Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 4.44/day in the week to Aug 4 → 31.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About

Welcome to The Ascent Group arcology, a corporate-run metropolis stretching high into the sky and filled with creatures from all over the galaxy. You play as a worker, enslaved by the company that owns you and everyone else in your district. One day, you are suddenly caught in a vortex of catastrophic events: The Ascent Group shuts down for unknown reasons and the survival of your district is threatened. You must take up arms and embark on a new mission to find out what started it all.
You belong to the corporation. Can you survive without it?

Aim low or high, switch weapons and equip lethal gadgets, take cover and use the destructible environments at your advantage and keep adjusting your tactic as you face new enemies.
Customize your character with cyberware that suits your playstyle. Allocate new skill points as you level-up and try various augmentations to take down your enemies in new creative ways.
Meet new allies and enemies and find loot as you explore the brimming world of The Ascent and its wide range of districts, from the deep slums to the higher luxury spheres.

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.
I played solo through the main game and DLC, had some issues with the game crashing at first, i believe i switched to DX11 and the crashing stopped, the only other issue i got was a bug where my character would get stuck if i attempted to fast travel too quickly after a loading screen, all i could do there is relaunch the game. This is by far one of my favorite games when it comes to the aesthetics and visuals the Cyberpunk genre can offer. I'm not even an avid fan of twin-stick shooters, and, the rpg systems and mechanics in here are nothing groundbreaking, but holy. crap. the. vibes. of. this. game! Whatever you do, you just have bangers tunes playing in the background, meaty audio for the guns (The Dealbreaker, my love) great visuals (in and out of combat), great ambiences and even greater vistas (The few moments the camera pans over to the mega structure(s) in the distance all deserve some of your time to just take it in)

хороший визуал, неплохой геймлпей. вопросы только к экономике и прокачке вооружения, но своих денег стоит
Колоритный киберпанковский боевик с видом сверху. Красивые, атмосферные локации. Планета-улей Велес. Мы в качестве наёмника корпорации Ascent выполняем задания для различных группировок. В наличии десятки пушек, аугментации, броня, бодрый саундтрек, частично разрушаемое окружение и враги отлетающие от взрывов в разные стороны. Можно проходить в кооперативе. Любителям Deus Ex и Redeemer всячески рекомедую!
very fun
buggy as ♥♥♥♥
great solid game not a single crash on solo i have not played online so i cant say. if you want to play this game and have some money get the 3D monitor from Samsung you will not regret but please be aware this could result in your head been freaking blown away its freaking amazing on a level your cant understand till you see it your self. I also recommend this for the devs they will be amazed how amazing this looks in 3D YOU DONT NEED ANY 3D GLASSED IT USES EYE TRACKING this game was made in a way were it looks beautiful in 3D thanks devs for making it.
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.
I dig it? On sale its a nice time killer, I play it on my rog on camping trips and outings,
good
