Control Resonant2026

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical at the beginning. A semi-open game world and the change from long-distance to close combat? Does that really work? Oh boy, and how it works! The more time I spent with the game, the more an incredible flow developed. Moving through the game world just feels fantastic. The further you progress in the game, the smoother, faster and more intuitive the whole thing goes away. Even if the story and the entire universe are usually told cryptically, there are always those moments in the story or when learning new skills where you just think: “WTF, what is happening here?” And then the appropriate musical accompaniment. Remedy once again manages to create its own atmosphere. A truly unique gaming experience. I had a lot of fun with the side quests and the numerous smaller puzzles. They not only provide a welcome change, but also motivate you to explore every corner of the game world. There is a small trigger in the B-note for the boss fights. Visually, these make a lot, but playfully I would have wished for a little more variety and demand. As fun as the combat system feels, it often ends up breaking through armor and then executing. Although the use of new abilities can make the fights more efficient, they are not really necessary. With the proven strategy from the start of the game, you can also easily reach the goal.
