The game I always play to test gaming headsets is getting a sequel — here’s why Control is the best test for bass, treble and spatial audio

I'm blessed and privileged to have a few loves in my life. There's my partner who I wouldn't change a thing about. My family and family dog who I'm thousands of miles away from and miss every day. And then there's gaming. I've loved gaming for as long as I can remember, and I'm one of the lucky few who get to incorporate their love for something into their job.

As a reviews writer, I test the best gaming headsets, which gives me an excuse to skip social obligations and stay home to play my favorite games. It's for work, am I right? Over the years, I've curated a selection of video games I always play to test gaming cans. New titles get added to that list as and when they come out (if I like them, of course) — but there's one game I never skip, and its sequel is finally dropping in September.
