The Ascent Looks Surprisingly Breathtaking In First-Person

There have been some mixed reactions to The Ascent since it hit Xbox Game Pass last month, but everyone seems to agree it's visually stunning. That being said, things can always look better, and this recent mod that changes the game to a first-person perspective really showcases just how beautiful the world actually is.

I'd love low level / normal 3rd person

Daayumm that looks good, wish I could play it in 3rd person myself.

I’m actually impressed by the amount of detail in the textures given that the game has a top down view so you never really get to look at them up close. Enjoying this game so far.

That's pretty insane the amount of detail when it's just a top down view regularly. Seems like a waste that they don't make a first/third person game using the same world

[zarbor]

My thoughts exactly. Why go thru all of that for a top down view? Plus why not just give gamers the option to play it various ways.

[Fishy Fingers]

Because it wouldnt work, enemies come from all around you constantly, you need to fire in all different directions, moving the camera 180 degrees back and forth in 3rd person wouldnt be possible from a gameplay point of view, the speed of movement required just wouldnt be manageable or even enjoyable.

It's a great game but damn hard in single player imo

[HyperMoused]

Ive found it weird, its like there is supposed to be a path and if you go off that imaginary path you go from level 9 enemies to suddenly level 20 enemies....having said that combat is awesome ive only played SP so far but really enjoy the game.

[MassEffectFan]

Is the game as buggy as people are making out? Really wanting to play it but several people on forums and such are saying it will stop you from progressing in various areas of the game?

[4Sh0w]

Thats exactly what if feels like to me. It's very annoying but I still enjoy the game for about 1 and half hour increments, after that I usually have to take a break until the next day.

I have not ran into any bugs at all. Only thing I have heard is people having some online co-op issues on PC but they have patched that last I heard.

[Father__Merrin]

Masseffect,

No its not as buggy it's just some of the movement mechanics could have been smoother eg rolls etc also fps hitches on certain bits.

The main issue is once you've completed all the beginning levels and reach the city then you start missions you get swarmed by enemies I mean very swarmed and with some grunts having sniper like shots that take massive chuck if hp youl be seeing game over screens. I'm sure this is more for coop but it's still a good game

[HyperMoused]

Havnt encountered any bugs yet but im only playing sp at the moment

[KillBill]

I thought it was hard at first... but after figuring out how to deal with the enemies it became so much easier.

[HyperMoused]

That spider robot..wow...i only beat that as i leveled up in the middle of the fight

[Kerppamaister]

The world in this game is simply amazing.

Wonderful surprise on the xbox game pass.
This game is a true gaming delight. By far the best game of the month of July.

I have only liked ISO Metric games that are tactical based... until now. The Ascent has completely sucked me into its gameplay and story. I would list it as my GOTY so far... it is really that enjoyable for me. And I absolutely hate dual stick shooting games... but not this one! If a game is good enough to make me like a style of game I used to hate then it's got my vote and full support!
