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.

По началу довольно неплохая игра, пока не добираешься до последней локации, буквально за пол часа бракодел под названием "геймдизайнер" стирает все хорошие эмоции от игры и единственное что приходит на ум для описании игры после посещения данной локи - мусор. Не знаю кто там дизайнерил бункер 86 но искренне надеюсь что к геймдеву он больше отношения не имеет никакого... Игра просто вываливает на игрока орды мобов, пройти их не сложно а ОЧЕНЬ душно, конечно если этот кусок кода не баганет и персонаж просто не застрянет после рывка на одном месте, что к слову в этом месте я ловил трижды, но даже если все это "выстрадать" после мобья нас встречают 6 турелей с автонаведением и 2 гранамета которые с какого то перепуга периодически ваншотают на 3.5 полосы здоровья, и опять же не забываем что от турелей нужно постоянно уворачиваясь каждый раз надеясь что перс не застрянет... И при этом чекпоинт в начале и каждый раз нужно душится с этой кучей мобья. И это не говоря уже об отвратительной камере и отсутствия поддержки широких мониторов (только через сторонние утилиты). Вообщем в топку это изделие, даже по скидке жалко потраченного.

-This game has amazing graphics and amazing worldbuilding. I loved the plot and world in general. Everything looked cool. The entire world really felt alive and I loved all the alien species, factions, and locations. -I loved the character customization. Skills, augmentations, armor, and weapons could all be tuned to your preferences. I do think that some weapons are just objectively better dps-wise though (the two burst assault rifles and the flamethrower were the strongest weapons IMO) -The combat was pretty enjoyable, but I can understand why people find it repetitive. It mainly consists of finding cover, crouching, and aiming over cover. Depending on the building and terrain you can get more creative than that, but not often. -The game's top-down FOV appears to be 60 at base level and that is way too zoomed in. Enemies were shooting me from off screen almost every combat. I fixed this using outside software (UltraPlus for The Ascent) and it was way better. -This game has a problem with its key-binding system. I rebound every key and 3 of them would "turn off" somehow every death, map transition, and game restart. I would have to rebind them every time they "turned off". I enjoyed it even with those two above issues which took me a bit to figure out, but they were frustrating to deal with at the time, and every time I died.
This is a really cool game, but the single player feels vapid and I can't recommend a multiplayer game that's designed to crash when you play it with friends. The co-op has not been fixed, and it does not appear the developers have ever attempted to fix the issue, at any point, within the last half decade since release.
Из тех что заходит не сразу, тут не долго ждать, достаточно выбраться из первой локации на поверхность и все перед вами открывается киберпанк в изометрии, местами сложновата, но очень круто сделана. Вообще не пожалел что купил! Для инди игры прям очень круто выглядит. (Motion Blur в настройках выкл и станет значительно лучше)
nice if you like cyberpunk and isometric 3d. kinda hard, should reduce the difficulty to easy if you r not co-oping
Superb action, Veles looks great. Plot is not one of the most original ones, but enough to keep you invested.
The Ascent does important things quite good, shooting hoards of mobs to oblivion with minigun is very satisfying, graphics is stunning. but out of that, lots of things falls apart, QoL is non existent, we can only track 1 quest, the others only show on the mini map but not on the map, it's very annoying to track multiple quests. map is too complex, even in the city, it may look good but it sucks moving around. fast travel is limited to the same level, one elevator only connects two levels, need to go from one elevator to another all the time, the designer of this should be sterilized.
Everything looks really cool, but everything else is an example of what not to do. UI/HUD is awful, combat get's boring, story might be good but the gameplay is just not good enough for me to continue.
Постоянные вылеты и краши. Переставлял в настройках на DirectX 11 как советовали - без толку. Готика ремейк, контра, новые H&M, все нормально и четко работает, а эта нет. Даже без этих вылетов игра не зацепила. Покупал ее из за жанра и аутентичности киберпанка, картинка так то выглядела хорошо. Но к сожалению какая-то она слабоватая как и геймплеем, так и системой кача. Хорошо что брал по скидке 80%, а не за полную стоимость.
