Very short, kinda shallow at least coming from having played Uplink, and repetitive, but it does have it's moments. My favorites being when you mess and battle back and forth with another hacker, the honeypot PC that instantly breaks your security, and when you and get invited to a hacking imageboard. I gotta try the DLC.
A fun text adventure with puzzles related to terminal commands. I did an entire distro ricing of my KDE Neon because of the DLC's Desktop Environment. Shame how there'll never be a game like this again unless they release a sequel. Unless I play the side content made by the fans, I doubt it could surpass the original, however.
