Overview
- Major reviews published Friday found Control Resonant to be visually distinctive, with a warped Manhattan and standout boss set pieces that many critics called the game’s best features.
- The sequel is set seven years after Control and centers on Dylan Faden as the Hiss break containment and spill into New York, a narrative choice reviewers say assumes prior series knowledge.
- Remedy replaced the Service Weapon with the Aberrant, a transformable melee weapon, and several outlets praised its variety while warning fights can feel repetitive, enemies overly durable, and progression restrictive.
- Early aggregates sit in the mid‑80s on Metacritic and OpenCritic, and reviewers reported strong current‑gen performance—noting especially stable PS5 Pro performance in review builds.
- Control Resonant launches digitally on September 24, 2026 with physical editions on October 15, 2026, and critics say the game’s bold genre shift raises both awards hopes and questions about player accessibility and pacing.
