What players say
Players say Hacknet makes command-line hacking feel accessible and cool, with a strong soundtrack and rewarding story. Many agree it's not a deep puzzle game, and some find the netmap UI frustrating. Mac users report frequent crashes, and a few note the plot feels rushed toward the end.
