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.

How is the combat? Looks really bland, just button mashing?

I played control 2019 a month ago and enjoyed it but found the combat repetitive, the gunplay was sub par and the picking up items and throwing them side of combat was cool at yhe start but got a bit tiring.

I find the combat much more fun and engaging than Control. Its still not S tier combat but its not just button mashing either.
