Critic Reviews for Control Resonant
Control Resonant is a more action-RPG oriented follow-up to Control, but in leaving the Oldest House it also leaves behind some of what gave the original its magic.
Even when combat's sharp edge eventually dulls, Control Resonant is a great addition to the Remedyverse. While its story follows a more standard framework, its gravitational pull is in the inventive world built around it and the humanization that grounds the paranatural intrigue.
A welcome return to Remedy's magnificent hellscapes-with too many hours of middling combat.
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.
Plumbing the depths of a high-rise makes as little sense as it sounds but is an absolutely stunning sequence.
Control Resonant is Remedy’s take on a semi-open-world character-action game, and that might sound like an experience you’ve had before, but at the transdimensional intersection of its impeccable combat design and the studio’s signature strangeness stands something unforgettably unique.
Control Resonant is a beautifully messy sequel and a testament to Remedy’s ability to make something weird as hell.
Remedy approaches Control drastically differently, and it works to its benefit.
