Control Resonant, with its return to the Oldest House, the strange headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control, evokes memories of the game Control. However, this time players will control Dylan Faden, his brother, instead of Jesse Faden, who finds himself in an unfamiliar and complex world.
A Different Experience with New Gameplay
After about 40 minutes of gameplay, it became clear that Control Resonant has significantly diverged from the previous gameplay. Dylan Faden, the new character in the game, explores a chaotic and transformed world. This change is evident not only in the story but also in the type of combat. Unlike Control, which focused on Jesse's supernatural abilities, Resonant emphasizes close combat and physical confrontations.
These gameplay changes allow players to engage with quick movements and strategic decision-making against enemies. For veteran players, the importance of movement and positioning is maintained in this version, while newcomers can easily familiarize themselves with the new systems.
Beauty in Chaos
Visually, Control Resonant presents a stunning experience. The game world has been significantly designed using advanced technologies in lighting and animation. The streets and buildings have undergone bizarre geometric transformations, creating images reminiscent of abstract art. This visual representation adds a unique beauty and appeal to the game.
The combat in the game has also changed significantly. One of the first battles with a creature called The Artist in an art gallery affected by Hiss offers a unique and terrifying experience. This creature transforms artworks into a nightmarish entity, turning the gallery into a battlefield.
These designs reflect Remedy's attention to detail and their desire to create a unique experience for players. While Hiss has disrupted New York City, there is beauty in this chaos that provides an engaging and rich experience for players.
Considering all these changes and innovations, Control Resonant seems to have successfully preserved the atmosphere and emotions of the original game Control. The game is set to be released on September 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and is expected to become one of the standout titles of the year.
