Other games like this?

[Spider]

So i dont want to anger the developers or fans of this game (i love this game myself) but are there other games like this? I played Uplink before but thats all. I know there are some games comming out like "Need to Know" but are there other already released games like this?

Hacker Evolution (also sorry to the devs, no disrespect intended). I didn't like Duality as much as the original. The expansions for the original were great. I bought Hacknet blindly because of how much it resembled Hacker Evolution. Hacknet has a bit more substance to it.

Hacknet has definitely hit the sweet spot when it comes to hacking games. It has managed to combine all of the good bits from other hacking games into one IMO. If Uplink was to have a 2.0 This is it. But sure, there are other hacking games out there. And some F2P browser based hacking sims out there that are multiplayer. Its all a matter of taste really.

i know about a old obscure but free hacking mmo, if anyone is interested go look up codelinkV2 it's like a spiritual successor to uplink. there is no paid content at all. the servers are still churning away and running the game.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I guess ill play some of the games until the DLC arrives. Are there any details about the DLC? Did the Dev post anything about user made scenarios?

Hacknet is probably my favorite game of this kind, and when it gets online and mod support, it will reach new heights of awesomeness.

But it's kinda short right now, especially if you get the hang of it. So if you're done, make sure to check the older Hacker Evolution games as it's already mentioned. H.E. Duality disappointed me too with its "minigames and strict timing" direction. H.E. Immersion, the next part of the series, seems to be going back to the right path. Only time will tell, but it seems promising.

Oh, and make sure to check MU Complex, it has a demo too. A slightly different experience, but certainly a must see if you're into this type of games.

Mainlining looks like it will be too casual. Theres also Disrupt which is nice visually but it seems like the dev hasn't updated in a while. Mu Complex is more like a puzzle game, it didn't grab me though. There is another game called Hacker 2089 I think, doesn't look like its making much progress. Deeplinks is another one. They're all pretty different despite all being about hacking. Hacknet seems more like an RPG, Mu Complex is a puzzle game, Hacker Evolution a puzzle game.. Need To Know seems like it will be too casual.

Hacknet is definitely the coolest of them all though ;)

What about Street Hacker?

So I've tried a game called 'Hack Run' today. Did I like it? Short answer; well, no. Long answer; it's a type-'em-up, okay? It's not a hacking game, it's a puzzle-ish game with the most minimalistic graphics I've seen in any videogame ever. And then it's not even a puzzle game, mostly since it relies on a combination of trial-and-error and the assumption that the player thinks live the dev. Hence why I was stuck on leven seven trying to figure out my target's last name. Had anybody told me the username was only the first name I would've refunded five minutes earlier. But no.

Five bucks for this... whatever it is? No thanks. If you want a hacking-themed type-'em-up where the usernames make zero sense, get this game. If you want a hacking GAME, I suggest you move on. And I think I'm going to copy-paste this as my review now.
