Control Resonant review: Remedy turns Manhattan into a paranatural nightmare unlike anything I've seen
Remedy's paranatural sequel is ambitious and visually unique, though it still shares its predecessor's problems in different ways.
Control Resonant proves that sometimes, bigger really is better. This sequel to the original Control game takes a bold approach, ditching the predecessor's open-zone map and opting for a full open-world experience. The story centers around Dylan Faden, Jesse's brother, who was mostly freed from the Hiss's influence in the previous game.
Jesse has gone missing in an alternate Manhattan, and it's up to Dylan to find her. While the story is more emotionally engaging, with a focus on Dylan's relationship with his sister Zoe, it also maintains the same level of narrative depth and character development as the original game. The game's exploration of sci-fi and occult tropes is particularly noteworthy, with innovative time dilation and alternate timeline mechanics adding emotional satisfaction to the overall experience.
The game's art direction and traversal mechanics also make it a joy to explore its twisted version of Manhattan.
