@@AmokCanuck historically twin-stick shooters were a genre that have you moving in a 2d, top down world with one stick, and shooting with the other. Look up Binding of Isaac or Enter the Gungeon for some modern examples.

@@MrEL91N Miles better than CP2077. I'm comparing them strictly as genre peaces. CP2077 focused more of their attention on Keanu, as well as licking the boots of alphabet crowd.

@@sallgoodman2323 It's awesome. You won't regret it. But soak it in for a while. It starts a bit slowish. You're pretty damn weak at the beginning. As you progress the gameplay will get crazier, plus there is a tactical edge to it, if you prefer to play that way. Most of the augmentations are pretty damn cool and useful in a right build. Trust me, I never fast traveled, not even once in the entire game. I bought every single weapon, armor, augment, tactical peice, and I tried most of them throughout the experience. Excellent game and a very good cyberpunk experience, especially after the extremely disappointing Cyberpunk 2077.

The Ascent is everything I'd hoped it would be, and I'm so grateful it exists. In a post CP2077 world while waiting for the game to actually be done I'm grateful this came about, and since I'm an isometric shooter fan more than pretty much any game, this was the game I'd needed and didnt even know I wanted.
