Baldur's Gate III
Like Baldur’s Gate III, it frames a spreading otherworldly threat as a struggle for survival; here, the focus shifts from party-based, turn-driven choices to Dylan’s solitary action-RPG journey.

What it’s about — and how it feels
Dylan Faden moves through a warped Manhattan where paranatural forces threaten to unmake reality, fighting to survive without losing his humanity. The action-RPG frame brings supernatural powers into close-range combat, while the city’s distortion gives the journey an uncanny, unstable atmosphere.

Three titles that echo something distinctive in this one, with a quick note on the connection.
Batman: Arkham City
Both games place close-quarters combat inside a hostile urban district crowded with dangers, but Arkham City’s crime-ridden Gotham gives way to a Manhattan warped by paranatural forces.
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 4 also makes hostile spaces and direct combat central to survival; its coordinated enemies and over-the-shoulder gunplay contrast with Control Resonant’s supernatural powers and reality-bent setting.
