I can literally only play this game when I am high. If I am sober the game is too British and it makes me uncomfortable.

I have just finished chapter 4 out of 8, and I think I might be tapping out, but I think the game is ultimately not to blame, it might just not be for me. One of my favorite games was Murdered: Soul Suspect, and I saw the gameplay loop of being an ego without a body as being somewhat similar to the loop of possessing people in order to complete tasks. However, while that game featured occasional out-of-body moments, this game runs on that as the sole feature, which might just not be for me. Something about the level design and upgrades also bumped for me. Instead of being a fun adventure, where each upgrade provided new options or strategies, each change was so minute that it never mattered. Gaining the ability to train ego off of hostile bots from a distance seems like a game-changer, until you realize it drains juice at such a rate that you can use this once or twice at best before you are drained, at which point it will cost 3 times what you just absorbed in order to refill the juice meter enough to use it again. I did go through each level to get every worm and memory chip, and in the end, it did not make me appreciate level design more. This is not an instance where I got to the end of the level and realized that I could have used stealth to go through a fully different way, or explored a whole new area. Anyway, I realize this reads like a bad review; someone put a lot of effort into this game, it has a lot of detail in the thoughts of the bots you are inhabiting, and the pads you find. The art design of the game is much better than I expected every time I saw the logo. I am marking it as a good review because I can think of people this game might be for, I am just not one of them.

I agree with other reviewers that the game overstays it's welcome. I got bored of the primary possession mechanics. I also think the Immersive Sim has been boiled down and deconstructed too far, into something that only an academic could enjoy. Too much overthinking reduced it into a puzzle game. Because there is very spartan set dressing to the level's obstacles, the solutions your tools provide become obvious. Not that much room for deception and trickery. Nevertheless, the game has dork charm even if the art and writing and music isn't captivating. I did enjoy the beginning of the game. The developer/s still support it in 2024 and they are clearly passionate about it.

This game is what happens when you strip down the classic immersive sims to their core and build a game purely around that. The quintessential immersive sim.

Being a huge fan of the type of games now called "immersive sim", (since the days of Thief and System Shock 2 and even going back to Ultima Underworld), I got to say I am really glad I found Ctrl Alt Ego . While I wouldn't directly compare this game to any other in the genre, I will say that it definitely belongs to it. Sure, it's not a looker (though visuals do have consistent style, and that is sometimes more important) and sure, it has some problems with physics sometimes (some can be tuned with options), but... well, I really felt like the game world provided multitude of ways to approach given situation or a problem AND without if feeling like a token feature -- included there just because some design document or executive said it's got to be! And that's what really sold me on it. All in all -- very strong recommendation on that one, especially if gameplay and refreshing takes on a genre are more important to you than polygon count and fancy filters! ;)
