Provides a unique hacking experience with a custom scripting language allowing for both manual play and automation.
Strong community support and an active, responsive developer who quickly addresses bugs and incorporates player feedback.
Offers substantial gameplay length with around 30 hours on first run and features like workshop support, player-made content, and a built-in IRC chat bridging to community Discord.

Tasks can feel repetitive and sometimes boring, especially with minimal commands required.
May be less approachable for players without programming or command line experience, requiring some learning and patience.
