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.
