Welcome back Link Cable Gaming followers, to this week’s review of The Ascent. Developed by Neon Giant and published by Curve Digital, The Ascent was released on July 29th, 2021 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. Since its reveal back in May 2020, I’ve been waiting to finally get a chance to play this new cyberpunk IP developed by the small team at Neon Giant. With the recent release of Cyberpunk 2077, I was anxious to see how The Ascent would fare against a modern-day blockbuster game like that. To find that out, join us today for our review of The Ascent.

Daily Video Game writes:"If you're in the market for new games, Amazon is offering decent discounts on dozens of select action-adventure, RPG, sports, and simulation games across multiple gaming platforms right now, featuring popular titles like The Quarry, WWE 2K22, and more on sale."
The Ascent’s Cyber Heist DLC doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it provides a satisfying way of extending your enjoyment of one of the best ARPGs of recent memory. The reliance on a non-specific Macguffin means the story doesn’t have the agency it needs, but the excellent core gameplay makes this an enjoyable, if short, way for fans of The Ascent to extend their time in the game.
I really liked this game. It's simple but has some good segments where you have to think through how you are going to get out of here lol. I actually finished the game (I can't say that for a lot of games over the years.) I would give it a solid 8.
Hey there Software_Lover, thank you so much for your comment!
It really is a pretty good game, and there is a lot you're getting out of it for sure!
I hope you enjoyed it :)
