It’s been on my ‘one of those days’ list for years now, and with Resonance out, they ran a $6 Steam sale for the original which put it in the impulse buy category. Fast forward a week and I’m out of town for work with some hotel time to kill so hooked my Steamdeck up to the TV and gave it a go and wow… I see what the hype is about.
Any non spoiler tips, tricks, or things I should be on the lookout for?
Read/watch everything. Maybe after dealing with an object of power, there’ll be a slightly redacted memo about it. There’s inner office politics in other memos.
The world building is absolutely amazing if you choose to be patient and read everything you can.
One of the best intros to a video game. Everything is designed as a specific narrative hook that really wants you to draw you in as much as possible. Even if you don’t want to follow all of them, you will be incredibly curious about some of them.
The director pictures at the beginning really got me.
Yeah I’m usually not a lore guy in games but man, this game did it amazingly well.
The piecemeal storytelling is very much like they did ot Horizon Zero Dawn.
I just completed Control Resonate and I was happy to see they kept that level of detail in the sequel.
