    Awesome. It needs to add a bigger font size, then It will be even better. Some text is really small and a pain to read

    Terrible open world. Loading, loading, loading, than take a mission, and again loading, loading, loading. But anyway, game is good, especially with game pass)

    The environment is the star of this game.

    Also nice character customisation.

    This game is amazing, basically it's the setting I wanted to see in a cyberpunk game in complete congruence with what I imagined.

    PS: (I loved the Blade Runner references that are almost mandatory for a game set in this kind of universe)

    Terrible, unfinished. Crashed 5 times on first start up. Changed to fullscreen, finally, then it softlocked me. Have to uninstall the game, maybe reinstall to fix it. Thanks game devs! Maybe try finishing your game next time before you sell it. Just a thought!

    It took me a long time to really understand and embrace The Ascent. It's a very unique game, being an open world twin stick shooter RPG, and a challenging one that demands a lot of tactical changes from the player throughout, and that's definitely something I wish I knew beforehand. It's also very buggy, crashes occasionally and has unreasonably long load times, but I couldn't help butIt took me a long time to really understand and embrace The Ascent.

It's also very buggy, crashes occasionally and has unreasonably long load times, but I couldn't help but keep pushing throughout while learning the ropes simply because it was fun to play and explore. The art direction of the cyberpunk theme is some of the most authentic depictions I've ever witnessed, rivaling that of Blade Runfner and Deus Ex, and is hands down the game's most impressive aspect. This was a rollercoaster ride for me, but in the end I still came out of it with a generally positive impression.… Expand

    Fun but has its repetitive bits. Enemies turn into bullet sponges later in the game & gets very grindy at the end. It has its bugs but the game only crashed on me a couple times during my play through. Good twin stick shooter. All in all, I really liked it but I wish it was less grindy.

    Je veux mettre une critique positive parce que je pense que les gens ont de mauvaises attentes. Ce jeu est un jeu de tir à deux bâtons avec des éléments rpg. J'ai joué 9 heures pour l'instant. Coop et solo, les deux expériences étaient plutôt bonnes. J'ai rencontré 1 bug (aucun son nécessaire pour redémarrer le jeu).

    Es una maravilla jugar. Realmente me estoy divirtiendo mucho haciéndolo. Muy recomendable, pruébalo y no te arrepentirás, ¡lo único que te arrepentirías es no haberlo probado desde su lanzamiento!

    Cool game. Played it on series x, hopped on my Xbox One to try it out and it plays great there too, no issues with performance either.

    ‎Me encanta este juego, el estilo de arte y la jugabilidad son impresionantes. Realmente recomendado para los fans frustrados de Cyberpunk 2077 . Red CD Project necesita aprender de los estudios independientes cómo hacer grandes juegos

    Bestes Spiel, das ich dieses Jahr gespielt habe. Es gibt hier und da ein Problem, aber sie können nicht davon abhalten, dass dieses Spiel Cyberpunk richtig gemacht hat. Die Umgebungen sind fantastisch und das Gameplay ist hektisch. heftig und aufregend.

    There are plenty of things I wish were different. The loot system, the map, the small text, gear being underwhelming, the damage types being confusing, lack of bosses, and lots and lots of running in the wrong direction while following the trail. That’s a lot of major stuff. Yet it’s still an awesome game, but unfortunately the bad is always louder than the good. While I think of these as negative, others may like it and disagree entirely. I believe it is indeed a pleasure to play but I also wish certain things were different.

    Overall, The Ascent is a great addition to the cyberpunk genre. The graphics are stunning, the characters and story entertaining, and it’s available right now on Gamepass.

    Although there are some minor issues here and there, The Ascent's great atmosphere and breathtaking action-packed gameplay are more than enough to convince almost any gamer to give it a try.
