The Ascent is a tour de force from developer Neon Giant. The core gameplay mechanics are perfectly implemented with incredibly satisfying combat, accompanied by a fantastic story and numerous very welcome quality of life features. Its difficulty is just on the right side of challenging, and there is just the right amount of depth to its RPG underpinnings to satisfy more hardcore gamers without alienating newcomers.
Discover some modern hits and timeless classics you and a friend can play across PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium.
Daily Video Game writes:"If you're in the market for new games, Amazon is offering decent discounts on dozens of select action-adventure, RPG, sports, and simulation games across multiple gaming platforms right now, featuring popular titles like The Quarry, WWE 2K22, and more on sale."
The Ascent’s Cyber Heist DLC doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it provides a satisfying way of extending your enjoyment of one of the best ARPGs of recent memory. The reliance on a non-specific Macguffin means the story doesn’t have the agency it needs, but the excellent core gameplay makes this an enjoyable, if short, way for fans of The Ascent to extend their time in the game.
The reviews for this game are all over the place....
I think this is the first 9 I've seen for this game out of 5 reviews that had it as broken with 3's and ok with 6's....talk about all over the place wow. Guess I'll see where my own view of the game lands.
Polarising reviews but from what I've played it's a 7 for sure but in no way is it a 3 it's NOT A BROKEN GAME like the metro review made out to be.
I've played the first two hours and I'm really enjoying my time with it. Reminds me a bit of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (which also didn't get the best reviews, but I really liked it). Not amazing, but not bad either.
I've had a game breaking audio glitch and the odd graphical glitch, hopefully it gets an update soon.
