An Absolute Masterpiece that left me speechless. It is a stunning, mind-bending, supernatural game that shows its brilliance through the weirdness and reality-warping of the world built by Remedy. The creativity here clearly had no shackles since the world, bosses, and narrative were able to go in places that I would've never even fathomed of seeing, which kept me at the edge of my seat. For me this is such a huge upgrade over CONTROL (2019), since it practically does everything better.

An Absolute Masterpiece that left me speechless. It is a stunning, mind-bending, supernatural game that shows its brilliance through the weirdness and reality-warping of the world built by Remedy. The creativity here clearly had no shackles since the world, bosses, and narrative were able to go in places that I would've never even fathomed of seeing, which kept me at the edge of my seat. For me this is such a huge upgrade over CONTROL (2019), since it practically does everything better. Pros: - Game Direction & Innovation: It's a very experimental game that takes huge creative risks to bring a bold experience that has never been done before in gaming. - Art Direction: The reality-warped Manhattan and abstract nature of the game is stunning in the colors, tone, and design it presents. - Gameplay/Combat: The hack and slash melee combat along with the traversal, supernatural abilities, gravity shifting, and aerial grappling gives a fun and unique experience. - Narrative - Performances/Characters - Audio Design - Soundtrack: I like Zoe's Mixtape. - Exploration: It's highly rewarding and gives the player a lot of freedom in terms of where you can go. - Different player builds that are able to be changed at any time. Cons: - Performance & Optimization in some areas. - The first 2-3 hours of the game can feel a bit slow. How I'd describe this game to an outsider: A game that has dmc/prototype/infamous gameplay & combat, with a NYC map, Elden Ring exploration, that is heavily inspired by Inception (Christopher Nolan film) & Backrooms. Recommendation: Overall, I can't really say I'd recommend this to everyone, especially casuals since they'd get really overwhelmed at the kind of game this is. However, if you do have the patience, and you are a gamer that likes bold direction, experimentality, and creativity in their games, you will definitely be surprised by CONTROL Resonant because it is a breath of fresh air. Additionally, for people who have enjoyed and played CONTROL (2019) or any other Remedy games, this is a MUST play.
