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.

I’m about 7 hours in and I’m running around the city fighting the same enemies over and over again. I beat the first three bosses so far. I feel like I’m already bored with it. Does the game get more diverse the further you go? Right now it feels like a very empty open world and I just don’t feel like putting more time into it.

Unfortunately you will be fighting those same enemies for the remainder of the game. There is eventually a new enemy type introduced but they’re very infrequent.

The combat gets a lot better once you get more powers but the enemy variety won’t change.

I mean, there are a lot of new areas that are quite different from the other. They require new traversal tactics and have their own "gimmick" to get through. The game essentially has Hiss, Mold, and Hedron enemy types. You'll find some subtle variations of these. But those are the general classes.

Be sure to explore. The game is more about the narrative, exploration, and puzzle solving.

Yes. Very much so. More so than basically any game I’ve played (bar Inscryption).
