Manhattan’s Sprawl Blunts Control Resonant’s Weirdness
A review of Control Resonant suggests the sequel trades the claustrophobic dread of the original Control for a sprawling Manhattan setting, which comes at a cost to its distinctive weirdness. While more ambitious and action-RPG-focused, the game suffers from narrative sprawl, repetitive tasks, and combat that hasn't significantly improved, though moments of cosmic horror and unique mechanics in the Underpass are praised.
