Hacknet

I have been waiting for the game to start, and now that I'm halfway through I've given up. It's boring and pointless. There is no story, there are no choices (even though the game wants you to think there are). That aside, it's not really a hacking game. "Hacking" just means typing the same commands and waiting for them to execute... every time... for every PC in the network. Another big problem is that the game implies that it will use real world logic but then it doesn't. Like I can't execute a file on a PC I'm connected to? Since when? Instructions are never clear and even if they are I hate that the game forces me to only do things how the dev intended. Specifically for advcancing missions, it's never clear whether I just need to read the file or send it or send the password contained in it. All of those should work, not just one! There are bugs - mostly soft locks, which is unacceptable for such a simple game. Instead of spending time on the visualizations for each tool the dev should have spent time designing mechanics around them. For instance the firewall analyzer is okay. Not fun, but it's not completely idle, you have to do something. Each tool has to be like that, there has to be some mini-game associated with it, or there has to be some strategy as to which tools are used in what order. I don't know what the music was like. It was so repeptitve so annoying I turned it off and played Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines OST. The only thing I liked about the game is the environmental storytelling. The chat logs sound EXACTLY like the Old Internet days. Kudos to the author for the research!

Great!

An amazing hacking simulator, not only technically complex in just the right ways, but also provides a world to explore and modify. What really sealed the deal for me was, of my own volition, hacking into an email server and finding a message with an IP address to a random server with the promise of special software, encrypted with the password being the "best Final Fantasy 10 character". After hacking into the random server and downloading the file, I went and looked up actual Final Fantasy X characters, tried their names one by one, and it actually worked AND granted an achievement. The level of freedom you get is absolutely incredible. tl;dr - 9/10 Great simulator with high player freedom

heh. i guess i'm a certified hacker now.

just a smidge too short and a smidge too bare, in my opinion, but the high moments are *astoundingly* high everybody raves on about the game's finale but Project Junebug is a mission i'll remember for the rest of my life

Uno dei migliori giochi in circolazione come simulatori di hacking. Ha delle chicche davvero interessanti e la storia è davvero coinvolgente per essere un gioco quasi esclusivamente testuale. Nel DLC gli eventi sono ancor più coinvolgenti ed includono questioni come l'etica rendendo il tutto molto più reale di quanto in realtà non sia. Aggiunge anche finali multipli!! Il gameplay non è eccessivamente guidato e c'è più di un modo per completare gli obiettivi. Il gioco è per la maggior parte tranquillo ma in alcune sequenze potrebbe coinvolgervi a tal punto da sentire la pressione mentre scrivete i comandi nella shell simulata. Se cercate un gioco immersivo di simulazione informatica e pentesting fa sicuramente al caso vostro! Specie se lo giocate su un solo display in fullscreen. Stavo per dimenticare, la musica pompa un sacco; se potessi darei un premio soltanto per questo!!!
