Super impressive that one guy made the game, its really cool. I liked the single player experience, it teaches you the basics on network safety. One BIG DOWN SIDE is, its buggy. Not super buggy, but buggy where it really changes the fairness of the game. I probably won't play it again because of that. Renaming the log file and exiting should still show connection closed, otherwise it defeats the game's purpose. In pvp people abuse this bug to hack others and its untraceable. The game repeatedly tells you that you cant delete the logs and get away with it, so this is not a feature and is a bug that wasn't fixed. The game is like alchemy where everyone learns the game by themselves but doesn't share with others on any kind of wiki, So new players eat dirt while players who know the game just exploit the bugs in the game and hunt new players like hungry rats. Maybe its not for me. Overall, really impressive but honestly quite toxic in pvp because of the these few simple things. Will play again if it gets fixed. Until then, it was a good experience.
Very good game to learn and have fun. Grey Hack is a hacking simulation game that sits on a sandbox persistent world with almost unlimited IPs to connect. Some IPs can be from players (in the persistent mmo mode). Where everything you do, as far I know, persist and affects both the NPCs and the players that may someday want to connect to that IP. The tutorial could be a bit more guided but it is good. It is basically like "here are the tools, here is the documentation, now figure out how to do this". If you enjoy problem solving and have some coding knowledge, you are gonna love this. The community is nice but also there is online PvP (for the multiplayer mode) so trust no one by default haha. Always cover your traces and protect yourself before doing anything. I never expose my self, but with this said, players have been kind to me and helpful overall in the game chat. I highly recommend you at least know the fundamentals of coding, as that logic will help you navigate and move in this game. Otherwise it may be overwhelming for a complete beginner. So basically to sum up, I recommend this game. I love challenges and I am having a blast haha. PD: You must know that you can lose all your progress in multiplayer if you get hacked by other players or traced by the authorities. I haven't been neither traced or hacked yet by other players yet because I am careful. If it ever happens I know it will be frustrating, but I will try to treat it as a learning experience. Thanks for reading!
After Playing this game for a short while and completing the Tutorial and finishing my first job removing a Police Record. I can only say this is the Best hacking sim i've played so far. Yeah you kinda get thrown in there, but i got to say you don't get completeley stuck. The Commands are slimmed down, the nmap in the game does not have nearly as many Parameters as the real one, wouldn't mind if it had, but this makes it way more beginner friendly. To be fair, i got some experience in Unix, servers, ssh and so on since i work in that field. There are minor inconveniences like being unable to use CTRL+C and CTRL+V in the FileExplorer or i had the problem that i didn't find the SCP command but later saw it in the /bin. So i didn't search it right in the Manual. I would love to continue to play the game today but i got work tomorrow. I will definitely update my Reviewer Later on. But as of now, i can say buy the Game if you aren't afraid of reading. Step one is always information gathering.
I went into this game with zero knowledge about Linux. The tutorial is rather short, but there is a whole Manual to read (with a search function) that helps you figure out what to do next. The game is quite interesting and I still have lots of things to learn. Edit: Ok, this game is awesome awesome <3 It really helped me understand how Linux works and how to improve security and how amazingly cool it is to work with the OS to automate stuff for you the way you want it! The community is also very helpful.
This game is by far the most realistic hacking game I have ever played. You can even write your own software to automate tasks and make your hacking workflow much more efficient. However, not everything can be automated through code. For example, you can’t automatically send social-engineering emails, nor can you open or close router ports via scripts. These actions always have to be performed manually through the browser or email client. I assume this limitation exists for multiplayer balance reasons. Speaking of multiplayer, the Discord community is friendly and very helpful. There are some third-party tools available that can assist with hacking, but especially in the beginning, I would recommend relying on your own toolkit to really learn how the game works. If you enjoy coding but don’t like using the in-game code editor, you can use the greybel-vs plugin for Visual Studio Code instead. Debugging is also possible, but limited, so you often have to rely on print statements to inspect variable values. You can enjoy this game with or without coding, but it is not easy - it’s a continuous puzzle and problem-solving experience. For Early Access, this game is pretty mature. Of curse, there is potentail for better quality of life - especially while clicking on UI elements and copy-pasting text.
