To echo what others have said: this is not an immersive sim.

While it does have that unprecedented level of freedom in how to solve your problems, the game is, fundamentally, a puzzle game. There really isn't much of an outside world to be "immersed" in, just a series of open-ended puzzles. Calling this an im-sim does sort of misunderstand or undersell what that genre is. So how does it play as a puzzle game? Well, your mileage may vary - the aggregate rating clearly suggests plenty of people enjoyed the game, but for me it wore thin fairly quickly, and I think it still would have even if my expectations were more in line with the actual content of the game.

The main mechanic here is that you project your consciousness into various electronic devices and control them to accomplish your tasks and/or get to the next area. This costs a resource called Ego, which you collect in the overworld as orbs, and also by hopping into certain things. For things that require physical intervention, you have a companion robot, but he is entirely replaceable, able to be destroyed and rebuilt at will at any 3D printer.

Sound cool? Sometimes it is! There's a level where you can complete everything but the final room (I think) by body-hopping through bots, tablets, doors, etc. until you've successfully bypassed all threats and can reprint your physical host in front of the final door. Amazing feeling. But a lot of the time you get case B, where you can hop around a lot, but mostly meet up with (often-initially-unhackable) turret robots who vaporize you in seconds, and even if you hide in another body they become "suspicious" the moment you do nearly anything at all.

The game elects to be very stingy not only Ego, but also on Disks and Worms - ability unlocks and upgrades, respectively. One of them is a short-range teleport like Shift from Dishonored - though again, not an immersive sim. So you're liable to find yourself starved for Ego and also underequipped to solve problems in other ways, which is a truly stifling feeling you'll run into sooner or later.

You've heard the good and bad, but there's also Ugly - even simple tasks like operating a lift require projecting yourself into the lift itself, activating the lift, then projecting back into wherever you want to actually be. If this sounds asinine, it most certainly is; you'll likely be sick of it in a couple hours. You have to body-hop to so much as save the game. The devotion to the mechanic goes a little too far at times. And the sound... the infernal whining sound that plays as you swap bodies, sometimes across long distances. It's a pity I ultimately bounced off this game, but at least I'll never have to hear that tone again.

I tried this game on the basis that many people recommended it because it is apparently such a good immersive sim. However this is not the case its more like a clunky restrictive puzzle game that has some immersive sim elements glued on to it. The story didnt entice me to go further its just boring and unfunny.
