Control Resonant Review

The Hot Dog Incident is the least of your worries.

When Remedy Entertainment released the original Control, it redefined how strange and compelling an action game could be. Seven years later, the studio has returned with Control Resonant, which officially launched on September 24, 2026. Stepping away from the claustrophobic, ever-shifting corridors of the Oldest House, the sequel thrusts players directly into the chaotic streets of Manhattan. While it carries forward the brilliant super...

    Steam is Giving Players More Control Over When Updates are Downloaded

    Stick to the schedule or don't.

    A while back, Valve pushed out an update for Steam that made it so game updates wouldn't always download the moment they were pushed live. Instead, they would automatically download on a "schedule" that presumably took into account how often you played the game and when the last time was that you played the game that was just updated. I believe they rolled this whole scheduled download update at some point in the early days of the Covid lockdown...

    Golf With Your Friends 2 was just announced, promising new gameplay mechanics such as weather and even cross-platform multiplayer. This sequel aims to build off of the loosely grounded minigolf fun from the original title.

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
