Deal | A Lenovo free game giveaway is for a popular cyberpunk RPG shooter that sells for $30 on Steam

The Lenovo Legion Gaming Community is featuring Neon Giant's futuristic action RPG in its free game giveaway. The Ascent is an isometric, twin-stick shooter with a similar setting to Cyberpunk 2077. Released in 2021, with intuitive controls, it enjoys mostly positive Steam reviews. Starting on June 5th, Lenovo is handing out vouchers redeemable through Gamesplanet for a Steam key.

The PC manufacturer explains that vouchers aren't unlimited, so gamers shouldn't procrastinate long. Once players receive the code from the offer page, they should head to Gamesplanet. Either a Lenovo or Gamesplanet account is necessary to download the free Steam game. The landing page for the deal outlines the final steps to redeem the voucher.

Despite having futuristic locations, The Ascent and Cyberpunk 2077 are different games. The Ascent is more action-oriented, while CD Projekt Red's title has open-world maps with extended dialogue. Neon Giant's title doesn't push hardware to its limits like Cyberpunk 2077, but gamers find its metropolis environments immersive. Vivid neon signs shine during frantic nighttime combat, and there is enough level variety to keep players engaged.

Gamers praise The Ascent for a combat system that becomes comfortable with limited playtime. With a dual-stick system, one joystick moves characters while the opposite stick zeros in on targets. However, fighting off endless swarms of enemies can become tiring. Players may switch to another game after an hour, but a rewarding weapon upgrade system lures them back. The Ascent also offers RPG mechanics, such as skill trees, that mindless shooters often lack.

Considering its small development team, most buyers find that The Ascent offers enough value for its $29.99 price. The Lenovo free game giveaway is likely to rejuvenate the game's Steam player count.
