Developer Neon Giant is celebrating its third anniversary with a new trailer for its upcoming game, The Ascent, which follows a 4K gameplay trailer from March.

Either it is chock full of repeat textures... Or they do a lot with bump mapping (is that still a thing?) to make textures look different... or the game is going to be pretty dang short these days.

I read this was going to be a twin stick shooter. I'm all confused.

Yeah we'll see. I read the preview (IGN or PCGamer, cannot remember) and it sounds cool. I put it on my Steam wishlist... it's only $30 so I'm guessing some lightweight roguelike or twin stick shooter (aka Ruiner maybe, which doesn't get nearly the love it deserves). If you are brave and wish to pre-order (I'll pass, thanks) on Steam it's 10% off.

I have a feeling this will be in a Humble game bundle in a year or 2.

I admit I'm curious and like the visuals but I'll wait and see how it goes. I wish the best for them though. I plan to buy ME Legendary this weekend and depending on the Optix price(a post from today) I'm thinking about that as well.

I'm pretty sure it is but the idea is that it can be single player or co-op.
