The level of detail is at times utterly staggering, and the game isn’t afraid to shift away from the isometric viewpoint to show off the world. The grimy streets are strewn with detritus and dirt, bathed in neon signs advertising weapons, VR, drugs and everything else you can imagine. And I can’t even begin to tell you how absurdly gorgeous the game is. Obviously if you have Gamepass it isn’t much of a risk.īut there is good news the rest of The Ascent is honestly great. It looks like my specific problem is reasonably rare, but it’s still there and worth keeping in mind if you’re planning on buying The Ascent. I’m pointing this out purely so you guys have some warning.

Meanwhile, people on Reddit are reporting that co-op has quite a few issues, too. I’ve also had some issues with my weapon disappearing, Cyberdeck upgrades not showing, duplicate items not selling correctly, enemies getting locked into place and more. I encountered another example of a mission failing to trigger correctly, but thankfully that one was solved by restarting the game and going back in. I’d like to say this was the only bug I ran into, but it wasn’t. As always, he eloquently describes what I would mangle. Since you aren’t going to be getting my review for a while, might I interest you in Skill Up’s awesome video review? He likes the game more than I do and doesn’t seem to have had any problems with the game. I contacted the developers prior to launch about the problem and they are working on it, but I have no idea of the time frame. Nothing has worked, though, and thus I can’t get any further until its fixed.

I’ve attempted exhausting every dialogue option, completed all the side-content I can, restarted the game and even tried the PC Gamepass version, all in an effort to find a way around this frustrating issue. However, there’s some big bug that stops the quest progressing past this point, and sadly there are a few other unfortunate individuals on Reddit reporting the very same problem.
THE ASCENT UPDATE CODE
I was fortunate to get review code a few days prior to release, but sadly I’ve hit some big problems with the game, including one that has stopped me from getting anywhere near the end.īasically, during the main storyline you have to head to Cluster 13 and talk to a character called Kira.
THE ASCENT UPDATE UPDATE
I just wanted to give you a quick update because right about now my review of The Ascent, the new cyberpunk action-RPG available on Gamepass and Steam, should have been up.
