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 2,515 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.

Fun ARPG in a beautiful yet grim setting. The story and voice acting is better than expected for this type of game. Combat is fun and different weapon types and augmentations (abilities) give good variation. Combat does get a bit repetitive near the end, there is a bit too much running around and the fast travel system does not work as well as it could, and the game crashed 4-5 times while I played it. I also had to setup a FPS limit for the game in the Nvidia control panel because it otherwise insisted on running my graphics card on full power. Still, it doesn't take away that I had fun. It does not take away that is
Beautiful game with deep world building. Highly recommend if you are into the cyberpunk genre. I am not a normal top down/3rd person player much these days but the mechanics of the game are well fleshed out and flow nicely. For the perspective and angles, this is among the most detailed and aesthetically gorgeous games I've ever played. I really hope we get a sequel soon.

this game knows how to party!
Positives: The setting is very immersive, really gives off a cyberpunk vibe. The dialog is humorous, as well as some of the side-quests being relatively easy. For a small dev-team it's impressive how good the game looks. Not bad for a single-player experience. Negatives: Multiplayer is absolutely broken. Couch co-op was relatively smooth, but Steam Play Together was lagging and buggy. Internet speed is of no issue. We thought purchasing the game for the other account would fix it, but it's almost impossible to load in (getting stuck in first-person camera and can't move) or the lag would be so bad when I do load in that enemies would be T-posing and my character would have no equipment. Even uninstalling and re-installing the game did not fix it. Buying this game for multiplayer-purposes is not recomended.
Wow, really thought this was more stable by now. Guess it's another abadoned game where the devs went 'meh .. good enough'. Can't recommend this mess, not even in a sale. Fun with friends but it constantly crashes: - while fighting - while walking - while shopping There's also dents in the world where you can fall under the map or get stuck in the environment. Your deaths or resets don't matter though, making it easy to get back to where the game kicked you out.

Cool gameplay and music but its crashing constantly after like 20 min or 30. some people say the devs abandoned the game so there is no update fix. people come with solution for a "temporarily" but noting works
This game one of the reason why the Cyberpunk genre will always have a place in my top games to go for. I love the music and fast action gameplay and it looks great on the Ulatrawide monitor with some help from the Nexus crew for support. Awesome time playing in this Cyberpunk world..
1.玩法很无聊。作为俯视角的动作射击RPG,游戏没有深度构筑角色能力,技能点最高20级,技能加成蚊子腿,技能全部都是被动技能,只加数值,不改变机制。武器种类较少,很多武器难用/没有用。市面上那么多RPG,抄都不会吗? 2.剧情无聊。剧情演出像MMD动画,人物动作僵硬,穿模频繁出现。支线/主线剧情和通马桶一样,来来回回要么找东西,要么防守站点,没有解密。剧情对世界观的构建一般般。 3.画面很奇怪。俯视角下,赛博都市的远景咋看还行,实际上只有表面美术,没有内核,大量堆砌霓虹灯和东亚文字。虚幻引擎导致画面油腻,容易审美疲劳。 4.优化略糟糕。虽然游戏配置要求不高,但游玩过程中很容易奔溃,卡死,闪退(大约2个小时出现一次)。 5.地图设计糟糕。整体地图存在高低差,但地图界面完全无法转动视角,无法在地图上标点,对路痴不友好,寻找箱子略困难。 6.汉化糟糕,存在大量机翻,个别漏翻,UI界面没有设计感。 不建议游玩这款游戏
В целом палец в верх. Но игра маленькая. По сути за 21,5ч пропылесосил всю карту. Геймплей простенький=бегай и стреляй. А вот дизайнерам конечно крепко жму руку. Все красиво, насыщено и сочно.
