The world of video games is filled with massive, complex experiences that only the most experienced players will ever truly master. Many of these games are amazing experiences that few will ever encounter, but The Ascent is one of the games that even those who are not fans of the genre should try. The game is being developed by Swedish indie Neon Giant and is being published by Curve digital. It is a cyberpunk-themed type of game available in the Xbox series, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox One.
The Ascent game has fun abilities to earn skills points through passive skills, and it can help boost your energy and HP. The game also is harder into combat and feel than onits role-play. Almost all the abilities have a cyberpunk flair type. The game's animation has a big role as they sell the power of your leap and dash moves and kill enemies.
The setting of the game
Ascent’s setting came from the mixed idea of neon-flecked ‘80s cyberpunk and the grimy science fiction one. The story is set in an Arcology and a self-contained city squeezed into a skyscraper. It has a stunning urban style with a market, plaza, valleys with streams of flying cars and colorful neon billboards, and teeming roads. The setting of the game becomes more special because of the micro-level. Which wherever you go in the game, you will see a meticulous detail.

Another thing about The Ascent is its loot system. All the weapons are made handcrafted except the weapons that are being dropped by enemies from the game. But the idea of upgrading your weapon from the loot you will receive at every level you accomplish is a great idea. Making every weapon being rare and unique to each other.
Overall, the Ascent games are great and fun to play. The game's story really takes you to the stinking depths of the story to a higher level giving you a more different aesthetic vibe. This is fully for combats shootings, with gangsters, soldiers, augmented aliens, and even hulking mechs. Aside from battle, you can also do visit shops or do side quests. This game is well-made and is really worth purchasing. So how about you? What do you think about this game? Tell us your comments down below.
