Immersive sim plus
I bought Ctrl, Alt, Ego on Steam because I never thought it would show up here.
Would it have been worth the wait? Absolutely, but it would have been doing my self, and the developer, a disservice by not buying it day one.
Ctrl is a fabulous game and innovates on the "immersive sim" formula. It offers so much choice in how to approach the game world far more than most similar games that came before it. Mindthunk put a lot of work into making his world a living breathing place and put a lot of thought in making every tool at the players disposal count. Offering the player an almost excessive amount of player freedom. If you like System Shock, Arcane's Prey, Thief, Deus Ex, than I think you will love this game.
It was not inspired by them directly but pays tribute none the less. Ctrl stands on it's own two feet, surpassing the games that came before it, with it's unique setting, story, and mechanics. If this game does not blow you away than none will.
