Putting Control Resonant Under A Microscope Is Rewarding In An Unexpected Way

Putting Control Resonant Under A Microscope Is Rewarding In An Unexpected Way https://ift.tt/BWydxQs Over many years, I've written tens of thousands of words covering the Remedy Connected Universe, the Finnish studio's world tying the Alan Wake and Control series together. This is a team that loves rewarding players who notice the smaller details and go off the golden path in search of morsels of understanding. Connecting dots is often much of the fun in a Remedy game.  To my surprise, that side of the developer wasn't on display much in Control Resonant.

A few seconds into the trailer, Lifeline, Loba, and Mad Maggie can be seen fighting Catalyst, with Lifeline wielding a very odd-looking bladed melee weapon. Many Legends have already received an Heirloom Weapon, and Lifeline is one of them. Some Legends, like Wraith and Revenant, have even gotten a second Heirloom Weapon--but so far, those secondary weapons have always been identical in appearance to the original Heirloom, essentially receiving a new weapon skin rather than a new weapon entirely.
