Control Resonant Review

TL;DR

  • Control Resonant is an arthouse action game by Remedy, a sequel to 2019's Control.
  • It features strong character progression and a visually appealing paranormal world but is considered safe and less distinct than the original.
  • Players control Dylan Faden, exploring Manhattan after supernatural elements escape the Oldest House.
  • The game offers enjoyable traversal mechanics, including triple-jumps and gravity shifts.
  • Boss battles against the Resonants are a highlight, with unique designs and an order-agnostic approach.
  • The narrative shifts towards a more conventional redemption story, lacking the original's surrealism.
