The game also received Universal Acclaim status among Metacritic users. At the same time, the source notes a significant difference between player and professional critic ratings, but there is no evidence that critics deliberately lowered scores.
Separately, the unusual reaction of a part of the pirate community is noted: some of its representatives urge those who can afford it to buy Control: Resonant to support Remedy. There is also no data on the scale of this phenomenon.
For Remedy, success on Steam is especially important: Control: Resonant significantly surpassed the original Control in peak online players. The first part reached approximately 9100 concurrent players, while the new game crossed the 40 thousand mark.
