The Ascent

The athmosphere is great! I love the setting! But after your first walk through Sector 13 - it get's really old, really fast, having to walk everywhere. Yes, there are trainstations to connect big hubs, you can unlock a taxi service - but they won't help a lot and the later one is stupidly expensive. The gameplay...is ok. The game pretends to be somehow tactical, giving you options to hide behind cover, shoot over cover, shoot enemies behind cover, making you think planning and positioning before engaging enemies matters - and then spawns five additional enemies in your back. There's zero tactic, it's just run and gun. But what broke it for me was the technical side. First of: no menue option to change the language? Edit a file or use start commands? Seriously? And then: My first game session was ok, when I loaded it up the next day I had massive input lag. Googled it, tried some advised solutions, but nothing worked. So I stand with all the other people experiencing similiar problems up on reloading, and really can't recommend this game to anyone.

Es una pena que un diseño tan bueno de escenarios tenga un gameplay y una historia tan soberanamente aburridos. A las hora y media ya has visto, mecánicamente, todo lo que el juego tiene para ofrecer.

It took a couple of times of me giving it a shot before it clicked, but now I really enjoy returning and playing more and looking forward to what else I can get into in the game, I keep looking at the other reviews and i'm like man, did they launch up the wrong game? Are we even playing the same thing? It's probably one of the most engrossing Cyberpunk universes i've got to play around in so far, people keep saying the game is abandoned which is rather confusing considering this isn't a live service game and is actually content complete. I can't speak to the issues of co-op, so maybe that's where a lot of people are running into issues, but on a single player framework i'm not running into any bugs thus far, i'm not saying they aren't there but I definitely haven't encountered any, it's just been a fairly competent and often fun looter/shooter cyberpunk rpg.

I liked it a lot. The cyberpunk world looks amazing, with tons of detail packed into every area, and the atmosphere is easily one of the strongest parts of the game. It feels dirty, crowded, neon-lit, and alive. The combat is also satisfying once you get used to it. The weapons feel good. It is not perfect, and there are moments where it can feel a little repetitive, but the world, visuals, and overall feel of the game made it worth playing for me.

The beginning of this game is great, it flows, its polished well. I didn't have issues with the camera angle throughout, I was having fun. AS you start to progress the game becomes less flowly. There are some missions that you can't do because you need to do the story mission first, but the side missions appear after story missions, so you'd think you could do it, I couldn't walk through doors I could hack that would open. Then after completing the story mission it actually worked. Its like there's a predetermined pathway they want you to play this game, but I have no idea what that is in a world so detailed and in a good way, overwhelming environment. I put a bunch of weapon upgrades on for the starter weapons because I didn't know you could only get them from bounties you don't see often or chests, equipment that are in areas with enemies that are too difficult, after already clearing out entire areas you can perform in of loot. Some chests you can't open without a good cyberdeck, which you rarely find and I have no idea how they work to be honest. You'll get like 100 grand, and buy a level 1 weapon thats supposedly better because its new to the weapon store because you complete a story mission, but its worse because its MK1 not MK5 and in order to upgrade you have to go to those areas you already can't perform in. The gernade turret sucks, but it cost hella, the armor isn't to scale: like dress pants have more benefits than any other legging armor I have found and I haven't found anything better for 10 character levels. This game looks amazing, I want to love it and want to play it. But I am getting tired of walking 800 meters to a Nightclub only to not be able to walk into it even though the door is open.

This game is strong 7.3/10. This is why: The game soundtrack is absolutely amazing, they really picked good good songs for each situation, fight/city/cutscene/etc. Graphics looks amazing, I played on max and the reflections, water, neon lights looked so beautiful and it did created amazing cyberpunk atmoshphere, plus the build of the map where you have stairs and can just switch levels and amazing looking interiors really caught my eye, this is one of the best looking cyberpunk games what I played. The Main story was good but little too much dialogue on my taste, cutscenes look amazing and there is lot of them in second half of the game, I didn't do much side quests but the ones what I did have some story and were made to be interesting not the classic go kill/pick up and go back. There is big selection of armors and weapons but one of my main problems was enemy scaling most weapons just didn't do any damage and due to lack of upgrade resources and enemies level, I was using one weapon from start of the game till end since it was only weapon upgraded and only what did some damage. On the other side the augment system is amazing and it can help you to kill enemies with ease so don't sleep on it. Overall the gun play and movement was fun and entertaining for me. I played the game in coop and there is some issues game was frequently lagging the other player cutscenes audio was delayed for one of us, or if you were in shop when other player started talking you missed cutscene completely, also the game kept crashing and it did needed to be shut and restarted. Overall I would say the game is worth the $$$ even if you do mostly the story like me and finish in 12h.
