                    1. I'm going to start a thread of my stream-of-consciousness thoughts on The Ascent (NeonGiantGames), because if I wait until the end, I'll forget the little stuff.

                    First of all I want to start with an overall positive: I love this game! It's _really_, *really* good! I thought I was going to play an hour or two yesterday and wound up playing 5 hours. It's FUN!

                  It's astonishing that such a small team has made something like this, and I'm anxiously looking forward to A) more content for this game (pls! 🤞🏻) and B) more games from Neon Giant.

                ---- hard break ---- I'm learning that - apparently - the hardest things in games is navigation / maps. This is the second game in a row I've played where the maps were immense and twisty and clever, but the in-game map was nigh unusable.

              I _DEEPLY_ appreciate a fast travel system - especially when I can't make heads or tails of the map - but I'm always annoyed by systems that make me pay for it. Worse still, the fast travel system won't let me navigate among "tiers" in-game (these are essentially the "levels",

            with individual fast-travelable locations being points of interest within those levels). So ultimately - if I want to rapidly go from a high tier to a low tier - I'm still left trudging my way through a bunch of levels, getting lost, etc. Also known as: not rapid at all.

          I can justify this all sorts of ways in-game. For example: taxis and trains can't go "up" because of security levels or cultural norms or the technology just doesn't exist for slopes (??). Sure. But... like... also no. It's a game... you can tweak the world lore a tiny bit.

        ---- hard break ---- One time, after the cutscene for a new boss (the Megarachnoid), the boss didn't actually spawn in, so I was just trapped. There was no way out of the boss arena, and I couldn't progress. I had to reset.

      Another time, I did an evade roll, cracked open some crates and I was left stuck in the environment. No amount of moving, crouching, evade rolling, etc. budged me. I had to reset.
