The greatest director the FBC has ever had. Beans!

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

I have been working through s3 of Foundation and Silo and s1 of Widows Bay. I’ve read the Wool books so I vaguely remember where the show adaptation is going; never read Asimov’s books so I was surprised by the Mule twist. And the Brother Darkness gorefest. And Demerzel! Also love this fit

The fact that Dylan Fayden is sad, guilt-ridden, bereft and highly emotional makes him infinitely more interesting than basically every other male protagonist out there right now. There's a whole sidequest about drawing scenes from the life he never got to live and it's great.

I thought the VA did a fantastic job. Dylan is awkward and “off” but it would be weird if he WASN’T. He was locked inside for 24 years!

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Anyway, overall I really enjoyed the game. I’d give it an 8/10. - needs a photo mode - finish up or expand the mold threat - give Dylan a hot dog - let us find Darling and beat him to death with our magic hammer

It was for me, a musical hater, the equivalent of a show springing a musical episode on you. Again, I understand WHY they chose the style; I just didn’t like it.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Like, a very Silent Hill-like entity. Which I don’t recall ever seeing or reading any sort of hints about earlier in the game or in the previous game. I think a better stylistic choice, if they wanted to use this non-standard game style, would be in the charcoal style Dylan used. Visual novel?

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

My biggest “ughhh, oh no” was the “Rebuild” mission at the end of the game. The one that goes into their childhood. While I understand WHY they went with that stylistic choice… I didn’t like it. It felt painfully clunky to play. It also introduced an entity that I was just baffled by?

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Alright, for the stuff I was less enthused about. The taxi quest took you all over Manhattan and dimensions, and then… basically felt unresolved. Did we even get a badge for that? It feels like Mila’s story is either meant to continue in DLC, or they rushed this side quest/didnt finish

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I also think we could use some DLC with the Mold. It’s clearly a problem, on par with the Patterning and the Hiss. So… a big DLC that finally handles this in some way would be cool.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I really liked that we got a civilian NPC in the game! Doctor Florez is great. She’s understandably confused by *gestures broadly* all the shit happening but takes it in stride and focuses first and foremost on her patients. Would love some DLC with her character!

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Sadly I did not see my Finnish janitor buddy Ahti other than in a postcard hinting at his current location. Maybe some DLC? 👀

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I won’t go into ALL of the characters seen or mentioned in the game so as to not go into spoilers. My buddy Langston, the Panopticon supervisor, is in the game and has some fun side quests. The “Fred” quest has a familiar game 1 paranatural being return for more silly adventuring.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Anyway I’m a basic bitch so yes I’m a Dylan/Zoe fan now. Leave me alone

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Most of his dialogue was with Zoe, who I ADORED. She’s smart, funny, and trying to be a handler for likely the most powerful human on earth. Their relationship goes from agent and handler to something deeper over the game, and it’s really sweet. Music to guide him out of the sinkhole? My heart 😭

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Dylan is however endearing. He’s funny. He’s trying his best, dangit! I liked how the dialogue options could be more serious or more silly, more jaded or more hopeful.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Now, the characters! Jesse is one of my all time fav protagonists and I was surprised how quickly I adjusted to playing as Dylan. He’s painfully awkward, he’s terrified of fucking up when he already knows people hate him, he’s anguished by the violence he caused when possessed.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The visualizations used for the Hiss in the first game and here as well as the patterning visuals are really beautiful.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The Underpass area had a very House of Leaves/Resolution/The Endless vibe to it that I really liked and leaned more into the cosmic horror element. The Unknown was another hard to traverse area but good lord it was cool.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The more abstract and fucked up and Inception-y and fractalized Manhattan got, the better. That being said, it certainly made transversal challenging as hell. I didn’t get motion sickness but it was disorienting and confusing. Which makes sense, but is sometimes frustrating.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I’m a range player. Magic spells and arrows and rifles. I don’t like getting up close and personal with enemies. BUT! The Aberrant is a very cool weapon. Honestly, I didn’t really explore all too much with the forms. I just smashed guys with the hammer and set other guys on fire.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Lemme start off by saying I am not a person who plays games FOR the combat. I know I just beat Elden Ring like a month ago, but combat is genuinely purely neutral to me in games. I like stories, the characters interactions, puzzles, and settings. The combat was TOUGH at times; often repetitive.

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Alright! I’ve finished Control Resonant. Lots of thoughts. Overall really enjoyed it. Death Stranding and Control are my two favorite games. I LOVED their sequels, but not with the same devotion as I do the originals. I’ll keep this as spoiler-free as possible!

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Honestly impressed how normal most of these people are after being locked inside their workplace fighting dimension ghosts for 7 years. Would totally understand if their fashion was more unhinged tbh

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It’s probably just a glitch but I like to think this FBC agent just stuck a jaunty little leaf in his helmet for ✨fashion✨

My favorite silly paranatural entity from the first Control game is back!

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Control Resonant continues the sprinkling in of amazing silly dialogue of the first game

Zoe: how did it go?
Dylan: a cartoon man tricked me!

Dylan: And then the cartoon man tricked me into switching places with him and I got stuck inside!

HawkmothMoon @hawkmothmoon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Also for my horror movie nerds, the Underpass area of Control Resonant reminded me a bit of movies like Resolution/The Endless by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead
