These are our favorite game demos from E3 2018

There are all kinds of games at E3 and some of them are just absolutely unplayable. By which I mean, they’re not available to be played, so we just look at them and hear about them. But they’re still real games, and they’re really coming. And some of them look absolutely incredible. These are our favorite games from E3 2018 that weren’t yet in playable condition. There were other games out there, but with only a few days we could only see so many games – if we didn’t get to see your favorite game from the show, hop into the comments and let us know what we missed.

Control

Remedy makes weird, fascinating, and fun shooters. They have been since the 2001 release of Max Payne. Control looks like it’ll be the culmination of two decades of experience and game development. It unites the core pillars of each of the studio’s big tentpole games, and expands them into an explorable metroidvania-style world. In this game, you’ll play as Federal Bureau of Control director Jesse Faden as she fights something called the Hiss that is trying to break into our world. It’s a game full of the unexplainable. Weird, with a capital W, is the best word to describe what’s going on in Control.

Development on Control still has a ways to go, and we’re expecting 2019 at the very earliest, as Remedy games have a tendency to get delayed – but it’s always for the better. Whether we’re playing Control in 2019 or later, I have faith that it’s going to be a solid game and, hopefully, a return to form for the company after the detour into live action that was Quantum Break.
