Story
The story follows Dylan Faden, a supernaturally-abled parautilitarian who first appeared as a supporting character in the original Control. Released from captivity by the Federal Bureau of Control, Dylan is sent into a paranaturally-altered downtown Manhattan to help contain an escaped extradimensional entity while searching for his estranged sister Jesse.
A Genre Shift
Unlike the first Control, a third-person shooter, Resonant is an action role-playing game built around melee combat. The signature weapon is the Aberrant, which shapeshifts into a variety of armaments. Remedy has publicly clarified that despite the melee focus, Control Resonant is not a Soulslike and does not use a parry mechanic.
Not Open World
Control Resonant is not open-world, but it is Remedy's most expansive game to date. The design is 'large open-ended' with multiple distinct locations rather than a single continuous map.
