I never thought I would write a review about a game were the main thing you will to will be to stare and a screen and type. But Hacknet does it very well. The game immersion is incredible : you don't control a hero or character as you are yourself typing and controlling your computer. The interface, graphics, effects and sounds really reinforce the immersion and are coherent with the theme of the game, going as far as making you even sometimes panic in the moments of urgency. The narration is nothing mindblowing but very good itself and delivered in a unique way as you solve the puzzles and find files in different computers. There are also a lot of hidden random conversations that you can find and if you take the time to read, will probably make you chuckle. The DLC is more hacknet slightly beefed up and is something I liked myself, but I would only recommend to buy it if you liked hacknet. The music however is seriously really good in both the base game and DLC and I would highly recommend you to buy the OST with the game. Again, not a game for everyone, but in my case I absolutely loved it. If you are skeptic, I would recommend you to buy it on sale as it's a steal. Be warned however, this is not a hacking simulator, but does retransmit the feeling of being a badass hollywood hacker really well.
I've never played a typing game or a bullet hell but the Textorcist was a really good surprise, +now i've learnt touch typing, So playing it was actually taught me a valuable skill. The musics are really good, the sprite art is nice, but it's sometimes hard to appreciate it because you are dodging a thousand bullets. The story, while nothing incredible is nothing stunning. As many say it, going from moving to typing is a bit hard but It's quick to lean and adapt. a worthy purchase
