What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 77 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Mostly Positive (95 of 121 positive).
Players praise the game as a faithful and enjoyable adaptation of the classic board game. [1][2][3] Some reviewers find the tutorial insufficient for newcomers, making the rules hard to grasp. [4][5][6] Several players note the AI provides a solid challenge, though it may become easier over time. [7][8][9]

Would I recommend this game? Perhaps, but if it has to be a binary answer, I tend to say "no". Once you figured out how to play this game, it is some fun if you like strategic board games. But the in-game tutorial wasn't any helpful to me. In the end, I watched a video on YouTube explaining the physical edition of this game, and figured out the rest by observing the AI and trying out stuff, taking a couple hours …

Overall good, scratches the itch for strategic decisions without being tedious or heady. If you like Ticket to Ride, or perhaps Civ (but don't feel like diving in to a new map), this will be a refreshing change of pace. Pros: Hex tiles (always sexy); deep decisions with simple premise (i.e. good mechanics design); stable; clean and simple interface; AI so far seems pretty ruthless and has clearly schooled me on easy …

This is an awesome implementation of a highly regarded board game. And done brilliantly, may I add. Two game modes, basic and standard, the former lacking the strategic insight of the latter, both providing solid challenge. Online multiplayer. Very accurate representation of the original's board with clean, simplistic, yet elegant design. On top of that, there is a brilliant tutorial that will guide players through …

Faithful and enjoyable computer version of the classic board game. Good job, guys.

Really impressive digital version of that awesome classic board game. Rules and graphics is almost the same as in classic version. Good enough AI. It is worth the money.

positive · AI labelView post →Super late to the party but Control is really good…. It’s been on my ‘one of those days’ list for years now, and with Resonance out, they ran a $6 Steam sale for the original which put it in the impulse buy category. Fast forward a week and I’m out of town for work with some hotel time to kill so hooked my Steamdeck up to the TV and gave it a go and wow… I see what the hype is about. Any non spoiler tips, tricks, or things I should be on the lookout for?
