Not many games force you to reflect upon your choices in your real life and give you cause to wonder the possibilities if maybe one made different choice whether such choices would affect one's character.Īlter Ego fills me with nostalgia because the gaming industry back in the 80s was full of creativity. The vignettes were well-written, contained drama, humour and pathos in equal measure. it is extremely hard, if not impossible, to live one's life as an utter bum. I found it utterly compelling and quite thought provoking, even though it was quite linear and 'coerced' you into certain actions i.e. I want this game to succeed, but I don’t see it doing so if it’s this repetitive.Īs for the positives, the intercut dream scenes are lovable, even if they’re few and far between.I remember this game when it was first released as it was one of the games from my C64 days that I never played and always wished to play.įast foward almost 20 years later, and after using a C64 emulator (*cough*), I finally had the chance to play Alter Ego. On the other hand, if it remains as it has been so far, it’ll feel like the £6.99 or whatnot really wasn’t worth it as the game would be about 80% filler content of a tapping simulator (not the good kind like the original game).
If it’s too soon and there’s not as much of this reading as it seems, then i’m sorry and i’m sure i’ll find out soon (as I intend to play some more). I do like the art style and I loved the original Alter Ego, buying this game primarily to see Es’ side of the story and to support the developers for the great experience I had. Then there was a decent mini-game and now it’s back to the same reading thing again. I’ll admit, i’ve only played around 20 minutes so far, but the intro involved three books, each of which took around 5 minutes, but they were extremely repetitive.
