  • story
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its intriguing and mysterious atmosphere, while others criticize the execution, citing issues like poor translations, broken missions, and overwhelming text delivery. The narrative is described as a scripted experience that struggles to effectively blend simulation and storytelling, leading to frustrating gameplay moments. Despite these flaws, the game offers a sandbox environment that allows for exploration and player-driven narratives, which some players find engaging.

    • “The game itself has a very intriguing plot that you can familiarize yourself with when reading the emails and documentation spread across the quantum network.”
    • “One of the strengths is definitely the atmosphere: the story, as far as I know it so far, is mysterious and interesting.”
    • “It has tons of content and backstory, interesting mechanics, and not always easy puzzles (requires searching, connecting what is relevant, and later also to be able to find out how to use tools).”
    • “The bad story would have been excusable, but the broken English in just about every sentence is just too much.”
    • “The game is a scripted story disguised as a simulation, and it does neither one well.”
    • “The translation to English for most of the missions is really bad.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is described as a mix of engaging mechanics and a relaxed approach to hacking, appealing to players who prefer not to delve into complex scripting languages. While it offers a rich sandbox experience with a strong community and plenty of content, it is still in early access and requires polish and bug fixes to enhance the overall experience. Players appreciate the exploration of mechanics and puzzles, though some elements may feel clumsy or unnecessary.

    • “This level of complexity in this game is just right for my gameplay style. I've tried another hacker game where you pretty much had to learn an entire scripting language just to get by, and come on now, if I'm going to learn a language, I'll learn something like Java or C#. So yeah, for that reason alone, I like the more relaxed approach of World Wide Hack.”
    • “Right now we have a great sandbox to create interesting player-driven gameplay and story, with a decent single-player hacking experience.”
    • “It has tons of content and backstory, interesting mechanics, and not always easy puzzles that require searching, connecting what is relevant, and later figuring out how to use tools.”
    • “A bit of a clumsy clone of Hackmud with extra mechanics that don't really add anything to the game.”
    • “As early access, it needs mainly some polish and bug fixes, and to finish some mechanics and tools to work correctly or just to be used simpler.”
    • “It brings a lot to explore in terms of mechanics, story, tasks, and tools, but the complexity can be overwhelming and detracts from the overall gameplay experience.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a mixed bag; while players appreciate the content, many report significant bugs and glitches that can disrupt gameplay, such as issues with account management and quest progression. Some users find that these problems do not severely hinder their enjoyment, but the game is still in early development, with ongoing work needed to address stability issues, particularly in late-game content.

    • “Very buggy and glitchy, and the game doesn't remember anything. As soon as you log out of a user and back into the user, you have to redo everything. I can't even get past the account confirmation so I can access the network on my own account.”
    • “It can have its moments when you hit a wall and can't figure out how to get through some quests, or how to properly use some programs/exploits. The early stages are just stumbling through running dictionary attacks on the nodes, figuring out what does what. The game is still in its early stages, and some of the late game content, by its own admission, is still being worked on and is slightly buggy.”
    • “It has a good amount of content from what I've played and heard from others, but it is still kind of buggy. The bugs have not impeded my progress/enjoyment of the game.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their originality and distinctiveness, offering a refreshing departure from the typical action-oriented visuals found in many modern games. Reviewers appreciate the overall aesthetic and technical design, contributing to a perfect gaming experience.

    • “I find the graphic style original and it stands out from the ones mentioned above.”
    • “Perfect gaming experience... I really like the overall idea, graphics, and also technical game design.”
    • “The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
    • “The character models are poorly designed and look lifeless.”
    • “The environments are bland and lack detail, making the game feel uninviting.”
