Tried The Ascent because of just how slick it looked in the previews I saw. And you're right, the atmosphere is great. But I have a low tolerance for the looter shooter format and I don't play much online coop, so I got real bored of it real fast.
I'm going forward just to see more of the environment, but I nearly gave up in the beginning for that reason. The gameplay itself is a bit stale, and it reminds me a lot of mobile games with how simple the combat and AI is. There's also no explicit "Exit Game" option, so when playing on Steam Deck, you have to open the menu and force exit.
If not for the highly detailed environments, I'd think it was a mobile port.
