AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Remedy Entertainment launched Control Resonant, the sequel to 2019’s Control, on the PlayStation Store for PS5. Players control Dylan Faden, Jesse Faden’s brother, in Manhattan to find his sister and battle the Hiss and the Mold. Combat pivots to melee, featuring the shapeshifting Aberrant weapon that transforms into a hammer or dual blades, plus supernatural abilities and environmental tactics. The title includes visual upgrades for PS5 Pro. Two digital editions are offered: Standard at $59.99 and Digital Deluxe at $69.99 with content. Annapurna Pictures co‑finances and co‑produces the game under a partnership with Remedy. Physical copies are pre‑orderable for an October 15 release. PlayStation LifeStyle gave it 7/10, praising art design while noting repetitive combat and a bland open world.
💡 Why It Matters
- · The shift to melee combat redefines Remedy’s signature supernatural gameplay, forcing fans to adapt to a more visceral fighting style.
