  • gameplay
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics and educational value, particularly for those interested in hacking, with a solid tutorial that helps newcomers familiarize themselves with tools and commands. However, some players note that the gameplay can become repetitive over time, detracting from the initial fun and excitement. Overall, while the game offers a unique experience with a balance of realism and fictional elements, it may lack sufficient variety to maintain long-term interest.

    • “2 hours of gameplay and I'm in the phishing part. The tutorial is also good; if you are new to hacking or want to learn hacking, this game can be a good starting point to familiarize yourself with tools, some CLI commands, and exploits. As it says, it's not a 1:1 method, but the point is there, and besides, Google searching is also part of hacking.”
    • “I absolutely love this game! I spent almost 3 hours just playing it, and it really felt like 10 minutes because of the fun and learning. It's a bit sad that it costs $20 (I'm on a budget), but I'm definitely going to save up for it. The quests are fun too, which makes the gameplay even more enjoyable.”
    • “They seem to strike a solid balance between realism and made-up mechanics.”
    • “The game at the start is extremely fun, however, as other reviews have stated, it does get somewhat repetitive even after only an hour of gameplay.”
    • “Boring and slow gameplay.”
    • “A really good game at first, but the repetitive gameplay destroys the entire atmosphere.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal, with most reviews indicating a primary focus on gameplay rather than narrative development. While some players find the storyline interesting, others note that it feels secondary to the gameplay experience, with a lack of depth and engagement in the missions. Overall, the story is present but not a central element of the game.

    • “Good game, interesting story, good graphics.”
    • “Interesting storyline”
    • “Only gameplay, doesn't include a story.”
    • “There is a story, but most of the game is focused on gameplay.”
    • “This game was kind of fun at first, but it felt like a copy-paste for each mission.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback; while some players praise the beautiful visuals and comfortable gameplay, others note that the high-quality 3D graphics demand significant computer resources, which may not be necessary for a hacking simulator. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point, enhancing the game's appeal despite potential performance concerns.

    • “Good game, interesting story, good graphics.”
    • “Very beautiful graphics and comfortable gameplay.”
    • “Masterpiece plot, graphics, and mechanics make this game easy to play and easy to understand.”
    • “Please add an option to lower the graphics settings.”
    • “Among the good hacking games on Steam, this is one that consumes heavy computer resources just because of the game's 3D graphics, which are insignificant for a hacker simulator.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed feedback; while some players find it overly intense and stressful, especially at the beginning, others appreciate its quality and how it enhances the game's atmosphere. The soundtrack by Karl Casey is particularly praised, with many feeling it adds genuine value to the experience. Players can also disable the loud music if it detracts from their enjoyment.

    • “Soundtrack by Karl Casey alone is worth the purchase.”
    • “Anyway, the setting and the music were cool, and you actually have to use your brain, which makes the game more interesting (at least for me).”
    • “Awesome music!”
    • “The loud music makes the beginning of the game extremely stressful for no reason and just does not stop, but it can be disabled in the game options.”
    • “I love the game, but the music is too intense for it to be just a hacking simulator.”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often describing it as a long and repetitive process that can feel overwhelming. The lack of user interface scaling further exacerbates the experience, making it difficult to engage with the game comfortably.

    • “It can be a bit grindy at times, but it adds to the overall experience.”
    • “While it may feel like a long grind, the rewards make it worthwhile.”
    • “Grinding can be intense, but it really immerses you in the game.”
    • “One long, tedious grind.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Just slow, tedious, and on rails for the start of it so far.”
  • stability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has received mixed feedback, with many users noting a significant number of glitches and bugs that can hinder gameplay. While some find the experience enjoyable despite these issues, others caution against downloading the demo due to its instability and poor performance. Overall, the game's stability appears to be a major concern that may affect the overall experience.

    • “Buggy mess, hopefully the full game is good.”
    • “If I were you, I would not download this demo; it is very buggy and poorly made.”
    • “Buggy, gets stuck at certain steps.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is derived from the quirky names of the tools and the complex steps required to achieve goals, which can be challenging yet rewarding. Players often feel a sense of accomplishment and cleverness upon successfully navigating these humorous obstacles.

    • “The only hard thing about it all is remembering all the many steps you have to take with the funny-named tools to get the desired outcome, but once you achieve whatever you're after, you feel like a genius.”
    • “The humor in the game is brilliantly woven into the dialogue, making even the most mundane tasks feel entertaining.”
    • “I love how the game uses puns and witty remarks to keep the atmosphere light and enjoyable, even during challenging moments.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is initially engaging, allowing players to immerse themselves in a hacker's world; however, repetitive gameplay detracts from this experience. Comparisons to other hacking games like Hacknet highlight a perceived lack of depth in the atmosphere. Overall, while the dark setting is appealing, it struggles to maintain its impact due to gameplay issues.

    • “A really good game at first, but the repetitive gameplay destroys the entire atmosphere.”
    • “Other hacking games like Hacknet manage to build up the atmosphere better.”
    • “Dear reader, in this game you can become that hacker, in that dark atmosphere.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews highlight a strong resistance to microtransactions and loot boxes, with players expressing a desire to combat pay-to-win mechanics. Many view these monetization strategies as detrimental to the gaming experience, advocating for a more fair and balanced approach.

    • “Together, we shall weather the storm of microtransactions and loot boxes, standing tall against the tide of pay-to-win villains like noble knights in a digital crusade.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization initially presents a learning curve, but once players become familiar with it, the performance is smooth and efficient.

    • “It is a little confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it runs smoothly.”
