Big number go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's a fun game. It can be frustrating but it's definitely right in the dopamine simulator category once you achieve liftoff, so to speak.

It can make or break friendships

It's a hardcore game disguised as a casual game

TL;DR There are much better games out there than this.

I got this game from Humble Bundle and had high hopes since the reviews said they were "Mostly Positive". I have no clue where that rating comes from, because after playing for about 15 minutes and actually looking at the reviews after the fact proved my opinion of it: Mostly Negative.

*MAY BE SOME GAME SPOILERS*

1. As everyone has mentioned, you either need a great memory or something to write on while playing this game, because you can't copy and paste passwords, IP addresses, command prompt commands, urls. You can't copy or paste anything. It kinda ruins the fun when I have to chant an IP address enough to remember it to type it into the command prompt.

2. The help screens are gone when you close them. So, again, better write down any helpful tips!

3. You can't access any windows when A) The window with the other person talking to you is open, or B) When any program is open. So if you're in the email trying to remember to go to http://frogofempires.com, you can't open CUD to type it in. Gotta remember or write that down!

4. Come on. Bill Gates is the millionaire involved with the kidnapped child? Macrosoft? I stopped playing right then and there. I uninstalled it immediately. I found it incredibly disrespectful. Just my personal opinion.

5. Only the necessary parts of the game are translated into English from Russian. Seems a bit lazy to me. If you're going to make an English version, put it all in English. Maybe I'd like to know what the other things on the screen say?

6. They did a nice job making it look a bit like Windows 10, and the programs that open are nice looking. Visually, it isn't bad. But that's the only nice thing.

7. "Hacking" involved mashing any keys you wanted. You couldn't even type out replies like "Yes" in the chat feature. Well, except for having to remember commands. For some reason anything you needed to type out in the programs on the game you could type freely. So, really, anything that required remembering anything.

I definitely wouldn't bother downloading it.
