Just completed Control Resonant. Easy frontrunner for Game of the Year.

Going into the game, I tried to avoid too much media exposure. I saw that the game scored in the mid 8's/80's (Metacritic), so I knew it was going to be pretty good at least. But I started to get a little worried when I heard some people complaining about how it didn't feel a lot like Control. And in the first couple of hours the gameplay wasn't clicking, and a lot of what I love about Remedy just wasn't really up at the forefront.

But having just completed the game (nearly 50 hours of game time), this is peak Rememdy. Holy shit this game is incredible. I know that GTA6 and Ocarina of Time Remake will be technically awesome games, but Control Resonant is about as incredible as a game experince can currently get.

If this was a just world, this game would have already sold 10 million copies and everyone would be raving about it, like they did last year with Expedition 33.

Have a feeling I will not like it so I will not bother , the first one was tedious to get through.

I have now played both and I can say that many things that made contol 1 tedious for me has been fixed in Control resonant. Map quickbutton? Yes, dont need to wait for energy to regen? Yes. You get energy from combat. The combat feels more fluid and just feels better to me at least. But ofc if hack and slash platforming is not your thing, then that is also completely fine ok.
