Steam reviews

What players say

Players who want a hacking sim with real tools and a convincing Linux-style desktop mostly recommend it, though many find it too linear and too handholding.

Many players praise the believable desktop, the use of real tools such as nmap, hydra and hashcat, and the clean interface. Some say it is a good way to learn basic terminal commands and the hacker mindset, and that the story and puzzles are satisfying when things click. Others complain that missions are too linear and hand-held, that the game tells you what to type without explaining why, and that some tools behave differently from their real counterparts. Several reviewers from the last year describe the multiplayer mode as promising but short of players and rewards, while recent reviews also mention bugs and a lack of replayability. Several helpful reviews note that the developers respond quickly to bug reports.

Criticised

  • Too linear and hand-held

    Players say missions are scripted, tell you exactly what to type, and leave little room for other solutions.

    Many players
  • Unclear objectives and missing explanations

    Reviewers say they often don't know what a task wants or why a command is needed.

    Some players
  • Realism gaps in tools and systems

    Some tools and file behaviour differ from real Linux, and some reviewers say the simulated network is sparse.

    Some players
  • Bugs and interface issues

    Reviewers mention window scaling, missing multi-screen support and crashes or runtime problems on some setups.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want to get familiar with real security tools and terminal work in a forgiving, story-driven setting.
Who should skip it
Players who want open-ended hacking, realistic depth, or a challenging sandbox should look elsewhere.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours mostly praise the multiplayer mode but say it lacks players, rewards and replayability, while newcomers focus on the story and tutorial.

HackHub Review: A Polished Hacking RPG with Narrow Paths

HackHub makes the hacker-RPG fantasy readable and inviting. The simulated desktop is its best asset, recognizable tools give missions texture, and version 1.0's multiplayer and modding provide a reason to return beyond the solo campaign.
