The reveal trailer for Control Resonant, the sequel to IGN’s 2019 Game of the Year, made a few things clear right off the bat. First, we wouldn’t be playing as Jesse Faden anymore, but rather her brother, Dylan. Second, we’d no longer be confined to the Brutalist architecture of The Oldest House. Instead, we’d be trying to navigate our way through a Manhattan that had literally folded up on itself, Inception-style, as a result of The Hiss getting out. And third, Dylan isn’t wielding Jesse’s badass transforming Service Weapon, or even one similar to it. Instead, he’s got his own badass transforming weapon: the Aberrant, a massive hammer that brings combat into much closer quarters than before.
Remedy showed off a bit of proper gameplay...
