The plot is that you are a worker in a cyberpunk dystopia ran by the Ascent Group which has its base of operations in a gigantic skyscraper that dominates the city's skyline. However, the company completely and suddenly dissolves overnight leading to a Game of Thrones-like showdown between all the city's businesses as they try to become the next monopoly. Naturally, you get caught up in the whole mess.
Back in May, we got hands-on with The Ascent and wrote up a preview where our lead review editor Sam Watanuki stated, "From the design of its open hub city to its combat, The Ascent pulled me into its world that feels like a healthy combination of Cloudpunk, The Fifth Element, and even Super Mario Bros. (the movie). I know what you're thinking, but that last comparison is absolutely a compliment."
Also joining the service today is another brand new release, Omno.
TheGamer gave a four-star rating out of five. We praised its "spectacular art direction, appropriate music, and host of fascinating ideas."
