I give Cyber Manhunt a middle B. It's a fun investigation game that is similar to Orwell and Analogue: A Hate Story where you piece together the plot by using "hacking," or really Hollywood-style hacking in between social engineering. The gameplay suffers a bit for its loop, in which the majority of your time is spent looking through in-game social media logs of your subjects. That's a fun premise, but the game proceeds by having you click on relevant lines of text. When you hover your cursor over lines you can "collect" to add to your case file, the lines turn red, but otherwise there is no indication which bits are relevant. There are many times early on I just missed the lines in question, and so I spent the last few chapter meticulously mousing over EVERYTHING so I didn't miss anything, but I STILL missed things. It was a little frustrating and I had to use a guide a couple times to find what I had overlooked, even though I read everything. More frustrating than that though are the mini-games. Usually when doing something more intense than reading, you're playing a mini-game to hack a system or reason out a situation. For the most part these mini-games aren't difficult and I appreciate the variety. However, in later chapters the mini-games start getting time limits, and some of these are unnecessarily harsh. A particular hacking mini-game in Chapter 5 nearly made me rage quit, and even with a video tutorial from YouTube, I was really struggling to get past it. Maybe I'm just a slow reader, but I think it's just less-than-good game design. The developer seemed to understand those criticisms too because in the Home Sweet Home DLC there aren't any time limits, and in Hello World there is only one mini-game with a time limit that's incredibly generous. Also in the DLCs, the mini-games can be straight up skipped. I wish that had been in the base game. Luckily, all mini-games and gameplay loop tedium are absolutely overshadowed by the excellent story. All seven chapters (DLC included) had great twists and turns. All the cases are connected in subtle ways, and almost no one ended up how they began. All the characters were complex, and the writers absolutely nailed social media posts, including strangers of all genders uncomfortably randomly hitting on strangers in their own feeds. And what starts off as a "simple" matter of investigation eventually spirals into sci-fi and metaphysical questions. I loved it. The English translation is unfortunately wonky, and there are typos or "just doesn't sound right" issues in just about every other sentence. There's also some polish issues where the voice acting doesn't quite match up with what's on the screen, like the script changed after the line were recorded. Even so, the translation is good enough that you can follow what's going on and there's nothing more egregious than mixing up pronouns. But man, if the story had been run through a native English speaker/writer before being released, this would have been an incredible story. The music is awesome as well, and really sets the mood, but the story really caries the game. I'm excited to try the sequel now, though I'm hoping the gameplay loop for Cyber Manhunt 2 is less tedious.

The game is an absolute masterpiece. It allowed me to step into the world of hacking, where I had to use my skills to bypass security systems, solve puzzles, and uncover information. The game-play was challenging and engaging, and I found myself immersed in the virtual world of cyber espionage. Highly recommended. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Haven't completed the game yet, but I really like it. It's similar to Orwell, you investigate some incidents by analyzing data and gathering info for profiles of people related to incindents to eventually solve the case.

I really enjoy the game play of Cyber Manhunt BUT I would have really liked to know about the themes of the game before playing. I know it mentioned *dark web* but I wasn't expecting so much violence. Every time I think we reached the worse, it keeps going worse and worse. Don't get me wrong: i do enjoy dark themes at times and I played to dark games before but I always knew what to expect. That is my only issue with the game so far.

Cyber Manhunt, made by Aluba Studios, throws you into a world that is seriously challenging. This game is for the gamers who love a tough test. Story is not just about the corporate intrigue; it's a sinister journey into the digital abyss, human wickedness and immorality. The puzzles are hard, really making you think and act fast, and even if you're used to playing games, this one might keep you on the edge of your seat. It's a tough journey that demands your attention and skill. The music fits the cool vibe, but the sounds will keep you on your toes. They add to the pressure, making the game as intense as the tests you'll face. I wish there had been more investment in proper translations and voice acting. However, I find the content engaging enough to overlook these shortcomings. If you're into collecting achievements like I am, start with the free DLC called "A Company Man of Titan" before jumping into the main story of Cyber Manhunt. This DLC is like a practice round – it helps you get the hang of the puzzles and strategies without giving away any spoilers. By getting a handle on the puzzles in the DLC first, you can save yourself from having to replay parts of the game over and over. To sum it up, Cyber Manhunt is not just a game; it's a hard adventure for those who love a challenge. Aluba Studios made something awesome and tough. If you're ready for it, get ready for a wild ride into the digital world.
