Finally completed The Ascent’s latest DLC, Cyber Heist, and it was a really tough final boss battle against Zell.

Halfway through the third quarter of the year and I’m checking out at least one new game (to me at least) and while I’m continuing on several older titles, one existing favourite has just received a new lease of life through a brand new DLC. Curious to find out more? Read on!
The Ascent is an isometric action-RPG in an amazingly cyberpunk-setting but also suffers from see-sawing difficulty. One minute you might be mowing down enemies like papier-mâché, the next you’ll be hitting a wall of enemies that seem impenetrable.
Now this game is known to have spikes in difficulty, and even though it has a handy “you should be at this level to attempt this quest” indicator, its often the journey across the cyberpunk arcology that will get you into trouble.
The Ascent on Xbox Series X|S and PC is an ARPG that does cyberpunk right, and together with Sable, are my choice of GOTY.
