A FEW ANSWERS
The essentials for a first visit, and a direct route back to the guide you need.
Is CONTROL Resonant a sequel?
Yes. Remedy describes it as a sequel to Control and a new entry point into this world. The story follows Dylan Faden in a transformed Manhattan. Read Remedy’s introduction ↗
Do I need to play Control first?
The original game adds context to Jesse, Dylan and the FBC. Remedy also presents Resonant as a new entry point, so you can begin here and use the walkthrough to find your route. Official introduction ↗
Is it single-player or multiplayer?
CONTROL Resonant is a single-player game. The official Steam listing identifies it as single-player; plan your journey as a solo adventure.
Who do you play as?
You play as Dylan Faden, Jesse’s brother. His journey takes him through Manhattan as he searches for Jesse and faces a paranatural crisis. See the official game description for the premise.
What is the Aberrant?
The Aberrant is Dylan’s shapeshifting melee weapon, with forms such as a hammer and blades described in the official game overview. Use the weapon guide to choose a complementary pair and the abilities guide to build around it.
Where should I start if I am stuck?
For one specific objective, open the question list. For a missing story step, check the walkthrough and your Quest Log. A blocked route may need an ability unlock; repeated combat trouble is a reason to review your Build Power.
