Control Resonant embarrasses me, specifically, with a launch day hotfix negating my main review complaint
PC Gamer’s review criticised Control Resonant’s early combat for making enemies excessively durable while giving protagonist Dylan underpowered basic attacks. A launch-day hotfix has now reduced enemy health and increased Dylan’s combat strength, directly addressing the reviewer’s main complaint and making the criticism look premature.
The article highlights the irony that the problem was changed immediately after publication, rather than disputing the review’s broader assessment. Control Resonant is Remedy’s melee-focused sequel to Control, released on 24 September 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
- Launch-day patch weakens enemies and strengthens Dylan.
- It directly addresses the review’s biggest criticism.
- The timing makes the reviewer’s complaint look outdated.
