Yep, it is good.
  • Everything
  • Nothing
This game doesn't work great on steamdeck.

I'm really disapointed with this purchase.
  • fast delivery
  • poorly optimize for SteamDeck
I bet The Ascent is the Cyberpunk Lite for anyone don't like Cyberpunk 2077 or don't have money for bought Cyberpunk from C
But Neon Giants was doing good about neon environment but they should made this for sandbox and open-world that the game more realistic and greater for the next time
  • Realistic Graphics
  • Best Sountrack
  • Engaging gameplay
  • Lack of Sandbox
  • Linear World
Game is ok. Local Coop is ok, but it can be confusing to play it because of how the crosshairs are used. Both player 1 and 2 share the same red or whatever color is your HUD and it’s very distracting for someone like me to differentiate which character I’m playing as in the same screen. The HUD colors are very limited as there’s nothing much but the unsettling color red everywhere. You can change it ti orange red or orange, but it is still ugly and uncomfortable to look at prolonged hours in game. The map has a cool concept, but there’s no way to tell if you’re in a high level area unless you want to risk it yourself.
Very nice game, best graphics so far for this kind of view (like Diablo's view) . The ambience, landscape story, characters are very nice, detailed, good style. Music is awesome, it is even a big part of the game, reminds me of street of rage's music, very adapted to the gameplay. Well that's the same here. I fall in love with this game music (cheers pablov).

This game is awesome, really worth 20 euros (in fact, its would be worth 35 easily). Buy dat sh/t, play dat sh/t.

Only bad thing to say, lack of cinematics (beautiful ones but really few of them)
  • awesome music
  • awesome universe/landscapes
  • good graphics, very nice animations
  • good story
  • not much to say. very few localization bugs maybe (for some 2dary missions)
  • not enough cinematics
