My Control Resonant review:
This one's truly special. An open world action RPG by @remedygames (thanks for the early review code about two weeks ago) Currently 30+ hours in on PC.
+ amazing open world design and art direction
+ visual moments that belong in modern art museum
+ very unique atmosphere throughout the game
+ movement system with smoothness and sense of freedom that makes the open world an absolute joy to explore
+ true sense of discovery and exploration
+ no handholding, getting constantly lost in the game in a good way
+ puzzles are both smart and funny at the same time
+ combat is great once you have the right upgrades and it really gets going
+ one of the coolest bosses I've seen in a while
- combat not great when under-leveled character (do side missions, get certain abilities first)
- some bosses are really lacking (tho most are great)
- could have more combat variety/abilities/enemy types
- demanding for hardware
- starts a bit slow
I wasn't expecting much from this game when jumping in right after The Blood of Dawnwalker, Onimusha (which were both awesome in different ways) and Wolverine (story for another day...)
Control Resonant is my game of the year (so far).
Started as an 8, and right now it's at 9.5
(highly recommend trying a controller which has 4 back buttons and mapping jump, dash and both attacks in those buttons. It's a game changer)
So Logitech sent me their latest next gen mouse for review. X3 Superstrike.
- Haptic Inductive Trigger System (HITS)
- more even weight distribution than X2
- lot longer battery life than X2
- other subtle changes
- gonna try it later
- the all black version looks way better!
Remedy gifted this ultra rare Control Resonant custom DualSense controller. Only 8 exist somewhere in the world.

Already finished the game on PC. Might just do a second playthrough on PS5... I never do second playthroughs.

As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.
Thanks to @DawnwalkerGame for the early review code a few days back. Still too soon to give The Blood of Dawnwalker a score but here's some thoughts.
This isn't the type of game I would normally play. Both in terms of gameplay and the tone of story. I find the story a bit ridiculous in a very Polish way I guess. Which is good! It feels refreshing after playing mostly American and Japanese RPGs. Totally different tone here. I like the characters and plot twists.
The missions have been quite basic so far in terms of what you actually need to do. I do like the combat where you need to quickly choose the correct direction (up, down, left, right) to block incoming strike. I can see this getting kinda repetitive if it keeps up like this for another 30 hours... but maybe it won't? The blocking mechanic is fun tho when you get into the rhythm. Bosses take a lot of hits.
Then there's the day/night mechanic. You do human stuff during day and vampire stuff during night. 30 days to rescue your family. The difference between night and day gameplay is a cool twist. Definitely helps with keeping the gameplay fresh.
And graphics. I've been playing on an RTX 5090 and the graphics do look stunning at times. When you walk through that sunny forest with mountains in the background with long draw distance, yeah it looks awesome. But it's not all the time like that. Sometimes it looks a bit basic when you look closer. Compared to let's say Crimson Desert or RDR2. But I like the graphics style and this is more than enough for me for this style of game.
Special mention for the main menu music (epic) and overall atmosphere of the game.
Only scratching the surface with this game so far but it has me hooked. I have a feeling it's going to keep getting better and better. And weirder.

ALT Dear all, We know that many of you have been waiting to hear from us regarding the events of the past week. It would be an understatement to say that having videos of Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time. We are very sorry that everything has taken as long as it has \u2014 from getting the game finished (nearly there!) to sharing more details and official gameplay, and providing the community with everything you want to know. We are very excited for everyone to see the extended look tomorrow. It has taken longer than we wanted to get it ready, but as with everything we do, we know we need to exceed your expectations, and we are determined to deliver at the level you expect and deserve.
I'll probably end up buying it again just for the campaign when it's heavily discounted. Other games do exist.
Would be kinda funny if people kept buying the BO1 & BO2 ports for PS5
and
NOT buying MW4.
then
Activision would be forced to drop DLC 5 for BO1 & BO2 to make up for MW4 & Game Pass losses. Think about it.
