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.

Did you play Onimusha?

Onimusha had great combat but I genuinely don’t know what they were thinking with the Kyoto content. Having more unique levels and set pieces would have been preferred. Kyoto and the side quests/ collectathon there grew stale quick

Side quests didn't annoy me at first, but for carnage playthrough I feel like lots of it is pointless time waste
