Ascendancy is one of my favourite TTRPGs out there. Until I played it, I had never played a game that can at once perfectly capture the deeply interpersonal, techno-mystical vibes of Symphogear, the over the top urban epic fantasy of Kekkai Sensen, and the quiet, dark, moody rain drenched cyberpunk of Blade Runner, all within the same session. I also never realised that that was the exact sort of game I had been desperately wanting.

A deeply meaningful game about rebellion, self-acceptance, and finding identity as an adult in an adult world, Ascendancy is a game that should be on everyone's radars.
