The Ascent.
Bit of diablo, bit of Borderlands; good game but lacks variety and also has some insane jumps in the difficulty. Playing on Normal is hard enough with no extra payout. Hard is impossible unless you are absolutely perfect in execution. Might as well put it on Easy and just have fun endlessly blasting punks, mutants and machines because when you start dying in the first 2 seconds of every boss fight, it stops being fun.
There are a lot of indie games that suffer from this imo. Might be because they don’t have enough testers.
Yeah. It's a bit amateurish, but it's a cheap game too. They clearly spent a lot more time on the writing and visuals but really my only heavy criticism is that there isn't enough variety in how you play. There's basically just 1 build and 1 set of viable weapons. But if you just wanna turn your brain off and blow things up, it's an awesome game.
