July 2024

I wrote a python script to convert a specific video(!) to text files then copied the contents of the text files into the game, then used the game's scripting language and coded a program that could play the video from those text files into the terminal(with full colors), compiled it all into a single file program and uploaded it as a hack tool just to Rick Roll whoever decides to download and run it. 10/10

The review will be entirely about the Single Player aspect of the game. I have little to no interest in the PVP Multiplayer side of the game. While the depth is somewhat limited and the quests can get repetitive from time to time, the procedural features in the game will still throw you curve balls in what you think will be a straight forward and easy job. My favorite and possibly most frustrating part of the game is the Code Editor. If you have any coding experience I really do suggest you at the very least modify the exploits you buy in the shop. Typically you'll find they can do way more than what they say they do if you modify the code properly. Don't be afraid of throwing away quests. Because of the procedural nature of the game, you may run into a situation where a lack of exploits and limited target options makes it harder than it's worth. If so, delete the email and move on. Cons are that it's tutorial is very basic. I feel this game is designed for you to learn through a process of fail, try work around, fail again, beat computer with hammer, fail again, look up help online, continue to fail, then finally figure it out usually by total accident or because enough time has passed in game for the procedural generation to generate a new exploit you can purchase that does the thing you need. There is a lot of documentation out there for the scripting language that is totally free which is a huge plus. Also, there are communities of people out there that you can join and ask for help. Just be aware that some members of the community who are really active on the PVP side will try to make learning harder as they don't want to help you hack them. I've run into more people willing to help than those not willing. I will continue to grind away the hours at this game because I love solving the logic puzzles it puts forth in it's quests. Figuring out how to break in to more and more computers and not get caught. The game is decently feature rich in it's current state, but if the road-map the developer put out comes to be, this will be a stellar hacking game. One suggestion for new players. If you start a new Single Player game, get all the basic setup stuff done. Then browse the Exploit shop. Look for Remote Shells that have very few, if not, no dependencies. If you can find one good Remote Shell for each exploit type then you'll have a slightly easier time learning the game. If you find you see a lot of dependencies then I would suggest Deleting the World and starting a new game. TL:DR If you like hacking games you'll probably enjoy this game. This game does very little, and eventually no, hand holding or solution highlighting. You can modify exploits or write new ones in game with the in game code compiler. Lots of free online script documentation. Don't be afraid to etch-a-sketch the SP world you are in to try and generate a more favorable early game. Don't worry, it'll get harder later on when your exploits stop working. Highly recommended. Frustratingly fun. IYKYK.

This game is so realistic that you might actually get SWAT-ed if you're too good at it. Jokes aside though, Terminal is clunky as hell, "." still doesn't point to local directory, all I want is to uninstall desktop, delete user account to permanently be logging into root: Just please reallocate some of the effort that's going into a crypto-simulation into making the OS a little more bearable. The rest of the game is literally perfect though 10/10

This game is not for beginners! That being said. . . I recommend this game to beginners. There is basically no tutorial and if you want to succeed in this game, you need to watch Youtube videos about not only this game, but IT and infosec. In 13 hours I finally completed the first mission after the tutorial. It was a level 0, firewalled computer with no open ports. . . 0.0 So, I learned. In summation, in order to enjoy this game, you need to learn on your own about programming/IT/Networks/Infosec and it would really help to join a community. Also, if you're interested in infosec but don't wanna spend money? This -> [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1812820/Bitburner/]Bitburner(link) or picoCTF
