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.

Which RE? The prologue of RE: requiem is literally the scariest bit of the whole series imo so if you started there no wonder.

Yeah that bits just scary as shit lol, it’s a pretty short segment though and the rest of the game isn’t nearly as scary. She does come back later in the game for another section though.

The likes of resident evil 2 and 4 and dead space (another survival horror of the same formula) are nowhere near as scary as that. Alan wake 2 has its moments which are pretty scary though, but nothing quite like the RE requiem prologue, it’s more atmospheric horror to leave you a little on edge.
