THE FUSE

Control Resonant‘s lead gameplay designer, Sergey Mohov, has written a fascinating essay on the forthcoming sequel’s approach to accessibility options and how they pertain to the game’s difficulty, and it might just be one of the most nuanced discussions of the topic I’ve read. This game is going to let you adjust the finest details of the challenges it throws at you, from enemy projectile speed to the length of a boss fight’s perfect-dodge window, and crucially, move those dials in both directions. But importantly, as Mohov petitions, only after you’ve tried the game as it was intended.
