This game makes me feel like a hacker
like a cool hacker
like I’m playing this game and whispering in my hacker voice I’m in
Criticism is also occasionally voiced. (AereGloria) for example, is annoyed by the triste presentation and the frequent time pressure when cracking servers and other systems.
By the way: If you’ve tasted blood after completing the story, you can even create your own campaigns thanks to the official mod tools. This even includes custom music, custom system networks and more. Once your mod campaign is finished, you can share it with other hackers via the Steam Workshop.
