CONTROL Resonant

Its blend of Aberrant shapeshifting weapon, melee-focused combat and supernatural traversal makes CONTROL Resonant an action-adventure game with a clear mechanical focus on equipment progression, creating a distinct balance of timing, resources and positioning. Players follow Dylan Faden, whose development gives the campaign a clear perspective.
Repeated encounters are varied through equipment progression, character progression and mission structure, without displacing the mechanics that define the main genre. Reference work for the title can combine reviews, story structure and characterisation, including how the role of character progression affects difficulty or pacing.
