Control Resonant Has a Secret Weapon in the GOTY Race

Control Resonant received several nominations, including Game of the Year, in 2019, with its predecessor Control winning Best Art Direction. According to Polygon, Control had a Metacritic rating of 82. In 2023, Alan Wake 2, presumably another game by the same developer, won several awards, including Game Direction and Narrative.

Rock Paper Shotgun reports that on the same day Control Resonant launched, a hotfix was released to address complaints about the game's combat. The developer, Remedy, outlined plans for future updates, including a New Game++ mode and a photo mode.

Remedy explained that after completing the main story, players can continue playing, completing side quests, discovering World Feats, or starting a New Game+ run. An update will add New Game++, allowing players to start multiple NG+ runs without erasing progress, as reported by Rock Paper Shotgun.
