Control Resonant Metacritic score places it higher than its predecessor, but it can't touch 2026's top 20 bangers like Resident Evil Requiem and Pokemon Pokopia Control Resonant review scores are out ahead of the mind-bending action RPG sequel's September 24 launch, and it's looking strong – just the way the Oldest House would want it. A double jump, light forms of flight, and an endlessly cool shift ability that lets you latch onto a new axis of gravity make Resonant's world a delight to traverse." Others like Vice were even more bold in their passion; Vice gives Control Resonant a full-fat 10-out-of-10 score, calling combat an "absolute thrill, mixing levitation maneuvers, air dashes, telekinetic powers, and fast-paced melee attacks," which comes "together to create one of the best action RPGs released this year." Still, Control Resonant hasn't been able to infiltrate 2026's top 20 games on Metacritic, since the lowest score on the list is an 87 for 007 First Light. Finally, the indie twin-stick shooter Sektori, which originally came out at the end of 2025, tops Metacritic's Best Games This Year list with a 94 score based on nine reviews about its Nintendo Switch 2 port.
