I am you and you are me; we're all just the universe experiencing itself.

Everything.

Ready or not, ironically, launched in the not ready state. The AI is complete trash at the moment and I honestly don't see a reason for anyone to play this game until they fix it. They should have stayed in early access for a few more months at the very least in order to get their suspect AI in half decent shape before pushing the game out as 1.0 but I guess this is just the trend these days...

Good old minimum viable product strategy.

Indie tower defence & rts lite game that is a lot of fun and the price is also right.

A fun puzzle game that is quite the trip.

It's a fun, well made Borderlands-esque roguelike FPS. If that sounds fun to you then you will like this game. It is tons of fun playing co-op! Basically, a more fun version of Gunfire Reborn as the combat is a bit faster paced which I like better.

Definitely worth the asking price and I highly recommend you play it through with a buddy or two.

Great tower defence game! Worth the six bucks I spent on it for sure. If you like Bloons TD you'll definitely like this one. The only downside is that I wish there was more of it! I would gladly pay for a DLC with more tower variety. Not that there isn't good variety already but I want more.

The OG game is so damn good I didn't even think about not buying this.

If you enjoy science fiction, 6 DOF gameplay, a good story, rewarding exploration, and a solid mystery to unravel then this game is for you. Don't look up anything about it as going in totally dark is the way to go to.

This game is so damn good.

A hidden gem that truly stands out from the abundance of indie games. Ctrl Alt Ego is an immersive sim that stands on its own feet through a primary game mechanic I have not seen before which makes it feel fun, and original. If you like to play games your way where there are multiple ways of going about achieving the task set out for you then this should be right up your alley. This is one of the very few games that I can say you can play your own way. I was astounded at how many ways I could go about most of the tasks in this game. It is full of very smart wit and maintains a charm throughout that few games are able to offer. The whole game is just a breath of fresh air and it was great to play through something with substantial character the whole way through. The dev is very competent at writing and crafting an interesting game world. This game also has immense replay-ability due to how many skills and upgrades are available. You could do a few runs through the main game with completely different builds which would change the play style considerably. My only regret is that I didn't do my first play through on hard - that was a mistake as it was bit too easy which made me lazy when it came to strategy as guns blazing was an easy option.

This game is fantastic and worth every penny at full price.

Update: The developer has added an entire new chapter for free! I think this one of the very few games that I'm going to buy the OST just to give the developer a little extra money. I can't believe that such a huge add-on was done through a no extra charge update rather than as a paid DLC. Honestly, I would have paid for the DLC and been happy about it as I'm pretty sure this is a solo dev project and they deserve our money because they've truly made something special.
