Control Resonant Review
PlayStation 5, Xbox, PC; Remedy A surprisingly conventional game from a famously weird developer, this sequel to 2019’s Control is accomplished but safe
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.
