Well me and some buddies gave The Ascent a shot on Gamepass PC. Singleplayer seems alright, but coop is a broken mess. Multiple random disconnects, players spawning into walls and needing to leave and rejoin, tutorial screens popping up mid-battle with no pausing in coop, so you get downed before having a chance to remove the popup. And one player going down is ok as long as you revive them, but if you can't reach them in time and they die then the whole party gets a game over screen and they have to reload. Also no way to mute in-game chat or change it to push-to-talk, so if you're using Discord you have to go into Windows settings and deny mic privileges to the game to avoid echoing
It's very obvious that coop was tacked on at the last minute with zero thought, glad we tried it through Gamepass without spending any extra money on it
