Enter cyberspace. Become a hacker! Darknet is a strategy/puzzle game in which you play as an elite hacker in the Net. Plug into cyberspace, using viruses, worms, and exploits to steal the data before your signal gets traced.
I love this game. Somehow when I got the quest 3, the game loaded in my library (I owned it on the rift). I’ve been playin it with no problem using an Xbox controller (lack of back button on quest controllers). To my dismay, I restarted a quest and the game disappeared. :(
Great game, but needs a Quest 2 version. A wonderful balance between mellow and tense as you gradually feel yourself becoming more and more powerful the more upgrades you get each level. The smaller worldbuilding touches are absolutely sublime as well. If I had one complaint, it's that this game is in dire need of a proper Quest 2 version. The only ways I'm able to play this game right now are using airlink (which relies on my WiFi being stable and it generally doesn't feel right to use my pc processing power for a game that I first ran on a smartphone), or by having the quest 2 applications menu somehow pick up on me owning the game and installing what appears to be the Samsung Gear VR 2nd gen version, which doesn't appear to have mapped the back button correctly to the quest 2 controllers, rendering that version effectively unplayable. Once we have a proper Quest 2 version, I will be confident in bumping this up to the 5 stars this game deserves.
A Fun Puzzle Game to Zone Out To. This is a fun puzzle game to play when you just wanna take a break and escape for awhile. It can be pretty challenging, but it has a gentle skill curve that teaches you as you play. There are also some pretty cool elements, like being able to move between networks.
It's also a nice game just to zone out to when you want to relax. There are some exhilirating moments where you'll solve the level in the nick of time, but for the most part, the game becomes instinctual.
Like other ones said, "just one more", and you're still there an hour later, trying to hack every nodes, just for fun :) If you like logic (or brute force with all your viruses) and peaceful environment, this game is for you. Sure, VR doesn't bring much, but you're 'inside', and that's enough.
I forgot how much fun this was! touchOK. I used to play this on the gear vr years back, but hadn't thought much of it.. Just launched it accidentally on my rift. Wow, I forgot how much fun this game was. works perfectly with Touch btw as of May 2019.
This seems to be broken with Touch. With my controller plugged in as well as Touch this version is not playable. Please expedite a fix so i dont have to by the Steam version recently rolled out for Vive as well.
Edit : Yes touch suport added . Shame I can't just delete my review :)
Fantastic puzzler experience. I purchased this in 2018. I then installed it then ran it for the first time. Over 4 years later and I'm STILL playing it - it's THAT good !!
Touch controllers don't work well. No idea if this is a good game or not because the control interface is so terrible. After each move you need to press the "back" button (A or X) but it amost never works. Player ends up pressing random buttons for a minute and hope it takes so you can make your next move. Might be a decent game if they fix this but who knows.
