It has a life of its own and its inhabitants are quite unique. The Arcology is by far one of the coolest game locations to date for me. It makes it important to always check out what your enemies drop and if you missed any crates along your route. You can find new weapons, skins, armor, and augmentations just to name a few. When you aren’t cutting down baddies or upgrading your character, you’ll also be scouring The Arcology for all kinds of collectibles to make your character their battle-ready-best. They’re cool to play around with and I’m glad that they were there because what would an RPG be without them? These too will give you improvements and even special abilities in battle. It’s just as you would think you have different skills and attributes that you can upgrade in order to be more efficient as well as the ability to add cybernetic modifications to yourself as well through augmentations. Next comes the RPG portion of the gameplay. These were enough to grind my gears but kept it realistic. The bosses too are fun to fight and they also came across just challenging enough to kill me a time or two before I knew how to get things done. Each one even has its own unique enemy types that were a curveball to be sure in some instances. The game tosses many different enemies at you from various factions as well. It had been a while since I’ve played a game even remotely close to this so I was pleasantly surprised at just how much of a good time I was having with it. It also helps that traversal within the game is also very smooth and your character doesn’t seem to move too slow either. Shooting is extremely fun because of its twin-stick type of style and there are a ton of guns to get used to. Because it’s both parts shooting and RPG, this is a pretty fine balance between the two that keeps the gameplay interesting. I knew there’d be some shooting but I wasn’t so sure about how its other mechanics would be implemented. Going into this title, I wasn’t sure what to expect in every facet of gameplay. Because of this, the story felt like it took a backseat in comparison. It’s pretty clear that the dev’s main focus was on creating fun gameplay and a unique world for said gameplay to take part in. I found the story to be serviceable overall. Now it’s up to you to fight for your district in order to keep things running smoothly. But one day The Ascent Group abruptly closes and you find yourself in the middle of catastrophic events. It’s a corporate-run metropolis where everyone and everything is owned by the group. The game’s story is set in the Cyberpunk city, The Arcology which is run by The Ascent Group. The Ascent does everything right by the genre, and while it may not be a perfect game, it definitely is a fun one. While a specific one at the tail-end of 2020 may have left a sour taste in some of our mouths about the aesthetic and themes that fit this genre, it seems Neon Giant was able to give me that love I once had for it once again.
