Bitburner is a programming-based incremental game. Write scripts in JavaScript to automate gameplay, learn skills, play minigames, solve puzzles, and more in this cyberpunk text-based incremental RPG.
At work claude writes all the code for me. Then I come back home and get to write code by myself on Bitburner. 10/10 game.
I remember picking up this game for the first time when I was in a tough time in my life. A game related to hacking which revolves around coding was too good to back out. Should I mention it has a black green terminal. But yeah I didn't understand what I was doing and it wasn't very intuitive and so I dropped it.
A few days back I saw the game again...
100% worth the cost of entry and then some. One of the problems you run into when trying to learn a programming language is actually having some practical application you have some investment in. Maybe you have a project already in-mind but it's also really easy to get hung up on it with the expected frustration, possibly even dropping that project...
The game is great, I went into it with no programming knowledge, and it forced me to learn some basic Javascript, which was painful. But steam says I'm 800 hours in and I'm still having fun.
Truly a great game though it might not be for everyone. If your remotely interested in living the 2000s era hacker man fantasy this is the game for you
HIGHLY recommended.
A slow-paced idle game with a lot of options just under the surface. You'll at the very least pick up basic scripting pretty quickly - It's more or less necessary to make your way through the game at all.
Bitburner teaches you how to code, then expects you to dig deep enough to break it with the code it taught you - Multiple achievements...
