    Deserves way better than the actual Metascore of 73. Great visuals, great gameplay, average story, very nice game in the end. Made by something like 12 people, it's outstanding to see what such a small studio can accomplish. Can't wait to play their next game.

    Bester Laufsimulator!

    Hätte ich so nicht rausgebracht, leider noch einige Bugs drin, weswegen man des öfteren mal neustarten muss. Vom Gameplay her ist es aber wirklich interessant und macht echt Spaß, eine Story ist gerade eben so vorhanden. Manche Kameraperspektiven sind etwas unübersichtlich und Games unter 30 Stunden Spielzeit sind auch etwas kurz, gerade lieb gewonnen und auch    Bester Laufsimulator!

    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.

    Es machte so viel Spaß in dieses Spiel und dessen Welt einzutauchen. Die Optik ist auf alle Fälle über alle Zweifel erhaben. Das Gameplay schön wuchtig. Die Welt sieht einfach richtig klasse aus (Cyber Punk). Ob nun jede einzelne Kleinigkeit ausgereift bis zum Ende ist? Bestimmt nicht. Der Loot könnte mehr Vielfalt und Kreativität vertragen. Die Charaktere tiefgreifender. Die Quests mehr ausgearbeitet und das zum Teil unnötige umherlaufe nervte auch ein klein wenig. Das sind aber alles nur kleine Punkte im großen Ganzen. Das Ende lassen wir vorerst raus, da ich das Gefühl hatte, dass es definitiv zu einem 2. Teil kommen soll bzw. wird. Je nachdem wie erfolgreich das Spiel am Ende geworden ist. Ich habe das Spiel erst im Januar 2022 "nachgeholt", also knapp ein halbes Jahr nach Release. Und ich muss sagen, dass ich weder Glitches, Bugs, noch Abstürze oder sonst was. Es lief auf meiner mittlerweile betagten 1080 auf 1440P mit Ulti/Max Einstellungen mit flüssigen 80-90 FPS. Außer bei einigen Boss Gegnern mit vielen Projektilen gingen die FPS drastisch runter.

    Fazit:

    Aber alles in allem ein richtig gutes Game, dass ich jedem empfehlen kann.
    Also auf alle Fälle jeder der den Gamepass schon abonniert hat. Wer es noch nicht gemacht hat, dann tut dies und holt das Spiel unbedingt nach.

    Meine Wertung sind 8,5 von 10 Punkten.

    _____________________________________________________________________________

    A really great game. Looks, gameplay, balance, world, immersion, characters are all really great.
    It was so much fun to dive into this game and its world. In any case, the optics are beyond all doubt. The gameplay is pretty massive. The world just looks really great (cyber punk). Whether every single little thing is mature to the end? Definitely not. The loot could use more variety and creativity. The characters more profound. The quests were more elaborate and the sometimes unnecessary walking around was a little annoying. But these are all just small points in the big picture. We'll leave out the ending for the time being, because I had the feeling that there should definitely be a second part. Depending on how successful the game ended up being. I didn't "catch up" on the game until January 2022, almost half a year after the release. And I have to say that I don't get any glitches, bugs, crashes or anything else. It ran on my now aged 1080 on 1440P with Ulti/Max settings at a smooth 80-90 FPS. Except for some bosses with lots of projectiles, the FPS went down drastically.

    Conclusion:

    But all in all a really good game that I can recommend to everyone.
    In any case, everyone who has already subscribed to the game pass. If you haven't done it yet, then do so and definitely catch up on the game.

    My rating is 8.5 out of 10 points.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    1 Map. It's aful usually i have no idea where is PoI what i looking for. Map doesn't help.
    2 Game is really short. There are only a few main quests.
    3 Half of main quests are defending a endless waves of enemies with timer. Really boring beating same enemies in same decorations.
    4 Unsatble difficulty curve. When i reach level 10 i hit found myself in locations with enemies of 14-18 levels and they hit hard.
    5 Almost every abilitiy and agumentation is useless or dangerous for the player. Most usefull thing are Hydraulic Slam and healing field.
    6 Burst rifles with homing bullets are too overpowered. Once you find one of those rafles and you will never use anything else. With these rifles 1/3 of abilities become useless. You don't need to put any points in Aiming or Balance.
    7 No fast trevel. Yes there are such a thing like a taxi or subway, but it's not a fast travel. Existing system ligicaly correct, i think, but unhandy and stupid in terms of the game. For example if you need to travel from one level to another, you have to use taxi to elevator location. After run to elevator to needed level, use it. Then call taxi to needed location again. It takes a lot of time and load screens.

    I can compare this game with Remember Me. Both stunning games. But gameplay itself so bad that i only asking self Why devs made action games but not adventures instead.    … Expand

    The art was really impressive and clearly illustrated their love for their trade and considerable effort - I expected it to look worse - some scenes are impressive!

    Some Ok things, that could be improved:
    -The RPG system could have been better, but it was different and functional. I enjoyed the learning and rewards it gave!
    -The map was hard to accurately identify terrain at times (viz. Corp-zone) , however the game is saved, given the directions to the quest function worked well.

    However, there were some areas where it lacked and ideally should be fixed if possible[!] :
    -Some things regarding aiming did not work and made playing the game fustrating.
    -Camera behaviour where traversing the world (in few places) was quite bad.
    -The quest system was hard to navigate when you had a screen full of side quests at different locations.
    -Open world made travelling a chore sometimes - the devs could easily fix this!
    -Also the range of the screen also was a pain and could do with improving - though it worked    … Expand

De las mejores experiencias jugables que he tenido este año, si bien el juego presentó de inicio una serie de bugs, en ningún momento fue impedimento para poder apreciar lo que ofrece el juego. Destaca la ambientación y el apartado grafico, es que el nivel de detalle de verdad puede volar la cabeza a cualquier amante del cyberpunk. La música es otro apartado que sobresale en el juego, emocionando e intensificando ciertas batallas como con el jefe Celine y suena la música de extraterra, no me importaba perder tanto pues al final disfrutaba cada vez que repetía esa batalla y sonaba la música de fondo, y así hay otros momentos sublimes donde la música mejora la experiencia como en dreamworld.

    Of course, it is not perfect. There can be bugs : I experienced one when I couldn't go on with my quest because enemies wouldn't pop. Checked online : solution is to restart the game, just perfect to take a little break ! There are indeed few possibilities of character customization and there are some missions you can't do at the beginning although you may have the required level. That's only because you have to advance in the main missions in order to get access to some parts of the map. Sometimes you can even be bored by the quests, partly because you don't have any stuff management : no ammo count, no armor damage to repair; and partly because you, maybe, already met all the existing enemies.
    But boy, the universe is immersive ! Everything in level design, artistic direction, level of details and, last but far from least, the sound fx and musical direction is delightful. Sometimes I just love to have a walk in those Veles archology streets, on those bridges and those catwalks because it's simply magnificent. To get a picture of the level of detail, just imagine you can switch off/on the news screens or hologram ads in the city ! Combined with what you hear, from sound fx to especially music, the game achieves to project you in a Blade Runner movie.
    This is largely enough to deserve the best reception from the cyberpunk fans. I hope this will be the case, so the development team will have the possibility to fix the few bugs, maybe add some content, and, why not, think about a sequel.

    You are free to approach the game however you like, and there is a sizable arsenal to choose from. Enemy difficulty is balanced well enough to necessitate a fair amount of micromanaging. Plenty of story and lore is jacked into the game for you to really take in the atmosphere. The performance in the game is pretty good, as long as you do not enable any RTX (you don't really see those effects anyway).

    There are a few quirks though. The controls feel a bit clunky. The movement can get tedious as there is no sprint. Some merchants are largely pointless and many of the weapons are underpowered, causing you to upgrade the same basic ones you have throughout the game. Many side missions are offered long before you can actually tackle them.

    Overall, I felt it was time well spent. I found myself truly absorbed in The Ascent's world, unlike games like Cyberpunk 2077 which could not give me the same immersion as it had no real substance. I'm a sucker for meticulously designed worlds, and this game definitely packed one of the best I've experienced in a long time. The gunfighting may have been a little stale, but it did not weigh on my overall satisfaction with the game. I definitely recommend this game for every cyberpunk fan out there.

    On a side note, I personally did not experience any of the game breaking issues as others have noted (and I'm on the Xbox Game Pass version), so chances are high that they have been patched out already.    … Expand

    A fantastically crafted world that feels alive and looks stunning. Filled with believable characters who are all voiced to a very high standard. The overall presentation of the game is extremely cool and goes a long way to making the game enjoyable.

    Gameplay wise it’s a top down shooter, which I’m generally not a massive fan of but it works well in The Ascent. You can choose from countless abilities and weapons, all of which change up how you approach missions. Do you want to go full damage? Sure, or maybe you want to take a ton of defensive and healing abilities, that’s viable too.

    On a more negative note the game does suffer from a lot of bugs right now, especially in co-op, my friend and I ran into issues such as our UI just disappearing, or not being able to break from NPCs dialog options, as well as hard crashes to desktop. Performance is also not great, I am using a high end PC and the frame rate was all over the place, with DX11 being playable and DX12 being completely broken, the devs are aware of these issues so I’d maybe wait until the game is fully patched as it did hurt my experience.

    Overall I enjoyed The Ascent a lot, it’s a great game with a few fixable technical issues. I finished the campaign in just over 10 hours, and I had a lot of side quests left to do so I’d estimate about 15 hours if you did everything.    … Expand

    I played it and for me it is a very good game, the critics have been unfair. We have been waiting for a game like this for a long time and I honestly don't read the articles written by the reviewers anymore because they are too ignorant to understand games like this.

    Stunning game, how a 12 people studio created this level of world building I'll never know. Imagine Diablo 1 or 2 but set in an alien cyberpunk universe. Must play for anyone who enjoys top down action games and cyberpunk. One of the best and most impressive games released this year, full stop.

Imagine Diablo 1 or 2 but set in an alien cyberpunk universe. Must play for anyone who enjoys top down action games and cyberpunk. One of the best and most impressive games released this year, full stop.

    On the negative the mini-map and navigation can be quite tricky, there are multiple levels and each level also has multiple level. Keeping track of where to go, and where side-missions are, can take some effort. But it works, sort of. Expect to do a lot of backtracking along familiar routes, at least the world is stunning to look at.

    It can also be quite annoying to constantly get attacked by low level thugs in some areas even though you're 10 levels above them, in the real world I imagine those thugs would know better. It just gets annoying after a while. Sometimes also the game path finding takes you through patches of higher-level enemies and you'll get slaughtered, then you'll have to find your own way around somehow.

    The difference between low and high-level is quite significant in this game and there can be difficulty spikes if you're under-level or specced or equipped your character badly. I can see how some less experienced gamers might paint themselves into a corner if they make a few bad choices or purchases. You'll need to think ahead and spend your credits wisely or you run the risk of being under-gunned, badly specced and out of cash. You can grind it back and fix most errors but even normal can turn our very challenging if you make a few bad choices and don't pay attention to weapon damage types etc. Experienced gamers should be fine mostly but some less experienced gamers might get frustrated.

    There could be some kind of repercussion for killing too many civilians, like kill five or more civilians inside of a minute and some kind of bounty hunter, or police or militia comes after you. Possibly the function could be toggled on or off, or you'd have to pay off the bounty hunter or something like that.

    So essentially it's not perfect, but what game is. It's still an absolutely stunning game and a must play if you like Action-RPG's and Cyperpunk. One of the highlights of the year.    … Expand

    Had a lot of fun with this game, and recommend it with some caveats. It has quite a few bugs/design issues with many side quests not accessible till later on but with no warning you can't get to the places you need to. Fast travelling is a real pain especially access tiers, although later on taxis help a fair bit. It can also be quite hard to distinguish a lot of the weapons and what advantage they give you.

    But the damn timed defend the area battles are a real pain and I wish they did something else instead. I'm only playing single player and they might be more manageable with more than one player. I quite like the limited heal and body battery mechanics normally but not in these battles.

    The game is stunning looking and sounding (with some audio glitches sometimes) and mostly a lot of fun. I hope they continue to refine and extend it because it's a great base but not quite fully fleshed out in a lot of areas.

    I just wish the boss battles weren't timed, and maybe had a bit more health in them for the ones that drag on. Sometimes you just can't outlast the waves without eventually accumulating too much damage. There's one I'm stuck on near the end (I think) that you can't leave a limited area or the timer resets and that is just infuriating.

    There are quite a few minor issues too like spelling mistakes and sometimes you can't shoot until you change your loadout for some reason. Also not being able to change the controls and keybindings is a bit of a problem. I struggled to use grenades due to stupid key binding and m for map is too far away (o for direction help also).

Did I mention is gorgeous? The Ascent really nails the art direction and level design. While many players complain about the map, I instead think the developers did never had the intention for us to play it following the map as we do with an open-world game. I think the map is something we could've done without, because having it has left a desire for more on it, when it's not entirely necessary. One con I have with the combat is that you could be walking down a hallway with no enemies, but when you encounter one up in front of you, enemies would spawn out of nowhere. So, if you backtrack a bit from where you came from, where there were no enemies before, you now, out of nowhere, may encounter several of them. This really makes no sense and it's a bit frustrating to me, because when I have many enemies in up front I'd like to be able to walk back to safety. I understand devs probably want me to keep moving, but I think there are other and better ways to accomplish that. Yet, my biggest complaint is the game's performance. The game stutters with effects, especially with explosions, to the point where is game breaking. Apparently as you play along it starts to perform better. But when you close and open the game again, it starts with the struggles. I've also encountered a few bugs here and there. For example, Bosses and some battle arenas have a cinematic, but if you skip these too quickly the enemies would not load properly, making you have to restart the game. I've also encountered an issue where I quit to the main menu and the game would not recognize any inputs from my controller nor keyboard, so I have to force alt-f4 to quit the game instead of through the menu. There's a bit of polishing that needs to be made but this game is a true gem, in my opinion. Is one of the coolest games I've played this year and I can't wait for the devs to expand on it with, possibly, new game modes and content.… Expand

    So lot's of variety available.

    The Story was pretty good, got me really hooked and was satisfied by the ending.
    Seen a few people put it down since they don't like how much swearing there is? i didn't even really notice it tbh. Dialogue felt mostly natural to me, like that's how real people in these situations would probably talk to each other.
    There is a fair amount of "technobabble" but again, it's from characters who i felt would talk that way.

    This isn't a live service cashcow, so no there isn't an "endgame". I would very much like more content for this game though.

    Did i mention how gorgeous it looks?

    I've maybe had the game crash to ue4 crash reporter twice in that whole time, not the bug riddled mess that others seem to be reporting.
    Only other noticeable bugs ive had were the weapon skins i had unlocked disappeared for a time, leaving me with only default.
    Sometimes when you try to start shooting again while reloading, it can mess up and not actually reload the gun, quickly got used to this and isn't really an issue if you spec for fast reloads anyway.

    Co-op quest progress does not seem to carry over, e.g if you complete a quest in someone else's game, it doesn't seem to count as you completing it, which is a shame.

    Overall, this might be my game of the year.

    Um bom jogo, excelentes gráficos e boa jogabilidade. Tem alguns problemas com a mira alta, mas no mais, um ótimo game, principalmente considerando que foi desenvolvido por 12 pessoas. Vale a pena conferir.

    I love this game, the art style and gameplay are awesome. Really recommended for frustrated fans of Cyberpunk 2077 . Red CD Project need to learn from indie studios how make great games .This game doesn't pretend to be AAA but it IS. Folks we need to support the indie game studios and show them respect for the hard work that they make. And for those suckers who give 0 score ...

    The Ascent provides you with a unique opportunity to visit the not-so-distant dystopic future of our world in an action-packed manner and also in a graphically astonishing way. Its various possibilities of character creation allow for a unique playthrough and replayablity.

    The Ascent has an excellent shooting experience and is great for playing with friends. However, apart from "shooting another wave of enemies", the game can bring very limited fun. The dull story and gameplay will easily bore you in this cyberpunk world.

    Many games go for the cyberpunk vibe lately, but few can live up to this style as good as The Ascent does. [Issue#255, p.44]
