Critic Reviews for The Ascent
Story isn't its strong suit, but the rest of The Ascent delivers a wonderfully realized cyberpunk world mixed with satisfying twin-stick gunplay to create an enjoyable action-RPG.
The Ascent's arcology setting is splendid, if heavily derivative - shame that all you can do here is gun and grind.
A lovingly crafted action RPG with challenging, satisfying gunfights and an extraordinary cyberpunk setting.
While The Ascent is a true visual showcase for the Xbox Series X, it lacks depth and clarity. There's a fun game in here, but it's ultimately overburdened.
The soundtrack is a highlight, with clear inspiration from some of the most iconic sci-fi scores in entertainment
The Ascent looks and acts like a video game, but mostly feels like work.
The Ascent’s ambition is often the most surprising thing about it. I went in expecting a decent, simple cyberpunk top-down shooter. Instead, I got a compelling action game that feels great to play, and an introduction into a world I can’t wait to see expanded in future sequels. The Ascent is the type of indie superstar game you bring up to prove how much can be accomplished by a small team today.
The cyberpunk world of The Ascent seems dazzling on the surface, but much like your standard cyberpunk world, the grime underneath all of the neon and futuristic landscapes ends up revealing a hefty mess once you go exploring it.
