Wooooo~Hacking game. :D Since I'm studying Computer Science right now, it's right up my alley. x3

The interfaces and visuals are super cool! It's pretty wise of them to not make it all console commands only, which makes more people able to enjoy it. Also with the nodes for easier connection, I don't have to keep a notepad open and have to alt-tab every time I find a new IP to connect to, which is nice. The in-game note taking up RAM is also a really nice touch! It forces you to either actually learn and remember things(unlike some games where it's just follow the instructions blindly) or write important things out of the game, which in turn strengthens your memory on them. I felt like playing through the whole game is a learning experience.

I did get stuck in quite a few parts and had to look up a guide tho. I have no idea if it's just me not being good enough or something. I'd say I'm decent at it, but maybe sometimes I miss out on some hints. Also, Naix is freaking annoying. Like, because I want to get the last achievement(the /el community one), I had to restart the game 4 times because if you ever even replied to Entropy's mail(even just the "must be punished" quest mail) you are auto-locked out of the /el route, which is uber annoying, cuz I thought the original quest mail doesn't count. And also, my main save file didn't get one of Naix's mail, so I have to play again to get the rude achievement. A bit nit picky cuz it's all optional, but eh, still annoyed me a little. Which is why the score is 7.5. Should've been 8.5 if I didn't have those troubles.

Oh, I total forgot about a really interesting plus point for this game. Although the main big character Bit hasn't appear like, at all through out the game. At the end, when Bit spoke, I actually got a bit emotion, which is really surprising for me, since I, like, don't know him at all aside from the starting tutorial. So yeah, that's nice. :3

Well, my games with daily stuff are Dead by Daylight, Overwatch, Warframe. I also play Clicker Heroes and Tap Adventure Time Travel, so you can kinda see how that eats up my time. lol Also, school is getting really busy. Nonetheless, I still managed to finish this one. Dunno if I should start a new game or finish Borderlands. I’m about 1/3 to half of the way through the game, but it can get a bit repetitive playing alone. Also have to get back to Evoland 2, Stardew Valley and Slime Rancher, since I have them there for a long time now, but never got back to them. Arg, too much stuff to play. xD

Hacknet is one of the better hacking games that I’ve played, as you said the UI was pretty well done and the story and mechanics were alright

Arg, too much stuff to play.

So many games, so little time.
Plus there’s a lot of school stuff in the way. >~<
