Verified answer
Is Control Resonant still a third-person shooter?
Quick answer
No, not in the same sense as the first Control. Resonant is designed around melee combat with Aberrant, supported by Dylan’s paranatural Instinct abilities.
What this means
Ranged or thrown effects may still appear within the supernatural toolkit, but official material describes a melee-led action RPG. Guides should therefore focus on spacing, form switching, movement, and build synergy rather than assuming a gun-first loop.
