Control Resonant embarrasses me, specifically, with a launch day hotfix negating my main review complaint
Enemy damage sponginess shouldn't be as severe for the rest of you, at least.
Today marks Control Resonant's launch, and as previously reported in our review, it's a beautifully surreal experience. However, the combat system initially left me frustrated due to lengthy battles against heavily armored enemies. This issue seemed to be addressed with a launch day hotfix, which Remedy implemented based on early player feedback.
The patch aimed to reduce enemy health pools, make enemies easier to stun for executions, and improve protagonist Dylan Faden's combat strength early in the game. Remedy believes these changes will enhance gameplay without compromising challenge. While I appreciate the adjustments, I did spend a considerable amount of time during the game's early hours battling foes.
Nonetheless, the hotfix ensures a smoother experience for players, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the game's surreal atmosphere. Control Resonant is now available on Steam.
