Another soul weighed down by gravity. I love to think about RPGs and manga. I make shitty edits, because that's how you keep things real. Here’s to hoping for a better world. 30+ / (He/him) / 🇩🇰 www.kalsen.dk

Control Resonant feels like an interquel of sorts. A story inserted in front of the actual story. Ironically, that is the same issue MCU ran into, where everything comes off as a setup to something that isn’t the thing you bought a ticket to .

Finished Control Resonant. I was cautiously optimistic about Resonant, but I don't want to sugar coat it: it's exactly what you'd fear seeing them go (semi) open-world with Control. To me, it's sadly a dud. Game is not bad, but it's not what I want from Remedy. backloggd.com/u/V0KAL/revi...

V0KAL's review of Control Resonant | Backloggd
The most succinct way I can describe Resonant is »Control, but more«. My feelings on the first game is that it was a glass half-full kinda game. It gestured at a bigger scope than it could deliver on....

Okay, you know what nevermind. I’m seeing people complain about having to explore in order to unlock traversal abilities, and that’s imo one of the few cool things the game does.

Kinda crazy lineup considering how many titles must've moved out of GTA's way this year.

Seeing a lot of very definitive takes on Control 2 and idk man I guess I just don't find anything it doe to be particularly noteworthy enough to warrant controversy. Everything is serviceable. If you like it you like it.

Regarding localised vs original manga titles, I find it pretty fascinating. It’s really just a window between two subsets of the western audience. Those that primarily read official releases and the scanlation scene.

The implication that the world of Control is locked into a paranormal cold war by different layers of secret organizations is honestly the most interesting thing I've found in Resonant.

Quick initial thoughts: It's very much Control (but More). If you were hoping for something else, this is probably not for you. They've added a lot of nice stuff to the game, so now it plays like a very nice ARPG with open-ended levels. Besides aesthetics, there isn't anything gripping me so far.

FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still something that amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

if you love something somebody online made, please tell them. I feel like it's said a lot, but people don't let it actually sink in. and please, don't worry about not having much to say. even saying that you enjoyed it means way more than you might think. 🩷

Everyone is happy about the lack of a critical consensus for Control Resonant. Except for me. As a contrarian, I want everyone to agree (but not with me).

I get so confused about the way people apply genre labels. Like 13 Sentinels gets referred to as a VN / RTS hybrid pretty consistently. And I think it's blatantly neither of those?

I hate to admit it, but the hide reposts button is so valuable. I thought it would primarily be to hide art spam, but honestly getting rid of reposts of needless drama-sharing? That’s the real balm for the soul.

People kept raving about 3H and being a #patientgamer, I decided to check it out last year. But fuck me those games have gotten dense. I thought they were “Do a battle on the commute”-type deals, but apparently they’ve turned into Football Manager while I wasn’t looking.

A follow-up to my previous statements and opinions regarding long-running franchises, mostly "not everything needs to be a franchise," you can just, you know, play whatever the new game in a series is and call it good. You don't have to marathon decades worth of a franchise to "catch up"
