Fast-Paced combat, fluid movements, deep RPG system & Open-World exploration
Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming sequel title, Control Resonant, is already getting quite high praise from fans and some reviews.
Some of the selected media outlets and journalists got a hands-on preview of the game and the early impressions are looking pretty solid. Let’s check out more details in this article.
A very fast start to action
The pacing of the game was the most praised thing about this demo. Instead of slowly introducing the mechanics, Control Resonant will provide players access to most of the abilities within 30 minutes of the game.
Towards the beginning of the game, players can choose from three primary weapons before entering the city area. This is going to serve as a combat tutorial.
Additional weapons in the game can be unlocked later on. This will allow the players to experiment with different playstyles throughout the campaign.
There is also a central hub area, which will let the players upgrade their equipment, purchase skills, modify abilities and customize their loadout.

Control Resonant combat is smooth and satisfying
There is no doubt that combat seems to be the biggest strength of this game. The early impression has described the combat as fluid, responsive, and highly enjoyable.
Players will also be able to control the firearm with supernatural abilities, which will include:
- Telekinetic rock throws
- Ground-pound attacks
- Defensive shields made from debris
- Additional unlockable powers
Character progression is also going to be deeper, which will provide players with different build options and customization paths.

Exploration
Movement is also noted as the standout feature from the early hands-on impression. Traversing in this game feels fast, fluid and rewarding.
The reviewers have compared this system with the InFAMOUS series, mainly due to freedom of movement and vertical exploration.
You will be able to jump, float and navigate environments with far better mobility than the previous title.
Overall, Control Resonant is looking pretty amazing and it is launching on September 24, 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.
