Control Resonant review: A superbly strange action-RPG that makes you feel tiny and godly at once

Rock Paper Shotgun's James Archer reviews Control Resonant, finding that the sequel's switch to Dylan Faden, a kaleidoscopic open-world Manhattan, and melee action-RPG combat pays off. Fights revolve around the shapeshifting Aberrant's forms and combos, with status effects enabling stance-break builds that make combat more aggressive than the original's. Progression is tied to Manhattan sub-areas that reset and toughen after their boss falls, and the reviewer notes Steam Deck performance falls short of its promised support alongside bugs such as music cutouts and enemies stuck on scenery.
