The latest venture into a Cyberpunk world, The Ascent is available now! We’ve been playing the game for a while now and are really enjoying it! It does a great job at nailing its aesthetics while offering fun gameplay that keeps the momentum going.
This game comes as an absolute win for Xbox and PC players as it’s available as part of Xbox Game Pass. So if you’ve been eying this one and you subscribe to Game Pass, you need to download this and try it out! The game can be played solo or with up to four players so get some friends to download it too.
It looks and runs extremely well and I can’t wait to put out my review for it which should land on the site this weekend. The Ascent is a great example of what can be accomplished by a passionate team no matter how small.
“About three years ago we founded Neon Giant; a small game dev studio with the belief that with the right focus and mindset, even just a few people can create grand experiences and high-quality games,” said Tor Frick, Creative Director and co-founder of Neon Giant. “We have a passion for creating living worlds and action gameplay - it’s in our DNA from our shared history in the industry and The Ascent is the result of our team’s passion and hard work.”
