The Ascent Review: Top-Down Sci-Fi for Diablo Fans

The Ascent has big ambitions, bigger guns, and enough chaotic energy to fuel a one-way trip to a future that will almost certainly get you hooked. Special thanks to Doctor V's Brain Storm, the all-natural energy drink that kept us up all night for The Ascent's review embargo: https://doctorv.com.au/brain/ In The Ascent, you play as a servant indentured to a slumlord type that goes by the name Poone. This disgusting, foul mouthed, Jabba the Hutt wannabe acts as your mission HQ, dishing out quests and tasks that relate to his plans to conquer all those above him.  It’s hardly original, but it does an acceptable job of quickly providing a doorway into the world, putting a weapon in your hands, and letting you get to what the game does well: shooting everything that moves.  But The Ascent has one character that fascinates, stuns, and impresses with surprising regularity: the gorgeously rendered world.  Despite an admitted lack of true interactivity, the world of The Ascent does a fantastic job transporting the player into an exciting far-future dystopia, one that takes its cues from Star Wars, Mass Effect, and Cyberpunk 2077.  The other thing, of course is, the combat. The Ascent gameplay is all about twin-stick, top-down shooting that gives you loads of guns, cyber augmentations (which function as timed combat abilities), and a seemingly bottomless sea of killable enemies.  Some of the world's denizens are big, some small. Some are aliens and some are robots, while others are plain old cyber-enhanced humans. The one thing they all have in common is that they can generally be killed without consequence. Stray bullets hitting innocents isn’t of any concern either – something which I will admit took a little getting used to.  The action of The Ascent is a chaotic, adrenaline-inducing good time, and I’m pleased to report it only gets more rewarding the further into the game you progress. If you're looking for a pulpy, sci-romp romp that has more bullets than brains, and are prepared to forgive a few rough edges, The Ascent is a solid offering. Its chaotic brand of shooting and looting is sure to win more than a few admirers - and all things considered, it just about deserves to. The Ascent is available now on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC. Produced by Clocked: https://happymag.tv/clocked/ #TheAscent #Gaming #PCGaming #Clocked #HappyMag
