Control Resonant leads this week’s indie games and events roundup
This week’s indie gaming roundup highlights new releases, upcoming showcases and major events across the scene. It covers Remedy’s Control Resonant, the satirical roguelite Stick It to the Stickman, several regional Steam festivals and opportunities for developers to submit games to Day of the Devs.
Control Resonant stars Dylan Faden instead of Jesse, shifts to an open-world setting and replaces the original’s service weapon with melee combat. Reviews are broadly positive but some criticise repetitive fighting; it costs $60 and is available on PC and current consoles, while Mexican Entertainment System, Serbian Games Week and Day of the Devs submissions all close on September 28.
In short
- Control Resonant offers a bold sequel focused on Dylan and melee combat.
- Indie showcases feature hundreds of games from global developers.
- Developers can submit projects to Day of the Devs until September 28.
Explained simply
Indie games roundups are weekly columns covering developments across independent gaming: new releases, upcoming events and submission opportunities for developers. They serve as a guide for players interested in smaller studio releases and for developers seeking platforms to showcase their work.
Control Resonant is the latest release from Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment. It builds on their earlier game Control but introduces significant changes: a new protagonist, an open-world environment, and melee-based combat instead of the original's ranged weapon focus.
The roundup also highlights submission deadlines for gaming festivals and showcases where independent developers can submit their work. Events like Day of the Devs, Mexican Entertainment System and Serbian Games Week provide opportunities for smaller studios to gain visibility with players and industry professionals.
