    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.

    Ctrl Alt Ego is a fantastic puzzle/rpg mashup. It immediately reminded me of the old Infocom game Suspended, as well as the Amiga gameCtrl Alt Ego is a fantastic puzzle/rpg mashup. It immediately reminded me of the old Infocom game Suspended, as well as the Amiga game Captive. As with those games, you basically jump between multiple robots, in multiple locations, to accomplish tasks. You can find various upgrades to your main robot as you progress, by exploring the environments and dealing with enemies. There are usually multiple solutions to the game's obstacles. Ctrl Alt Ego is really well done and hard to categorize because it's so unique among modern games, but I highly recommend giving some time to the lengthy Steam demo. I tried it when it first came out, and uninstalled before really giving the game a chance. I recently tried it again, and after making some effort to learn the mechanics, Ctrl Alt Ego really grew on me. Highly recommended. Expand
