Digital ChumpsSteven McGeheeAug 20158.8/10The premise of Hacknet and my preexisting interest in the idea of a UNIX-based hacking sim had me going into this excited and hopeful. The quality gameplay and sense of reward from figuring things out kept me playing hours on end, and excited to tell others how cool of a game this was. Check it out.

GameSpewDavid HaughtonAug 20157/10. . .a complicated visual prompt will pop up on the interface and lets you feel much more involved when in reality you're just waiting for a progress bar to finish

NZGamerBen WilsonAug 20157.2/10By and large it is much of the same thing for ten hours, and that's the irony of Hacknet; doing repeatedly something you've probably never done before. Play it because it's different, play it because it's a far cry from anything you're likely to in the coming months.
