Ctrl Alt Ego has treated me to one of the most open-ended experiences I've ever had among any immersive sim I've played. It's criminal how relatively unknown this game is and I strongly recommend it if you are a fan of the genre.

I've played and enjoyed the recent Deus Ex games, Dishonored, and Prey (2017) and when I started playing Ctrl Alt Ego, and I was absolutely floored with the amount of different ways I could approach a problem. The sheer amount of solutions to a problem can be credited to the mechanic that sets Ctrl Alt Ego apart from other im-sim's; you can posess and take control of various objects in the environment. You can control a wide array of elements in the environment such as BUG's, PUP's, DAD's, MUM's, trip mines, cameras, doors, elevators, etc. each with their own unique set of functions and limitations. These objects are relatively simple to understand on their own but when you start to use them to play off of one another, you will begin to realize there are nearly limitless ways to approach a problem. This open-ended gameplay lends itself really well to multiple playthroughs.

I think this game is better geared for instrically motivated players over extrinsically motivated players. The narrative isn't as engaging as the imm-sim games I mentioned earlier. I think this could be improved with a stronger narrative hook in the beginning portion of the game. If you are reading the computer logs/META pages of certain objects you control in the early levels, you can get the sense something weird happened on the space station and this is really cool but I kind of wish there was more beyond some environmental hints.


I also want to give credit to MindThunk for being a really active developer. I purchased the game months after it was launched and it was still getting bug fixes, new features, and just a few days ago a new content update with the sandbox mode. I also think it's very nice how active he is on various forums answering any questions players have or trying to learn more about technical issues they encounter.

One of the most satisfying shooter games I've played in years. It feels like Bullets Per Minute with a bigger budget, honestly. Highly recommend you at least try the free demo if you have even the slightest interest in the game.

I initially watched the anime based of this game nearly a decade ago and had the urge watch it again recently. Instead I decided to play the actual game and I found it really enjoyable. The anime didn't included all the content you can experience in the game so there's still plenty of surprises around the corner.

If you aren't familiar with the story at all, the anime is a must-watch and the game is a must-play; can't go wrong with whatever you chose first!

big feet, big problems.

I'm pleasantly surprised with this game! I went in completely blind because I won this game in a giveaway a few months ago and finally got around to playing it.

My favorite thing about this game is the balance of creepy mystery and humor. I usually veer away from horror games just because they make me way too anxious but the (really funny) absurd writing strewn throughout the story was really good. I was also very impressed with the consequences seemingly mundane choices ended up being. Really good replayabiity as well. I've done two of the big endings but honestly I might go back and replay it again because I know there's stuff I missed.

If this is were on sale, I'd say it's a must buy.

The curse of Lizardmen DLC strikes again! Here's to hoping for a LM rework in the next game.

This was a very interesting experience. I really like the format where we are digging through a phone to solve a mystery and you can get really into it. I think the writing and acting could be improved in future games though.

The human acting, I know it's meant to emphasize certain things so the player knows which way to go but man it was too over the top and hard to take seriously. It definitely pulls you out of the immersion you would've been feeling otherwise cause like, no one, even out-of-touch influencers acts like these people do. There's something to be said for how they are not particularly nice characters either. Like I really do not want to help these people at all, they are all pretty terrible people. If there was something to sympathize with why they are terrible in the first place then maybe it'd help but as it is right now, you're gonna have a tough time justifying helping any of them.

SPOILERS BELOW

The whole supernatural enemy being discussed so matter-of-factly by Detective Murillo really ruined any horror elements this game would've had. It was really cool when I first saw the case file for Maya and it glitched out, but the minute he said "oh yea we're dealing with this creature!" it ruined any suspense from the unknown and kinda made it tacky. Really would've rathered some big surprise reveal at the end (akin to Doki Doki Literature Club) than what we got here.

ik it's like 2021 but this ♥♥♥♥ was definitely overhyped. the setting is really cool, arguably as cool as rapture, but gameplay wise this game is worse than the previous entries.

Furry clocks, lady!

Really great, casual fun. Would love to see more platforming minigames though.
