8,5/10
Game Informer Sep 24, 2026
Despite fumbles with its new melee combat and difficulty balancing, Control Resonant's storytelling, world, and bizarre quests kept me eager to explore its distorted New York.
9/10

Control Resonant is one of the most visually refreshing games we’ve ever played. Remedy has crafted a more expansive and grand experience than its predecessor, focusing on thoughtfully designed levels and a presentation that’s unmatched. Manhattan proves to be a perfect setting to build a paranormal, physics-defying adventure, and it helps that the side quests are more about telling compelling stories...
