CONTROL Resonant

Few studios are capable of so consistently capturing that feeling of the new and awe-inspiring, and perhaps none can match Remedy's mastery of it. Resonant indeed.

Control Resonant is a lot of fun, with stunning visuals and a remarkable narrative style. The battles can get repetitive, but they don't quite detract from this new masterpiece from Remedy.

Despite those shortcomings, however, I couldn’t help falling in love with Resonant the more I played. The bizarre paranormal world of Control is on full display in this sequel, and it shines through in both the Escher-esque world design and amalgamation of side stories that are a joy to discover. Resonant feels experimental in a lot of ways, like Remedy pushing at the bounds of what it’s known for. But the bumps along the way are more than worth it for the astronomical highs Control Resonant reaches.

CONTROL: Resonant is the kind of sequel that swings for the fences, and for the most part, it lands. Remedy has taken everything that made the original Control special and expanded it into something bigger and stranger, filled with otherworldly level design that feels pulled straight from an alien’s mind and brought to life. Dylan’s melee-based combat is also a welcome shift, creating satisfying encounters that complement its semi-open world with focused, fast-paced action. Still, many things need addressing, from performance issues during crowded encounters to a deeply underwhelming ending that leaves more questions than answers. Overall, these faults don’t take much away from the experience, which is packed with Remedy’s visual and audio splendor. With just a few imperfections, it remains an otherwise mesmerizing science-fiction story that breaks the traditional Pattern of what videogames can be.

It’s an incredibly artistic world dripping with style and that classic Remedy aesthetic, and the more linear sections are the studio at its absolute best. While there are some open world fumbles that kind of drag the overall quality down, the rest of Control Resonant is so spectacular that they’re worth putting up with. It’s another great entry in the Remedyverse, and I’m all in on what the studio wants to do next.

It took us a long time to really get to grips with Control Resonant. But once we’d mastered its quirks, we had a lot of fun with this wacky action game from Remedy.

Whereas that 2019 title was a splendid synthesis of Remedy’s signature strengths, Control Resonant‘s many failures make it seem as though it came from a different studio altogether. Its melee combat is bafflingly hollow, relentlessly repetitive, and poorly balanced across the board. Dylan’s quest to save the day lacks inventive concepts that stretch the mind and ends up being a fairly one-note story with an unearned ending. By failing to engage the fingers or brain, Resonant is not just a disappointing sequel; it betrays the very notion of what it means to be a Remedy game.

My perfect game for sure. Not since Spider-man on Playstation have I really enjoyed exploring the many details of this games Altered Manhattan. Dylan Faden is such a great protagonist as a redemption from being the previous game's big bad. As the game invents new ways to get around the city and stumble across some really cool easter eggs from previous games like Alan Wake. This is the best iteration of all of Remedy with story telling and throwing all sorts of surprises left and right. This should be the standard of these games, re introduce your abilities from the first have and go ham on new abilities and skills you can choose, change and play. I cannot put down the controller and wanna 100 percent this game and help that poor little doggie get his dragon toy.

Es un buen juego pero tampoco nada del otro mundo pero si esta bueno la campaña si mantine el interes

Buen juego pero muy equis la verdad si lo recomiendo si es su tipo de juego pero no mas haya

Overall, the game falls short of the Jesse version in terms of story and combat enjoyment; it also suffers from repetitive missions and ramped-up difficulty, as if the studio has shifted toward a "Souls-like" approach.

Everything is great except fighting (well that’s majority of the game, and it is beyond terrible). Monsters don’t die and you get finger fatigue from pressing the same square button over over and over again. As the game progress monsters become impossible to kill, you just keep hitting them and guess what you start the die. Again and again for nor reason. Flying objects pass near you but you die. Something explodes some where you die. In close areas you don’t have much chance to see what hit you or not. So many problems. Some people will say skill issue, no. I loved Soros for example but you knew how to navigate through hell there, here game leave you desperate .
