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.

Ever wanted to report a game on Steam for some odd reason or another? Well, now you can!
A "report this product" feature was added today to every game on Steam. Simply click on a little flag icon (to the right of where it says "Share" and "Embed") to get the following report window.
There is really no telling what function this will really have as I doubt many titles will be (nor should be) pulled simply for offending a few people, but I suppose we'll have to wai... -

Hearing enough of this nonsense, Valve's own Gabe Newell decided to set the record straight on what VAC is and is not doing. Here is his Reddit post, reproduced in full.

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?
