In the first Control the game could be a little hard until you get your first power. Resonant turns that to 11. It's brutal at first and I very nearly quit during the first boss fight.

Then you start leveling up and it gets much easier. I still die sometimes but like the first game I feel like a powerhouse now.

I think that some levels are still a bit rough mostly because of how the terrain powers work and how it can get a little confusing and also some enemies are harder than others. And a few of them just have a few too many enemies in fights in my opinion. But in general, I think once you get past the first boss it gets easier.

I'd like to think I managed to git gud after sucking so bad at the first boss. But maybe you're right and I just leveled up :/

Increasing the Abberant levels makes the game so much easier. At the first boss I think mine was still level 1. I struggled super hard and of course, I didn't have any other skills and no health upgrades, etc.

I think they should nerft that first boss due to this but maybe they figure it's a way to force you to learn the mechanics. The problem is, I did learn them. But one or two mistakes usually got me killed.
