What players say

Sure, this game exaggerates a bit and won't tell you how things are actually hacked in real life. I'd honestly be surprised if it did. So as a fun joke game it's great, 10 out of 10, I liked everything. It's nothing more than a meme game.

1 more review, not recommended
Second part of the unfinished trilogy of hacking games. This definitely felt better than the first "hack_me" but still didn't hit the point of recommending it to other people. It had more commands and tools to use for hacking, but quality of the game was lacking to have a solid experience. P.S. "hack_me 3" has been in development for a long time. Demo got released in 2019 as the "1st episode" . No updates since...
