Very fun game overall. Bugs happen from time to time which can be gamebreaking, if it weren't for autosaving the game would be a mess

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

Cyber Edition
The Ascent: Cyber Edition is an enhanced version of the cyberpunk-themed twin-stick shooter RPG, The Ascent. Set in a visually stunning, neon-drenched world, the game delivers fast-paced combat, deep RPG mechanics, and a gripping atmosphere. The Cyber Edition includes additional content, performance improvements, and DLCs, making it the definitive version. While the core gameplay is engaging, with satisfying gunplay and co-op options, it still suffers from occasional technical issues, repetitive missions, and a somewhat shallow narrative. Despite its flaws, it remains a solid choice for cyberpunk and action-RPG fans.
  • Stunning cyberpunk visuals and world design
  • Satisfying twin-stick shooter combat
  • Co-op gameplay enhances the experience
  • Story lacks depth and emotional impact
  • Missions can feel repetitive over time
  • Occasional bugs and performance issues

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
