Still holds its own 25 years later
I recently finished all the Doom Eternal content on nightmare difficulty, and then went back to play Descent 2. This game holds up so well in comparison. One reason why the new Doom is so innovative is that it requires the mastery of "hardcore" controls combos, in 3 dimensions. This is something which Descent shares, which puts it decades ahead of its time in that regard. Descent 2 does not mess with the successful formula of the first title; it only fixes its biggest issues, and throws yet more interesting enemies and weapons into the mix. For example: you now have a cute Guide Bot so you do not keep having to check your map constantly, and the terrifying "glass cannon" hitscan enemies of Descent 1 are gone. If you buy any retro game, and don't mind putting a bit of time into learning novel mechanics, you definitely want this.
