How does it compare to Uplink in terms of gameplay. Uplink was the best simulation style hacking game that I've played.
wrote last edited by [email protected]The real value of uplink was that it was a game about hacking, it wasn't trying to be realistic it had artificial tension added as well as simplified concepts but added gameplay around that. Almost all of the modern hacking games are much more realistic and capable but also miss what made Uplink the iconic game which is gameplay.
I would love a spiritual successor to Uplink, I would definitely play that, but so far all the hacking games I have seen since have fallen into the trap of realism and programming.

Feedback: that’s a great screen shot. I really enjoyed playing this screenshot. The screenshot download was fast and I was able to run it from my phone.

Agreed. Realism is honestly not needed (although it's cool that we have such games). You need good gameplay and atmosphere and ambience that give you the feeling of being in a different world so to speak.

Well, IRL hacking doesn't have exciting gameplay mechanics. So more realistic hacking game might not be such a clever idea.

It was over a little quickly, I would have liked it to take a little longer to finish.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I have not heard of Uplink (nor Bitburner). But I really recommend you try skynetsimulator.com - I am not affiliated, yadda yadda, it's just a fun, free, online game.
