The Ascent

Overall nice game, 6.5/10 BUT 1. Could use some form of teleport as in Diablo, because maps are large and labyrinthine, so getting to point A from point B is bit slow 2. DO NOT PLAY DLC with intention of finishing it as it experience weird raise in difficulty (hate Zell facility, its save spots and his guard) and boss Zell is bugged and can become invulnerable indefinitely

supa fun

I have mixed feelings about this one, flesh. It looks and sounds nice, and the writing is overall fine. But there are a lot of rough edges. Dropped once, but pushed through the second time. First - it really lacks polish - I didn't encounter anything really gamebreaking like some people - but there was a lot of very noticeable small things - getting stuck on invisible geometry, duplicate overlapping assets, etc. Second - most of the game design decisions felt raw. Some examples below. The most tedious part for me was traversing. The world is split in a few levels, let's call them acts. Within act you may travel by taxi - teleport you from any point to a set of given locations. Between acts you may travel by lift. But you can't take a taxi from one act directly to another. So if you get a quest that requires you to do smth in a different act - you call taxi to the lift, walk for a minute to the lift, take a lift, call a taxi to the needed location and walk for a minute of two to the quest zone. So three loading screens to get from A to B. It is not always the case - sometimes the whole quest line would be within one act - but it is also not a rare case. Combat felt a bit stiff, it was serviceable overall, but very repetitive. Rather little variety of enemies - there are literally the same dudes on the first and on the last levels of the game - just the numbers go up. Gear - just use the thing with bigger numbers. Bunch of systems - two types of augments, mods, stats, weapon levels - all of this has different vendor in the town - and all of it felt rather unnecessary. Like in the starting location in the very beginning of the game you may wonder into segment with lvl 20 enemies, and you're like lvl 5 - and it is a good farm - they die rather easily - despite tremendous dif in levels and lack of all the things mentioned above - augs, mods, etc. They also oneshot you - but they're melee so it is manageable. Progression overall felt rather unrewarding - you mostly find the same stock gear. So little point in buying anything, so money doesn't really matter, and in the mid-game and further the exp from mobs is rather negligible too. So like why even bother. So kinda worth checking for presentation, doesn't really worth finishing.

Quite a entertaining piece. Crashes time to time on linux tho.

Not an expert on writing this reviews so I will say that this game was and is fun this is a game that feels like the love child of Remnant: From the Ashes and Grim Dawn. I will also say that it has incredible city and industrial vistas, I say this because I am not a person that stops to smell the roses so to speak. The enemies are fun and challenging to fight for that reason weapon handling, evasion and vital signs are your beast friends when it comes to attributes. I also enjoy that their is no difficulty selection like any good "Soulslike" game. I got in to this game after watching a trailer for another one of Neon Giants game and after that video I found this game and I am very pleased with it. I hope that this studio continues working on this title and other games.
