Hacknet

I just finished this game, and I had a great time. I've played a few hacker-sim games over the years, and this is the first one I felt like I could dig my teeth into. It wasn't terribly overwhelming in terms of the tutorial or game mechanics like most other hacker games, but most of you hacking involves typing commands into a fake terminal, so you do feel like a movie-style hacker. This is enhanced by a phenomenal soundtrack and a well-designed HUD. I particularly like that programs that you run are added to a window on the HUD that represents your RAM usage, and when you run a program (porthack, SSHcrack, etc) take up the amount of space in the window as how much RAM it's using. Might not make a lot of sense typing it out, but essentially you can visually see how much total RAM you have vs the amount of RAM whatever you're running at any given time. You kind of have to play it to fully get what I mean, but it can add a lot of tension when you're watching a passive trace count down with the next hack command in the terminal just WAITING for the previous hack to complete so you can activate it. The story is also really interesting, and there are lots of little fun things to find in the files of the devices you hack into if you dig around and read txt and IRC files. There's even a functional clicker game you can play! The game is fairly short: a 10-15 hour story, but it's really interesting and fun do dive into. I did have to look up a walkthrough a couple times, but once I read the solution, I realized it was something incredibly obvious that I just missed or forgot to do. I recently started my second playthrough, and I'm excited to find secrets I ignored or missed during my first playthrough. If you want to feel like a 1337 haxorz pr0 this is the game for you. It was made by a handful of people, but is bursting with personality and interesting design. This is probably going to be added to my rotation of games to replay every year. (Seriously tho, check out the IRC Logs. There's some funny ♥♥♥♥ in there)

Что могу сказать об игре: Простой, но от этого не менее интересный сюжет вкупе с не сложными и не перемудрёнными механиками позволяют отлично провести время. Музыка потрясающая. Атмосфера полностью погружает в происходящее. Лично я прошёл её дважды и ни капли не жалею о проведённом времени. НО. Как и у любой игры в ней есть парочка минусов: -Баги которые вряд ли уже пофиксят (чего только стоит Naix, кто знает, тот знает, пришлось с начала игру начинать). -Кривоватый перевод на русский, но суть текстов всё ещё можно уловить. Надеюсь что, автор когда-нибудь решит сделать ещё одну игру в похожей стилистике. В первую очередь порекомендую игру тем, кого увлекает темы хакерства/программирования. Может в игре и не всё реалистично, но основывается она на настоящих принципах информационной безопасности. За сим откланяюсь, ведь осталось удалить последнюю копию ОС и я смотрю на неё..." rm HackNet Forkbomb

мне понравилось по полчаса долбиться в каждую миссию, чтобы в итоге осознать, что решение было простейшим. игра не для тупых. а я как раз из них. 10 rm из 10.

finally. after all these years Ive managed to beat it. Love the style, the music, the gameplay and the little stories that are sprinkled throughout the game. The game always crashed after a few minutes of game time on the MacBook with M1 chip which kinda sucks.

I am sad that I didn't play this sooner What a wonderful game with great characters, dynamics, progression, and gameplay. I was originally scared to play as I have no real experience in coding/infrastructure, but it absolutely is just a game and easy for anybody to play. Genuinely felt like I was still stumbling until [game moment] and I was able to slowly remember little pieces I had learned and worked to restore it. A hard game to convince anyone non-IT to play, for sure... But what a super fun puzzle game for anybody that likes thinking!

I went to Hacknet "to understand how hackers work." I accidentally knocked out the entire building's internet, hacked the school server, and got into a fight with my best friend. 10/10, addictive!
