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...

    The Callisto Protocol Canceled in One Major Region

    Striking Distance would rather cancel the release than make the required changes.

    If you have seen anything concerning The Callisto Protocol over these past several months, you know that it's going to be a very gory and very violent game. The problem with games being too gory is that they sometimes won't pass regional ratings boards in various parts of the world.

    That is precisely what happened in Japan. The country's Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO) took...

    Warner Bros. accidentally removed the anti-tamper protection from their game for a time.

    For a brief moment in time, it almost appeared as though Warner Bros. did the PC gaming community a solid when they removed Denuvo anti-tamper from Gotham Knights. The controversial DRM has long been thorn in the sides of those looking to play games on PC. It aims to prevent, or at least slow the availability of, cracked versions of new releases, but it has often been found to be the source of...

  • 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...
    I did not complete any game in 2025
    33.33%

    I completed up to 10 games
