"Control Resonant": An ambitious sequel that fails to convince
Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment releases the highly anticipated sequel to "Control," which won best action game of 2019, but falls short of matching the original's intensity.
Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment, known for developing "Max Payne" and "Alan Wake," has unveiled "Control Resonant," according to Le Monde. The game was billed as the studio's most ambitious title to date, the newspaper reports.
According to Le Monde, this fast-paced action game features a city with stunning perspectives. The first installment, "Control," released in 2019, had been hailed as the best action game of the year, the publication notes.
Despite this legacy, Le Monde indicates that "Control Resonant" only shines intermittently. The title struggles to recapture the same intensity as its predecessor, according to the newspaper's analysis.
Le Monde does not elaborate further, in the excerpt reviewed, on the specific gameplay or story elements that explain this mixed reception. The publication's full review offers a thorough assessment of the game.
