Bitburner

The tutorial assumes the player have a basic understanding of programming that I simply don't have. I can't even understand the script I copied and pasted during the tutorial. I think with an optional, more in-depth tutorial, laymen could be more empowered to keep playing.

Best Idlegame I have seen so far. I love automation and this game lets me automate everything. Also very good to learn a bit of coding/scripting. And last but not least: even with my Playtime (~1800h) I still find new stuff to do like all the minigames in Bitburner are just nice. You can play a go like a game in there, manage your own Gang and Corporation, can trade stocks, hack servers in the Darknet and so much more. As one might have already guessed I love this game ^^

Pretty fun game for nerds. I'd suggest it for anybody who wants to learn coding fast. 13yo btw.

Great game for geeks who are simultaneously stubborn hard-working and lazy at once, enjoying reworking via balanced prestige mechanic and hidden plot :D

Игра заставила добровольно писать код. 10/10.

A very addictive idle automation game. The the game allows, encourages and basically requires you to automate almost the entire game using JavaScript/TypeScript, to the best of your ability. Up to you to decide how to go about it. There are many systems, and many hours of grinding to do. The good part is that while the idle part happens there's always something else to do. Write a script, adjust a script when it inevitably needs it, optimize, explore new systems, make plans. This is definitely a niche and a novelty, but I am enjoying it. And it's free.

I remember picking up this game for the first time when I was in a tough time in my life. A game related to hacking which revolves around coding was too good to back out. Should I mention it has a black green terminal. But yeah I didn't understand what I was doing and it wasn't very intuitive and so I dropped it. A few days back I saw the game again and thought why not give it another try and boy was it worth it. The main difference was I just ended up using scripts from the Getting Started docs and following the guide. I initially didn't because I thought I was really smart and wanted to do it by myself, but the great thing about the Getting Started guide is that it helps you reach a certain point where you can go all out by yourself. I really like that about the guide. But what makes is such a cool game is the Dark Net, oh boy is that amazing. Creating your own hacks to crack the password and watching all the nodes turn green is such a nice feeling. And you just get so much money all of a sudden. Such a huge dopamine boost. The beauty is that this is just an idle game, but with you writing scripts, having to run them, upgrade ram and run more scripts, makes it so involved that it doesnt even feel like an idle game. So yes, really love the game, glad I gave it a second try.
