The Ascent

nice if you like cyberpunk and isometric 3d. kinda hard, should reduce the difficulty to easy if you r not co-oping

-This game has amazing graphics and amazing worldbuilding. I loved the plot and world in general. Everything looked cool. The entire world really felt alive and I loved all the alien species, factions, and locations. -I loved the character customization. Skills, augmentations, armor, and weapons could all be tuned to your preferences. I do think that some weapons are just objectively better dps-wise though (the two burst assault rifles and the flamethrower were the strongest weapons IMO) -The combat was pretty enjoyable, but I can understand why people find it repetitive. It mainly consists of finding cover, crouching, and aiming over cover. Depending on the building and terrain you can get more creative than that, but not often. -The game's top-down FOV appears to be 60 at base level and that is way too zoomed in. Enemies were shooting me from off screen almost every combat. I fixed this using outside software (UltraPlus for The Ascent) and it was way better. -This game has a problem with its key-binding system. I rebound every key and 3 of them would "turn off" somehow every death, map transition, and game restart. I would have to rebind them every time they "turned off". I enjoyed it even with those two above issues which took me a bit to figure out, but they were frustrating to deal with at the time, and every time I died.

Great cyberpunk atmosphere and satisfying combat, but the difficulty spikes and lack of reliable healing can be brutal. Frustrating as hell at times, but still worth finishing.

very fun

First and foremost, it’s a gorgeous game. The music during combat is brilliant too, and I found myself headbanging a few times. Although it’s a bit buggy, and on a few occasions my character started taking on a life of its own and running off in a random direction. Or a quest would get stuck in a soft lock and stop enemies from spawning. I had a great time playing it.

Despite all it's good qualities (Fun shooting, great enviroments, lore etc...) it is so tedious getting from A to B, it sucks all the found out of the game.
