The game looks promising, but at the moment I cant recommend it. Developed by one developer, so props too him. But for beginners way to complex. Biggest downside is that the tutorial/ explanation is lacking and there is no sounds ingame.

About the Game
Grey Hack is a massively multiplayer hacking simulator game.You're a hacker with full freedom to act as you wish on a vast network of procedurally generated computers.
File Explorer, Terminal and Text Editor are some of the programs that will be available from the start of the game. As you improve your skills you will find new utilities that you may install and use.
A living persistent world
Explore the Grey Hack universe and forge your own reputation in a world shared by all players. When you leave the game, the online universe remains actively running 24/7.This always active game session means that the changes you have made in any computer in the world can be seen by players who connect to them even if you are no longer online. Your progress will be saved, but your actions may have consequences.
Plan your attacks
Each network in the world has a totally different configuration, size and security, also using a dynamic and deep exploit system so that each network and computer poses a different challenge. Study your target; use social engineering, scan the system for administrator flaws that allow a backdoor to be opened, test different possible exploits, but above all, cover your tracks when you're done.Create, modify, share
The terminal has a fundamental role, based on real UNIX commands; it is an indispensable tool for carrying out successful attacks.Terminal commands and exploits have been built using the scripting language available in the game, this means that you can modify any existing command or create your own if you wish. In the same way you can create your own exploits if the ones that are already available in the world do not satisfy your needs.
Sandbox
Grey Hack offers a non-linear experience where you progress at your own pace. Publish web pages to share your creations, create guilds and organize attacks against other players, carry out commissioned missions to earn money and reputation, or explore the world on your own where special missions and other secrets are hidden.Single Player Mode
Grey Hack is intended to be played in Multiplayer Mode, benefiting from the richer environment of an always-online universe, but the game also offers a single player mode for those so inclined. In Single Player mode, you play in a world created on your computer. Unlike Online Mode, when you exit the game in Single Player, the in-game universe stops, and progress resumes only upon your return.Roadmap
Grey Hack is in the Alpha phase version 0.8. You can check the roadmap on the game's Steam forum. I am open for suggestions, if there is any feature you would like to see in the game, do not hesitate to let me know through the Steam forums or Discord.Screenshots
User Reviews
This game is an absolute favorite. It's got a relatively high learning curve, but if you like putting your brain to something and having fun with a friend or two, this is a fantastic way to do it! It's a safe place to play with this type of brain itch, and I love that!
This is a fun game and the most realistic game for pentesting compared to other hacking games out there. The real fun comes when you learn the base game and move into multiplayer. Has a pretty dedicated community that have built customer tools which i recommend everyone get involved.
Take your time, read everything and just start exploring concepts. Yes, you will want to have a browser opened to the guides potentially (it's not [i]absolutely[/i] necessary, it just helps if you're lost for direction. There's a small tutorial to get you started and it's super barebone but it's absolutely meant to be. This game relies heavily on your willingness to learn new things and if you're not into that or don't find coding or looking at a screen of text fun, probably not the game for you, however, if you can figure out how to use the Steam review formatting [b][i]like this[/i][/b], you're already able to figure some light problems out. It just takes a bit of practice but it gets exceptionally fun as you dig in. As a bonus though, if you [b]DO[/b] decide to give it a run and have an interest in linux, this helped me with Terminal a heap learning about navigation and other core concepts.
Is there a learning curve? Yes, definitely. Can it be applied in real life? In theory, yes. In actuality, the commands are not the same. Is it fun? Once you get past the learning curve, you will feel smarter and thus have more fun. Is it a hacking game? No, it is more in line with a puzzle game involving hacking. Get an objective, figure out how to solve the problem and get past firewalls using loopholes, retrieve the data and turn in your homework for a reward. Do I recommend it? Yes.
It's a good game.
Best hacking game ever. Pretty realistic and difficult. A few things to fix, but it is early access still.
fun and hard 10/10
perfect experince and learning skills
