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 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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?
Play the entire game alone or work together with up to three friends in local or online co-op.
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.

YES! I [b]Highly[/b] Recommend this game! Definitely 8/10. This game is gem and definitely worth the time and money if you like ARPG's (twin stick shooters), It's a Cyberpunk-esk dystopia without spoilers here. I first started playing this game on Xbox in 2021 and was instantly hooked! The world itself is beautiful but very industrial and not forgiving. As the games intro will explain it to you plain and simple. Gameplay is very beautiful, gritty and brutal. But i think it stands out, When it comes to it there's a few bugs here and there that a reboot won't fix. And you actually have to pay attention to your [b]Gear[/b] and [b]Augments[/b] if you want to enjoy this game. Yes, you can get overpowered in the beginning of the game if you're smart about it... I really don't have anything bad to say about this game other than i wish there are more games like this one.

This game is absolutely phenomenal, been playing for about 4 hours now over a few sessions. Every time I play I’m absolutely blown away by the sheer level of detail in the world. I can easily say it’s the most detailed world I’ve ever seen in any game, it’s so insanely layered and feels so lived-in and grimey. The lighting is amazing, the battles are great, guns feel like they have real weight to them, it’s such fun to play.
Sehr gut!
10/10
All the ARPG fun without any of the backpack tedium.
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..
Quite impresive!
Tried this game 5 years ago and bounced off of it, playing it now its a lot of fun and even just 2 hours in you can see the build variety. The world is front and center here, its truly beautiful and has amazing depth.
good graphics and good gamplay. Recommeded :-)
This game has furking everything. And it's beautiful! So beautiful... It's a clean 10/10 for me. They have nailed cyberpunk in every way that William Gibson could have dreamed, or Philip K. ♥♥♥♥ for that matter. The world building is exquisite. The combat gameplay has some great mechanics. Just wait until you try the 'pocket mech', holy moly xD Don't just buy this game. Play it.
