Control Resonant releasing on 2026-09-24.
I saw the Resonant gameplay yesterday and I'm devastated. Looks like they made the sequel a souls like at first glance. I love the gunplay in the original.
What makes you say it's a Soulslike? It looks way more like a CAG (Character Action Game) to me.
The dodging looked like it might be. Could be you're right tho. Wouldn't be as bad as a souls like. I hate corpse runs, they're just a waste of time. I still would have preferred to shoot at stuff.
Not everything with a dodge button is a Soulslike, third-person action games existed before Dark Souls and will continue to exist in parallel to the Soulslike genre even though the latter has become a little too popular nowadays. From what I can see Control Resonant looks to take most of its inspiration from CAGs like Devil May Cry, God of War, Ninja Gaiden etc. Fast, fluid combos, aerial combos and launches, weapon switching etc.
I've been replaying it recently, still really fun. I'm unsure about the sequel, such a shame.
Same price on PS5 as well. I played it on PS4 back in 2020 and loved it, but was miffed about no upgrade path to the PS5 version when it came out. Finally got it at this price and have been enjoying replaying it!
Everyone will say this game was great for many reasons but I want to add I love how they had added many setting options in this game to tune the difficulty. Like changing how much the bullet will swerve with auto aim. So dont be afraid to try it because it may look hard.
Personally I just like to fly around and throw concrete at targets.
Great game and the dlc bundled is excellent to boot
