More on your wavelength
Three titles that echo something distinctive in this one, with a quick note on the connection.
Like Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Control Resonant sends a lone protagonist into a place reshaped by extraordinary forces, pairing combat with exploration; its warped Manhattan and paranatural threat make the mood more surreal than Drake’s pulp island adventure
Both games build an adventure around a dangerous journey and a group facing a larger threat, but Baldur’s Gate III trades Drake’s direct climbing and shooting for turn-based choices, party tactics and role-playing conversations
Batman: Arkham City shares Drake’s blend of traversal, combat and story-led exploration through a hostile landscape; its fortified Gotham district leans into stealth and close-quarters brawling rather than jungle ruins and firefights
