Although Management Resonant is a direct sequel to Management, in some ways it looks like a continuation of concepts established in Quantum Break, the darkish sheep of Treatment Video games. Launched in 2016, Quantum Break punctuated its third-person motion gameplay with a full season of live-action TV (together with stars Shawn Ashmore, Aiden Gillen, and the late Lance Reddick). Whereas fundamental character Jack Joyce primarily runs and weapons, lots of his powers — together with the protect, blast, and rush talents — really feel like they’d match naturally into the toolkit of Resonant protagonist Dylan Faden. Each video games necessitate zipping round battlefields to outlive. And whereas there are after all narrative and tonal distinctions (Resonant is matter-of-factly a extra unsettling sport, borderline horror at instances), once you’re within the thick of a combat, the connective tissue emerges. Very Treatment, if you concentrate on it. —Ari Notis

Okay, hear me out. As an ill-fated live-service shooter that struggled to get off the bottom in 2025, FBC: Firebreak is a uncommon misfire for Treatment. It was the studio attempting to dip right into a pattern that clearly wasn’t in its wheelhouse, and that left gamers with a shallow co-op shooter that’s not receiving updates. All that mentioned, it is nonetheless an ideal little bit of world-building that can solely enable you to admire Management Resonant extra. FBC: Firebreak places you within the sneakers of the Joe Schmoes of the Treatment universe: the paper-pushers and cleaners contained in the FBC. That perspective not solely places you right into a goofy workplace comedy the place sticky notice monsters roam free, nevertheless it additionally helps clarify why shit hit the fan as unhealthy because it did in The Oldest Home. It paints the FBC as a madhouse, run by individuals who merely weren’t competent sufficient to take care of the forces they had been messing with. Do not count on a lot out of it as a multiplayer sport with restricted depth, nevertheless it is likely to be the perfect one to revisit in mild of Resonant simply to know precisely why the Manhattan state of affairs received so uncontrolled underneath the FBC’s watch.
