We all love The Ascent – but the review broke our hearts, because at its core the game does so much right: it looks beautiful and motivates with a great spiral of items and brute combat.
When it works. And it does less and less the longer you play – especially not in co-op, which turned out to be almost unplayable. A day-one patch is supposed to fix some of the problems, but by far not all. Therefore, after our test, we can only urge caution.
The Ascent is so beautiful, so fun… and so broken
