I would be shocked if Remedy don’t have plans for a Control 3, but that feels like such a weird call considering it took them 7 years to make one sequel and the studio is constantly on the brink of running out of money.

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 .

wind is the archetypal 'cutting' element though it's way more sharp than fire

Fire being sharp instead of Wind is how you can tell this was cooked up in a primitive society.

I'll go out on a limb and say that there aren't any big reveals or stuff to build on from there. It reaffirms story beats hinted at in Control, but nothing new is added to the mix. I'll say that with the caveat that I haven't scoured the post-game or anything.

010

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 01/10/2026

I didn't touch on the writing in the review, so I'll just add that I liked Dylan's narrative. Resonant is weirdly much more introspective than the scope might suggest. It's really a character study (and a well written one imo). But it doesn't expand on the RCU or whatever.

110

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 01/10/2026

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....

Aren’t they in basically all the official materials nowadays? Like this was four years ago:

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

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.

010

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

I genuinely don’t understand. You wrote that progression is “gated by a side quest but it's one you aren't even told about”. But the game explicitly tells you to find Jesse in order to progress the main story AND it’s marked in your log as “Main Story”. So is the lack of a map marker the issue?

000

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

I’m not sure I understand your issue then? Are you annoyed by a lack of clarity on how to progress or that progression is gated behind exploring the world?

100

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

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

020

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

If this wasn't a Remedy game, I'm not sure it would actually generate any discussion at all. Most interesting thing is whether you are disappointed or satisfied.

010

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

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.

120

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

I understand not liking the game gating progression behind exploration, but I think it's a bit unfair to say they aren't upfront about it. It's listed right there as a Main Story objective in your quest log and you get a tutorial pop-up explaining how it works.

100

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

Uh, they are? There’s a quest log for finding all the Faults? They give the location of the first for free iirc and the rest you have to discover for yourself. But the game pretty explicitly prompts you to look for them, along with finding the Resonants

100

vkalsen @kalsen.dk · 30/09/2026

Not sure if you missed it, but there’s a tutorial pop-up in the beginning that straight-up tells you that those sidequests give you traversal abilities.

I clearly underestimated my Swedish cousins, who are apparently way better at being pan-scandic than I am.

oh this is not just an Portuguese thing My go to example in Danish is Big Trouble in Little China, which was localized as "Who does the Chinese jump for?" And before you ask, no, it doesn't make any more sense in Danish.
