It uses Assembler
Game utilizes simplified Assembler in as series of riddles. Maybe not strictly hacking, but some very low level programming, which can be present in ones hacking journey.

No in game tutorial makes it difficult to learn
There is no hand holding with this game, no in-game tutorial makes it difficult to know how to play. Though there is a PDF manual that can be printed out.

Replayability through a never ending sandbox creation mode
Users can create their own puzzles in the 3 available sandbox modes in game. This allows for users to come back to the game over and over to create custom puzzles and experience something different each time making for a lot of replayability.

Teaches actual coding
The game is basically text based which means users will have to actually type in code in order to play. This makes for a learning experience for those unfamiliar with coding due to actually having to code in order to play.

Super fun and interesting!
The game is mostly realistic! It teaches you many things about how computers work, and the whole game can be played through a terminal! It has a graphical interface to open documents and navigate file systems, it also has a graphical nmap to connect to different nodes! Highly recommended, it's a really good game that teaches you a lot about hacking! It makes you search through files and makes you think hard to find password, IP addresses, and a lot more! Some "missions" / contracts require fast-thinking, which puts your knowledge at a challenge.

A lot of automatism
The game has a lot of exe programs that you must use to crack different ports ( example: You type the command "SSHCrack 22" and it automatically cracks port 22 and unlocks it ), and there's no actual way of doing much manually.

It's a good game but should not be on a list with hacking games as there is virtually no hacking in it.

Its somewhat strange but this is one of my favorite games of all time. It is quickly turning into the best hacking game ever devised with every feature you could hope for and more.

DecisiveAlanGua's Experience
The game has a compelling story but is mainly entertaining for developers. It has a big player base and a ton of mystery and puzzles. But most importantly it allows you to write your own scripts in js and use them in-game, sell them to other players or scam them. There are a ton of features and real-time players to outsmart
