For the most part I loved/am loving the expansion with the only issue I have being a pretty major one. At the point of writing this, I was quite happily playing along and have had the game crash twice, the first I was able to escape from by using a bit of Alt Tabbery… but the second time that would not release me from the game, no crash report, nothing. Control Alt Del did very little but by using the windows key I was able to bring up the start menu and though I couldn’t do much there I was able to restart the computer. I’m not currently keen to jump back in, preferring to wait to see if there’s a patch, but I would love to continue playing in the world of Control and that’s testament to the game world Remedy have created. If you share my love for the game world, the story, the whole feel for Control then I’m sure you will want to get The Foundation!
Polished DLC at a Remedy-like quality standard – and that's a huge compliment. The ability to modify the environment doesn't leave a mark, but the narrative, the new floor and the gunplay more than compensate for that minor drawback. Waiting for the Alan Wake DLC, The Foundation is an excellent reason to visit the Oldest House again.

The new visit to the Oldest House is thoroughly enjoyable, while expanding on the strengths of the main game.
The Foundation is a (too) linear and fun end game mission for Control. The setting is very weird and fascinating and it's really amazing to unleash the full Jessy potential. On the other hand, the new power, Shape, is less creative and game changing than it should have been, and the result is that the exploration and gameplay feels a little bit railroaded.
The Foundation is an honest DLC, which extends the main adventure opening a narrative parenthesis that is not exactly explosive, but still solid and convincing.
Quotation forthcoming.
The world of Control has its hooks in me, but I still don't particularly enjoy playing it. The platforming isn't any kind of challenge or thrill, and the combat fills me with rage and despair. It's interesting that a game called Control can make me feel like I have no control over my character or the battlefield. Traps help, but they only go so far.
Despite the fact that the entire DLC takes place in caves, which look a bit like the work of the developers of some indie game(probably due to the immortal blurring of the image in the Remedy games), I liked the game itself. An interesting story about the past of the oldest house. Couple new skills, couple secret quests. By the way, I really don't like it when in games authors make a very complex and/or difficult quest, the reward for which is some kind of banal useless crap.
The rest, I really liked in this game. The atmosphere of some parts of the Foundation was especially remembered(this is about the altered TV, if you played the game).

Неплохое длс. Купил оба дополнения за 300. Рекомендую покупать только во время скидок, так как длс очень короткое, ее можно пройти за 3 часа. Это длс должна рассказать о прошлом Старейшего дома и справляется длс с этим некоторых местах не раскрыто.

Pretty good DLC adds more to the story but gameplay is still the same and new abilities dont add much.

I think this game is a little bit over rated. The story isn't super compelling, the game mechanics aren't special, and all-in-all it's not much to write home about. It's a good single-player experience to pick up if you're waiting for next year's batch to come out though. I enjoy the face-capture graphics and I enjoyed Warehouse 13, so the story was familiar.
Go play Outer Wilds for a really unique experience first.
