We spoke to developer Neon Giant about releasing its first game as a team, and delivering AAA quality on budget. We awarded it 4/5 in our review, and it ended up on James' GOTY list. We're big fans of The Ascent around here. If you've yet to play The Ascent, you may want to pick up the Cyber Edition, which includes the main game, all previously-released DLC packages, as well as Cyber Heist. The trailer shows the new melee moves briefly, and it looks to be a viable style of play that could sit alongside ranged weapons. There's a host of new weapons and tech to acquire, most notably advanced melee combat. While the instructions as to what to do are clear, kill ten enemies using stasis overcharge, the actual question is what exactly is that and how to do it. Along the way, of course, you'll cross paths with new enemies, get introduced to new characters, and explore new environments. From the many side-missions you will handle in The Ascent, the Double Charge is one of the early ones that you will be scratching your head about. During or after a cutscene, it is common for the character to appear invisible. We quickly take a look at the final mission details and also the CODEX for Project MenShen. Cutscenes are a huge issue in this game, at least in co-op mode. Playable solo or in co-op, the new missions are only accessible after completing the main campaign - but only the host needs to have finished the campaign. Last mission walkthrough for UNHANDLEDEXCEPTION We briefly discuss our build right at the start going through what weapons/armor/augs we have on and also what skill points we chose. The story takes place after the events of the main campaign, with Kira offering you a new job. Cyber Heist adds new main and side mission chains, set in a new Malhorst-Gelb-owned arcology. The add-on arrives August 18, priced $10/€10/£8. Neon Giant today revealed Cyber Heist, a major new DLC for The Ascent. But no meaningful new content made it into the game since then, and this is about to change. Shields indicate that the storyline is available only to those players who have. Most notably, The Ascent arrived on PlayStation, and received various bits of smaller add-ons. A list of all Quests, grouped under their respective Volumes in the Story. The game has made huge strides since its release last summer. Today is a good day for fans of last year's GOTY contender The Ascent, the top-down shooter from Neon Giant.
