The First 18 Minutes of The Ascent (4k 60fps)
912Check out the first minutes of The Ascent, the scifi twin-stick shooter now on Game Pass in 4k 60 fps.
The first game from developer Neon Giant games, The Ascent is a combo of isometric RPGs like Wasteland or Pillars of Eternity and twin-stick shooters like Dead Nation or Enter the Gungeon. Some folks have referred to it as "Cyberpunk Diablo," but it's less about a continuous loot grind than that might imply. Our previewer called it more like "cyberpunk Hunter the Reckoning," which - if you can remember back that far - sounds pretty rad. There is loot to be found, of course, but you're not just chasing the next weapon upgrade or armor set like in Diablo. The Ascent focuses much more on action than loot, with how you spec out your character being far more important than the loot itself.
Captured on a PC with an Nvidia 3090, AMD Ryzen 9 5950x CPU, and 64GB RAM 3600 DDR4 SDRAM.
