I do not buy many games at launch; but Control left such an impression on me that I just felt compelled to buy this.

I didn't play Control when it came out. I played it years after. I am actually glad I waited to play it because I would have felt like I waited even longer for the sequel.

The differences between Control and Resonant are quite vast; but overall I feel that a lot of the same atmosphere and energy carried over. I was hesitant about it not following Jesse like the first game, and was worried that it wasn't going to be as good. However I am 10ish hours into Resonant, and I am loving it.

I guess I will see how I feel after I beat it.
