Remedy at the top of their game.

I have been a Remedy fan since I watched the comic panel cutscenes and bullet time ballet of Max Payne. With the announcement of Alan Wake, it was as if Remedy were talking directly to me. My love of horror literature and film, mixed with a little David Lynch it was the perfect recipe for a cult hit. Their mixture of mediums came into focus for their Quantum Break last generation, but while the core of the game was quite good, the live action parts not being handled in house could be felt... But then came Control. It took all the lesson learned from their titles leading up till then and melded them into a psychedelic mind bender set in the oldest house which saw the modern technology averse FBC contending with a supernatural virus that should the bureau to its foundation. It was a 3rd person shooter super natural action game, set within the ever shifting walls of the above mentioned oldest house. With easter eggs throughout that foretold of the companies planned expaned universe which culminated with Alan Wake 2. And it's lake house DLC would be the bridge that finally... And fully connected the universe. And that brings us to Control:Resonant. The first thing you should understand is, while this takes place in the same universe... It plays and behaves differently than all of their titles. While the perspective is that of a 3rd person melee action combat game, it is more akin to an open world souls like, than say DMC. While not as obtuse as something like Elden Ring, it's closer in nature to how that story unfolds than a traditional RPG. Oh yeah, this game is an RPG. While the combat will instantly feel familiar to anyone that has played a Capcom game in the last few generations, the way it handles encounters is definetly closer to Elden Ring. If you don't know this going in, it can be frustrating and lead to a lot of dying. But once you understand the game is meant as a slower action experience and you explore ever nook and cranny, those frustrating combat scenarios will become much easier. Leveling is done through both combat and exploration. Off the beaten path side missions will help you prepare for harder enemies and the Resonant bosses sprinkled throughout. But store fronts and other hidden areas will provide additional and sometimes powerful items used for upgrading Dylan. So once you wrap your head around the gameplay flow of Resonant, it becomes an eye opening experience. From it's killer motion capture tech, lighting and insanely cool enemie/world design... There's little like Resonant on the market. It has me excited for where the universe is going next.

From 5 stars to 3

My first week playing this game it gave me that 5 star vibe but deep into the game the constant traversal obstacles makes the game feel BORING to the point you're praying for enemies to appear.

This resonates with me

Rarely have I been so drawn in to a video game world that I find myself daydreaming about being in it or returning to it. This is a ton of fun as a standalone and an incredible sequel to an excellent first game.

PHENOMENAL/ EXTRAORDINARY/OUTSTANDING

My most anticipated game for years after the first one. The fact we got to play as Dylan was even more exciting because he was such a unique character and is officially my favorite in the series. The story, the sound design, the gameplay, the music, and just everything overall is leagues ahead of previous titles and many other games. Remedy only deserves all the praise and wins it can get.
