In our review for The Ascent, Nick wrote, “Through no fault of its own, The Ascent has a bit of a mountain to climb. With its cyberpunk-adjacent sci-fi world, you can’t help but make some comparisons to Cyberpunk 2077, which was always going to be a tough act to follow, even with all its bad press. Despite my trepidation, The Ascent has turned out to be pretty darn good. The Ascent has got all the grimy character that you would want from its sci-fi cyberpunk setting, and there’s a great combat system to go with it. Simply put, The Ascent deserves your attention.”
