This is an hacking simulator/'ARG' just released into Early Access (with very frequent updates). I have everything from this dev (except soundtracks and the network admin dlc) and I've been watching this game for a long time. To be honest, I feel like I should love it more than I actually do, but I do like it. I think part of that - being a game that is technically very good, but doesn't inspire emotional passion - is that it's realistic, which makes it kind of emotionally unfriendly. It makes me feel uneasy about the ethics of what it asks you to do sometimes (but hey, you have a job to do) and bewildered at 'what is this world we live in now'. By which I mean, on every mission (and also in Discord discussions), they link to real world technologies, and it kind of astonishes and terrifies me.

This is the sequel to the free-to-play We Were Here, and is basically more of the same thing. It's an asymmetrical co-op game where you need to communicate with your partner (who is in a different part of the castle) to work through simple puzzles and escape.

This isn't the sort of game I usually play, but it's by the devs of FTL, so it went on my wishlist. I won it on SteamGifts on Christmas and blazed right through it. The squads are all very different. My favorite squads were the Hazardous Mechs (high damage + self damage), Frozen Titans (freezing), and Rusting Hulks (cloud disrupt/dot). I had the most trouble by far with the Steel Judokas (enemy manipulation), where I barely won on my last bit of power. Might go back in more this month to try out the secret squad and see if I can get the two other secret pilots.
