Did you miss this cyberpunk gem? The Ascent and Cyber Heist DLC
35The Ascent, developed by Neon Giant, launched in 2021 as an Xbox console exclusive alongside PC. Since it wasn't available on PlayStation at release, many playstation gamers missed out on its cyberpunk-inspired, action-packed RPG experience.
However, the game eventually made its way to PlayStation platforms in 2022, giving a wider audience the chance to dive into its gritty, neon-lit world. Despite its initial exclusivity, The Ascent gained a solid following for its stunning visuals, deep RPG mechanics, and intense twin-stick shooter gameplay.
The game is on discount and is definitely a good pickup—especially now that it’s had time to mature with patches and updates. You’ll get to enjoy the stunning visuals, chaotic gunfights, and lore-drenched world without the launch-day bugs that frustrated early players.
If you're diving in, here are a few quick tips to make your first few hours smoother:
Invest in crowd-control abilities early, like Stasis Drone or Hydraulic Slam—they’re life-savers when enemies swarm you.
Don’t ignore the side quests—they’re surprisingly rich in world-building and often reward you with powerful gear or augments.
Keep an eye on enemy resistances and switch weapons accordingly (there’s no shame in rocking a laser rifle if it melts shields!).
