Image / Video Fluid & Satisfying combat in Control Resonant

FOV is at 65 instead of default 100 to make it more cinematic, but it makes the game harder (harder to have enemy-awareness, hard to do very quick traversal movement etc). i still do think you should play at like 80 FOV or something compared to 100

I actually really want to play this, but never beat the first one...just sucks because my backlog is MASSIVE, but I know its important to play the first to kind of get the flow of the second.

I will say the gameplay and combat is very different from the first game, and the main menu has a recap video to refresh you on Control's story. It's not the same as experiencing the story naturally in my opinion, but you won't be left in the dark if you start Resonant before finishing the previous game.

You can also kinda just figure out wtf is going on in the story by playing (i don't feel too lost and i didn't watch the recap or play the first game)
