With Control being one of my favourite games ever and third person shooters being my favourite genre, I was worried Remedy wouldn’t be able to reach the same heights for me with their melee focused sequel. I was wrong to ever doubt them: the combat is extremely satisfying, the level design is genuinely mind boggling, the characters are amazingly realised with great character arcs, and the writing is as weird and fascinating as ever. If you’re on the fence about trying Control Resonant or any Remedy game, please give them a shot, they are one of the last remaining truly innovative studios and need the financial succes to remain independent in order to deliver masterpieces like this without having their creativity diluted by shareholders who only care about games as a product, maximising profits by appealing to the masses.
