I came away from my two-hour hands-on with the upcoming Control Resonant frustrated. Not because I wasn’t suitably impressed with what I’d just played, but rather because the already torturous wait until its September 24 release date is now going to feel extra long.
With this sequel to 2019’s Control, Remedy Entertainment has done what all good sequels should and found a balance between the familiar and fresh. The story, tone, and atmosphere are unmistakably Control, but the Finnish developer has taken some big combat swings and also expanded the scope of the universe. And that’s before diving into the new face on the box; this time you’re playing as Dylan Faden, brother of Control’s Jesse.
