I asked Control Resonant's gameplay designer all my burning questions — how the combat's 'melee focus' differs from the original, and why you 'haven't played anything exactly like' what you'll see in its 30-hour length
After all, we've endured a long wait since 2019's Control introduced us to the Lynchian world of the red-hued Hiss and the Federal Bureau of Control.The good news is that the wait is nearly over — because Resonant arrives in less than two months. And the really good news is that it looks great; so great, in fact, that we gave it one of our Best of Summer Games Fest awards.So, what will the sequel bring to the table to stand out from its predecessor in a notable way? Those were joined by various powers, some of which allowed players to levitate or hurl objects at enemies.
