Just phenomonal.
Great world building.
Very satisfying combat.
Amazing, immersive graphics. This was ten times more fun than cyberpunk. And the voice acting was great too.
Don't understand why this isn't getting better reviews.

What a fresh breath of (toxic) air. I've been playing this game for the past few weeks and I'm really very impressed with The Ascent.
The artwork is so friggin' detailed, inspired and believable it's uncanny. I just love it to bits and I think the people responsible for the world design should win a few prizes. It's simply ART with a capital A in my book and they must have invested an incredible amount of passion, time and effort into it. The writing and characters really complement that art-style and I love the overall idea behind the setting.
Game play grows on you quickly too, and though quite simple, it is highly compelling and more engaging than the average hack-and-slash action rpg. Another thing this game does well is the pacing of its rpg elements like loot and upgrades: valuable upgrades at the right intervals, appealing chests to hunt down, interesting abilities to unlock, cool guns, etc. Not much filler stuff here and you won't be overburdened either.
The game doesn't hold your hand much, it can be quite challenging here and there and at times explains very little. Eventually things work out though, doors get unlocked, locked out chests become available and the high level enemies that one-shotted you earlier, will be destroyed.
Only downsides so far: the map can be confusing at times and I encountered a bug where a door in the Morgue wouldn't open for me for some time but I think they fixed that with an upgrade.
Performance is excellent I think. I'm playing this at 1440p on my old GTX970 and I have most of the settings (that are available to my set-up) maxed out, except for shadow quality as I saw a yt vid on that being the biggest resource hog.
Conclusion: If you like action rpgs and if you like an inspired cyberpunk setting it's simply a must buy. For around 20 bucks on Steam this really is kind of a steal. I'm really looking forward to see what these people will be working on next.

В общем Neon Giant решили сделать такой недорогой Cyberpunk 2077 только для любителей изометрии.Что ж получилось так себе.Игра старается копировать мир, настройку персонажа даже меню выполнено в таком же вырвиглазном цветовом антураже как в Cyberpunk 2077. Только всего этого очень мало и всё это более дёшево.Действие происходит в киберпанковском будущем. Враги какие то инопланетяне и солдаты, не особо понял. Есть боссы.Стрелять мне не очень понравилось, в изометрических играх вообще очень сложно прицелиться, а здесь сенс стрельбы на консоли очень чувствительный и изменить его не представляется возможным. При этом помощь в прицеливании не работает от слова совсем.Есть какая никакая прокачка, как персонажа так и оружия.Как и в Cyberpunk 2077 есть город хаб и задания с отстрелом врагов вокруг него.Игра не плохо выглядит, ну для изометрической конечно, нпс реагируют на героя, убегают, уворачиваются и т. д.И так. The Ascent может понравиться тем кто любит вид как в Diablo, но рассчитывать на что то большее я бы не стал. Она совершенно не выделяется среди подобных игр. Хотя сейчас её можно попробовать в PS Plus за подписку.Так, чо дерзайте.

First it was way too easy so i had to set hard difficulty, until it became ridiculously hard even on normal. Game is really beautiful, too bad **** balance made me drop it.

For me The Ascent became a controversial game. It contains BAD plot, grind system, boring characters, but at the same time interesting cyberpunk setting, interesting and not typical gameplay, amazing aesthetics.
I won't lie, for me this game didn't gift nice emotions and i won't comeback for this one, but it has it's own pluses. Summing up the pros and cons i would give it 5/10. Average game, but sadly, not more.

The mega corporation that owns you and everyone, The Ascent Group, has just collapsed. Confusion and chaos ensue, security and order are in disarray, and without protection, everyone is left to fend for themselve...
