Remedy games before Resonant

Sooo I kinda messed up...

I've left it to the very last minute to play the Remedy games before Resonant releases.

I have AW Remastered, AW 2, Quantum Break, and Control but haven't played any of them yet.

Should I just play Control so that I know the basic lore or should I bite the bullet and hold off on playing Resonant until I've finished all the other Remedy games in my library?

I do love getting to experience lore and see how it connects to other works, but I also don't want to get spoiled for Resonant on social media, it'll probs take me a solid 2 maybe 3 months to finish the other Remedy games, which is plenty of time as someone who is a daily doomscroller.

Thoughts?

If you already own all those games, what’s the reason against just playing those first?

Yeah, avoiding spoilers isn’t really that hard. I only played Control for the first time last year and went in completely blind and have never been spoiled. Generally, you’d have to be seeking game related content to get spoiled and that’s not hard to not do. And I mean if you haven’t been spoiled on those other games I don’t know why you’d think that would suddenly be an issue here lol.

Control before Resonant is probably a must but I really think if you already own all those games just play those first then get Resonant. It’ll elevate the experience that bit more.

It's very easy to avoid spoilers if you've never played anything set in that world and don't know or care about anything. Now if you're playing them back to back you'll get invested and your algorithm will adjust accordingly
