PC Critic Reviews

Despite the odd bit of patchy voice acting, Hacked: The Streamer weaves a tense, engaging FMV tale that will keep you hooked.

Exploring themes like toxic relationships and safety in the digital world, Hacked: The Streamer delivers a tense and suspenseful story with technically polished execution. While its narrative generally keeps the element of curiosity at a high level, it manages to keep players engaged despite its short runtime through multiple endings, new scenes, and surprises with every playthrough.

Hacked The Streamer might be a short game, but it’s an interesting FMV experience that certainly makes you question some of your choices. It’s fun to play, and you can replay it many times, which is a great thing about the title. We’ve never had any game enter the streaming world from this perspective, and it highlights the reality of being a streamer. It’s not all glitz and glamor, there are certainly some tough challenges and moments you have to consider. As a complete package, Hacked: The Streamer is fun to play. Not everyone will like the FMV approach, and it’s natural, since this is a gaming niche on its own. But the performances by the cast are great overall, the story is intriguing, albeit self-contained, and it’s certainly a unique take on streaming. For that alone, it’s worth considering, especially if you are a huge fan of interactive games.
