I’m always looking for games that I can couch co-op with my partner that we’ll both enjoy, especially when lockdown has us spending so much of our time at home, and The Ascent is definitely one of the most fun games we’ve played together in a long, long time. One of the highlights of The Ascent is how great the game is to play with friends.

It’s your job not just to figure out what happened to the Ascent Group but also how to make everything right again while stepping up and not letting rival corporations and syndicates do even more damage to Veles as they fight to seize control. The Ascent Group is a powerful mega-corporation that controls pretty much everything in Veles until they inevitably, yet mysteriously, end up collapsing, leaving the world in a chaotic free-for-all power struggle. You play as someone working for (read enslaved by) the Ascent Group. The basic gist of the story is that you find yourself in a futuristic/dystopian world called Veles. While the story didn’t seem to get much love, the world definitely did. The game feels rather meh and unmemorable, which is a pity considering how well all the characters are designed – of note also is the strong voice acting. The story isn’t exactly The Ascent’s strong point. The Ascent boasts an expansive world that perfectly captures the dystopian version of the future I was looking for in Cyberpunk 2077 but didn’t get.

The world is just the right amount of dirty and grungy to make the futuristic elements and the neon pop, and thanks to the game’s NPC’s, every area feels full and alive.

The base game is still available through Xbox Game Pass or can be purchased separately for £24.99.
The Cyber Heist DLC for The Ascent can be found on the Xbox Store now priced at £7.99/€9.99/$9.99.

So now you can get up close and personal with the new Rock Crusher and Guillotine!.Your squad hasn’t caught up with you yet? No problem, as long as you as the host has completed the main campaign, your squad can join up and help! (We know you’ll be carrying them anyway…) Bring your friends with you to take on this new challenging contract. CONTINUE THE STORY – SOLO OR IN CO-OP: The Ascent: Cyber Heist can be accessed once you’ve completed the base game campaign.It can be accessed upon completion of the main story, but for those playing in a group, only the leader needs to have completed the main event for the whole group to access. Once again, Cyber Heist will be playable in solo or co-op. And not just any weapons, but ones with names such as the Rock Crusher and Guillotine. Perhaps the biggest new addition in terms of combat is The Ascent is finally adding melee weapons for you to use.
