Alright double niggers, what is wrong with the hacking game genre? Why are there so few notable games? How do other games fuck up their hacking minigames so colossally? Why are there no good hacking games coming up?

etc.

Uplink was the shit but its literally fifteen years old at this point. Is the market for hacking games really so small that no one has made something to top it?
>>
Hacker evolution is good tho

Hacker Evolution you just explore a level and then restart it to hack things in the optimal order.

It is cool how it links a hacked computer to a location in the world though, like the first level where you're hacking traffic lights that you can see in the background. But the strategy to it all feels rock-paper-scissory, and not in a good way

Is uplink best of them all? Never tried them so just want to know in which one to invest my time.

I forgot it was a genre. Thanks for reminding me Anon, I'll pick up the ones I can remember on Steam.

Hacknet is a good experience but linear
Hacker Evolution is open world but not a great experience
Uplink is old and clunky as shit
Not sure if Mu Complex is good or not
And thats all the hacking games I can think of out of 15 years

Yeah I thought the same about Deux Ex from 2000 and it ended up my favourite game, will try it then, thanks.

Deus Ex and Uplink feel pretty similar in tone
Uplink just has an outdated UI/controls though, not in a charming way
