Control Resonant gameplay preview is 2026’s most-anticipated action game

After playing a few hours of Control Resonant, I’m surprised to learn that the sequel is way more consistent with its predecessor than it looks at a distance. The hero is new, the combat is an entirely different beast, and the twisted Manhattan setting is an eye-popping change from the brutalism of The Oldest House, but don’t worry: It’s still very much Control under the hood, even if it has a lot more supernatural trickery up its sleeve.
