I'm a professional programmer with reasonable experience of low-level programming and I love this game. It finds a balance where it is easy enough for the kids to learn how a computer really works in an entertaining way and still challenging enough for me to complete all the optimizations and get full marks. The setting and corporate humor is also nice. There are minor things I don't like, for example you can SUB a character and a number without issues, but if you then try to ADD to get back the original value it fails with a message about mixing data types, but no game is perfect. I've tested it on Windows and Mac and both work without problems.
I really enjoyed this game. The atmosphere is great with satirical company slogans and humoristic dialogues. Skills are frequently used in dialogues and for getting things done. The game mechanics work reasonably well. I would have liked a more in-depth manual and more control over the hechmen, but then nothing is ever perfect. There are some boring quests in the middle of the game, but they are non-essential side quests. Keep going and ignore them or get them done - it gets better again. Overall I haven't played a better space RPG since Mass Effect 2. It certainly beats Andromeda. Having said that, be sure to read the other reviews. Your taste may not be the same as mine.
