It's mystifying that something so free, so open, is the work of two
people, total. I have managed to break it a couple of times, through
some outlandish actions, but the majority of the time I've just been
delighted to find out my cockamamy plan has worked out. It also offers
that most crucial of immersive sim elements: the bit where a great
plan goes to crap, and you're flailing to survive. It's a joy that
Ctrl Alt Ego rarely has me wanting to reload in such moments, but
instead to scramble, to try to improvise my way out of a sudden and
overwhelming jam.
