Both the game and DLC are on sale this week, from the link in the OP.
Bought it yesterday and imo not worth playing on console
The UI and control suck and no strategic view makes late game a slog to play
OMG I actually checked the price before asking but I totally had a brainfart. Thanks for pointing this output, I'm totally getting it Added to my wishlist a week or two ago, how lucky! ^_^
I think I'm going to go for it. Seems really up my alley and should be a nice refresher after I finish Psychonauts 2.
No worries, I spotted it in the sale yesterday then saw your post this morning! I've already got it on PC, mostly for playing in VR, but I'm umming and ahhing whether to double-dip on Xbox One X for the 90% of time I don't want a headset on, or wait for a better sale price on Switch than the current 50% off/£17.99.
A bunch of stuff was added to the sale as Control, Virginia and Ghostrunner popped my Psprices alerts
Please tell me more. I'm very tempted to get it. How's the performance?
Snagged Control on XSX for $16. I had it on PS5 via PS+ but I let my sub lapse. Such a great game.

Just FYI, the $16 Control SKU is the Xbox One version playable via BC on Series X.
This $20 seperate SKU is the Series X version with ray-tracing and 60fps mode.
You can apply for a refund if you want the actual Series X port.
This is from the 505 publisher sale for their anniversary.
Is that how it works for sure? The $16 listing says it includes the Series X|S version.

Can confirm the $16 version gives you both the X1 and X|S version of the game.
It had an Xbox One X patch that introduced 4k 30fps and 1080p 60fps modes which both run pretty flawlessly. It's a particularly pretty space-faring game IMO due to the judicious use of colour and some cool backdrops giving it a lot of visual variety.
It has a few different ships that play radically different to one another, and have different builds available to them (for instance a large, slow ship with a heavy shield only at the front, a small maneuverable ship that uses drones etc.).
If I were to give it any particular criticisms it would be that the permanent upgrades (some apply to the pilot, and some to each individual ship) don't always seem to make an immediate difference they're very incremental but definitely build up over time. The Encounters DLC helps this abit by having a number of persistent story arcs that you can progress each run making the progress feel more tangible.
The upcoming sequel looks to drop the roguelite elements in favour of a straight-up space exploration game, it might already be out on PC but not console yet.
