Wishing @remedygames.com all the best with the launch of Control Resonant! We’ve been having an absolute blast playing it, the game feels incredible and plays wonderfully. Congratulations on the launch to the team from us!❤️

With each game, Remedy tries to challenge themselves and raise the bar. Really makes me wonder what they have in store for the Max Payne remakes. Must be extraordinary to be able to “redo” these with current tech. More cinematic realism, advancements in animation.. can’t wait!

Control Resonant is only the second game Remedy has self-published, and one backed by some seriously ambitious marketing efforts. That takes hard work, months of planning, trust from the higher-ups, and a team willing to bet on its own vision. Remedy deserves a lot of credit.

A huge thank you to @remedygames.com for providing me with a review copy of Control: Resonant, for the support over the years, and for this incredible opportunity. I’m genuinely excited to dive in, experience the game for myself, and discover where this universe takes us next. ❤️

The GTA 6 Extended Look is absolutely mind-blowing. You can clearly see Max Payne 3’s DNA in Rockstar’s animation, movement and gunplay, evolved and refined to another level. Very happy to see them building on what made Max Payne 3 so damn good

Max Payne turns 25. A quarter-century of pain, bullets and bad nights. With the remakes lurking in the shadows, this anniversary feels like the perfect time for a little tease. What do you say, @rockstargames.com ? 😏

Personal update: our baby girl is expected any day now! What do you think we’ll call her? Mona? Saga? Alice? Jesse? Beth? Michelle? So many names to chose from!😅 I’ve been behind on the news lately, but I’m trying to catch up. For now, focused our biggest launch yet 👶.

Quantum Break is ten years old today! It’s one of my favorite games and even to this day holds up pretty well. I remember I looked behind every nook and cranny for easter eggs. Boy, did we get some good ones #return

Been diving into Firebreak all week Gameplay feels smooth and engaging! 🔥 That said, the limited level variety makes the game feel stale. By the time your gear’s fully unlocked, you’ve pretty much seen it all. Would love to see more variety in future updates. Solid FPS though!!
