Plan around the karaoke missable, then finish combat, crafting and exploration requirements without collecting every document.
CONTROL Resonant has 50 PlayStation trophies, including Platinum, and 49 achievements. The main early warning is Be What You Want to Be: save everyone during the karaoke side story. The launch trophy guide identifies it as the missable requirement; most cleanup can continue after the story.
The Party Won't Stop is in the southwestern West Incursion Zone. Complete the karaoke sequence without mistakes to save everyone. If you finish with a failed outcome, IGN advises loading the latest autosave from before completion and trying again. Check that the save is still available immediately, rather than continuing and relying on it later.
Free roam is available after the ending, but enemy power increases. Leaving every optional activity until then may make the cleanup harder than doing some along the way.
| Trophy | Task to plan for |
|---|---|
| Graffiti Artist | Complete the Gap's mural by defeating the Resonants and final boss |
| Versatile Expert | Unlock 30 Talents |
| Paranatural Artisan | Craft 30 Artifacts |
| Panopticon Intern | Complete Langston's Altered Item side-story chain |
| Be What You Want to Be | Save everyone during karaoke |
| Interdimensional Protector | Earn the other PlayStation trophies |
The cited full list provides the individual remaining counters. The Platinum route does not require collecting every document or maximizing every zone, so avoid treating a 100% collectible map as the trophy checklist.
Artifact rewards may be recipes that must be crafted in the Gap before they count as completed equipment. Talents consume Talent Points obtained through zone progression. Keep track of the outstanding requirement before spending resources merely to clear a shop's stock. Outfit unlocks and combat abilities help with two other common cleanup categories.
This is a completion roadmap for the launch-version evidence, not a timed Platinum guarantee. Trophy behavior after later patches should be checked against the linked list and current game build.
