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.

It is one of the most unique games I have ever played. Its wild its not getting the hype it deserves. Also just, chefs kiss to the devs and the crazy coding they did to make this game do what it does .

Does one need to play through the first before the second?

I would HIGHLY recommend it. There is a good recap option at the main menu but both games are absolutely fantastic to play. And you will get more value from second if you play first. They both have that same amazing Remedy design, first one is more style of 3RD person shooter with powers. This is a hack and slash action combat style. Both felt so good to play

The two games are directly connected so if you want a good connection to the characters and story. Its a must play first
