I strongly recommend: The Ascent (SkillUp)

The Ascent Review (IGN)

The Ascent Review (ACG)

It is a console exclusive (XBox) that is also available on different store fronts on PC (Steam etc). It has gotten some mixed reviews, but I think it looks interesting. I don't know if I'll be getting it right now since my PC leans towards the minimum recommended specs (according to Steam). I wanna be able to run this in 1080p @ 60fps on medium settings at least. There's a rumor that this game is a timed console exclusive, so if that's true there might be an option to play it on the PS5 later on.

I played around 30 minutes and deleted it, I don't find anything interesting, pretty common game and mechanics.
A little bit impatient are we? Giving up on a game after just 30 minutes, you must have barely scratched the surface of the game in that time. I'm not saying you are wrong about the game, because I simply don't know, since I haven't played it. I hope you got it on gamepass, so you didn't have to pay full price for it. ;)

not my type of game, maybe this is why, I love turn based isometric rpg, but this doesnt apply to futuristic games I suppose. Yes, played it on series s via gamepass.

Ok, that's fine, we all have different preferences. It's good that you didn't pay full price for the game, that would've been a waste of money. Personally I'm the opposite, I don't really like turn based combat at all, unless it's a board or card game. I prefer real time action and direct control over the character I'm playing.
