This has to be one of the most refreshing games I've played since the start of 2020. The mechanics, boss fights, story development and the visual fidelity is amazing. It deserves higher than a score of 7.
Downloaded it as soon as it came out and I've been having a blast with it. It's amazing to me that 12 people developed this game. I'm totally immersed in its world aesthetic
Of course you can aim above you on a stairwell... That's like one of the first few things the game teaches you. Hold down right-mouse-button (or probably left trigger on controller) to aim high and shoot over obstacles like small enemies, cover, and stairs.
no matter what u say about cyberpunk 2077 u cant hate the city ,it was beautiful and aesthetic and bloody immersive if only the other elements worked as well as the visuals of 2077
"No, the ascent doesn't let your cyber warrior get with anybody, but honestly is that something you'd really want in this world?" *shows grotesque alien* Yes. Yes, it is.
You forget, IGN and most other content creators usually have had the game for possibly weeks before it released for the rest of us, how else do you think they can review a game before its out.
I'm still searching for the Bubble Shield Skill with no luck. '-' We can't use that Stealth Holographic Camouflage Skill and Laser Blade Katanas from the asian gangs. :/ Put Weird West from WolfEye Studios on your Steam Wishlist guys, it''ll probably be the next hit in the same style of gameplay.
The game only plays that way with a twin stick gamepad. With mouse and keyboard your character stumbles around backwards, sideways, bumps into stuff, gets stuck on everything. Just terrible. Needs better PC implementation, way better.

Agree. I'd go give it a 9 myself.
7 for me. Would be an 8 if it had matchmaking. Insane that it doesn't have it.
Couldn't agree more. As a fan of old-school twin-stick shooter, i'd definitely give it a 9.
it only got 7? I also like it a lot…really a fun title
This wasn't the cyberpunk we wanted but it was the cyberpunk we needed!
This game is way better than cyberpunk even tho cyberpunk is open world shooter
This game is fun af, also dont listend to IGN for any guide ever lol.

it's really not that fun. you just walk from place to place and the combat never changes
Boring person alert ⬆️
8 out of 10. Would be 9 with a better story and a 10 without bugs

This game is gorgeous and fun as hell.
@@TheCivildecay yeah I’d say it’s a bit higher. Not. 9 or 10 but a solid 8
I'm loving it.
The future of gaming is *indie* !
Awesome game. Deserved higher than 7….smh ign
Is a solid 8
@@edybocman76 agreed
How do you know? You haven't even played it. Also, it got a 3 from other places, so not like IGN is low.
@@Slurpy2k8 I play it atm and it’s definitely not a 7, I’d give it a 8.
7 is pretty much a zero from IGN. Absolutely no consistency in scoring though they seem to have dropped the 9.7 9.8 bollocks.
How could a small studio make a city look more cyberpunk than cyberpunk 2077?

They need to remaster Hunter: Reckoning
I've only just discovered The Ascent. £22 on Steam. Absolute bargain. This is the game I've been crying out for for years. More please.
skillup said to play it, so ima play it
Skillup is right
ACG said it was the most fun he had all year
Love this game. What a breath of fresh air!! Yay!!
This game is great.
"No, the ascent doesn't let your cyber warrior get with anybody, but honestly is that something you'd really want in this world?"
*shows grotesque alien*
Yes. Yes, it is.
Il try anything once
Excellent release ! Very impressive!
The game just released, who is the expert teaching new players stuff?

Just started playing with lil bro, its fun
Plot twist this is the "real" cyberpunk 2077
It's not the cyberpunk we wanted but it's the one we needed.
Hack locked white chests before opening otherwise they won't open even when you have the required ICE tiers.
Is it couch co-op?
Yeah, 2 - 4 local
Ruiner 2 electric boogaloo
Definitely brought some ruiner vibes, and Ruiner was fun as hell
This game is on sale for £12.49 on the playstation store right now, the deal is on until about mid November 2022.
This game is great. Totally addicted.
I’m playing right now on series x
Nice, never played Hunter but always wanted too.
This game is amazing. Got it for $9
Looks like cyberpunk diablo
Can you play 2 players on the same unit? Pc or console or is it coop online?
Yes you can do both couch co-op and co-op online, fellow Tolkien fan ;)

wish it has melee weapons =p
"...since you actually won't be able to aim above you."
*DUDE...* 😒
Seriously...I was wondering if anyone else caught that. For those who are wondering, YES. Yes you CAN aim above you.
Imagine in first person action shooting,,, this game is amazing,,definitely is a 8 ...
Wish cdpr had gone in this direction
FACTS
I'll give it a go
You can aim above stairs you just can't aim below.
Did he say Xbox exclusive? It's on steam tho? I'm confused lol
Xbox ecosystem so pretty much not on switch or playstation
Xbox is PC by a different name.
Is this game digital only?
Yes
This game freezes all the time. It's so frustrating and unacceptable.
Guess I'm buying an Xbox.
It's on PC too.
This game is gems
what are the best weapons to upgrade?
ABR commander is best, its ballistic burst rifle, find it by opening a ICE chest in cluster 13

Is it open world?
Yes
Split into district's
You could have mentioned hdr not working? Uninstalling until it does. Not touching it until then. Disappointing!
works fine for me on pc
This isn't exclusive to the series S/X.... I'm playing on my Xbox one lol
And I’m playing on PC. They always forget about PC.
Dahora vou jogar no meu Xbox Series S uhuuuuuuuuu 🎮🔥🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮👏👏👏
9.5/10
Most people are new players...
Hi
Xbox exclusive?!?! How come I'm playing it on Steam then?
Because all Xbox games are available on PC.
too many walks, 9/10 of the time is on the road
Is it getting HDR for Series X?
Yes it has HDR10
@@cruelwraith2games926 not for me
@@ChicagoMade does your TV support hdr10 and hdr10+ TV have to support those things otherwise it's not going to automatically work
Make sure your Xbox series X plug into a 2.1 port on your TV sometimes it might be the third or fourth one
