Anonymous Hacker Simulator

If you're wanting a free-form hacking simulator, this is *not* the game for you. I went into this game expecting a simulator. What I got was a mostly linear story with some minor branches. Every mission is a set puzzle but basically tells you what to do to hack the target. If you want to deploy a honeypot on Ronald Grump's computer, you certainly can but it won't do anything. If you want to try hacking into other systems, you can certainly try but nothing will happen until you're on the mission for it. If you want to look up someone on Tweeter, you can certainly try but you won't find a result for *every* name that comes up in the game. Only the ones that a mission will tell you to look up. This isn't a simulator. It's a hand-holding follow-the-instructions game that any middle schooler could play. I'm only 4 or 5 missions in and I've already made enough to buy all the tools and exploits except for hping. What's the point of progression if it feels this hollow? Why can't we be rewarded for exploring the "internet", taking initiative, and doing things outside the mission like a virtual free-roam? Don't waste your time on this game. Even getting it on sale was a waste of money.

This game is a nonsense. If Uplink used *nix systems navigation and same logic for executing utils, here is in this game just some kind fantasy from movies about hackers in 90s. Simple example: To hack some remote server the game says - use nmap. Ok, I go to a terminal and write nmap <and ip here>. Game says, no, I don't this command. And here is already a problem, is it me trying to use it wrong or I don't have something. Ok, I'm trying to see what the game have else, ok I find somekind hacking store. Here is somekind networking and here is nmap util for purchasing. Great! I purchased nmap, a default network util on the most popular OS in the real world. What now? Is it already on my laptop or I need to download and install it? Trying again nmap <requiring ip> - it work! Nmap says that there is an open FTP port 20. How to hack it? Going again to that store and see FTP_Attack... Ok, sounds like it is what I need. Purchase. Trying to run it in terminal - no way. What is wrong this time? There is also help. Somehow I'm finding that some utils need to run by the command use. Why nmap is running directly and this exploit tool by use - this the magic of this game, that's it. Again t…

Great game, not as scary as Welcome to the game but I liked that, not being on the edge all the time gave me time to explore properly. Recommended!
