurately represent how the gameplay feels.

      My advice to you is to consider the game based on how you felt about other factors, not the gameplay. Historically, Remedy gameplay is serviceable; it's connective tissue, and if you ask me this game looks no different. The real draws are the story, environment, and graphics, so whether you'll enjoy it will depend on those a lot more.

    Nice. The creeping dread aspect of the original Control was a bit much for me. This seems to have kept the weird but is a little less of the creepies. I hope so!
