Ascenders: Beyond The Peak is a new turn-based roguelite in which a bunch of alpine occultists try to recover cursed artefacts from Lovecraftian mountains, before the world ends.

Instead, these are designed to provide additional features for the most committed and advanced players. Presumably, Wemade hopes that some who play the Steam version will,…

When Pico launched its Oculus Quest challenger in China last year, it did so with great optimism. Light (295 grams) and affordable ($420), the virtual reality headset released by the ByteDance-owned manufacturer was expected to drive adoption in a market inaccessible to Meta.
