Really fun, nice to have a challange

Good to have a Descent game done in modern times. The VR support is cool (no VR controller support though). I liked it was difficult. Really enjoyed it.

Great comeback.

Amazing, solid title. It plays very, very close to the original Descent 1 and 2, (unlike 3, which is horses**t, avoid that).

Descent Overloaded

This is not just the simple return of an icon who has made history in the beautiful world of video games. It is its enhanced, improved version. Superlative graphics, music and sound, with the action and gameplay of the real Descent (1 and 2). Well done.

True successor to the legendary Descent

I loved Descent, and Descent 2, and wasted many hours of my youth fighting my way through seemingly endless barrages of hostiles. Overload is FANTASTIC, from design to handling to navigation and the campaign is well thought out, beautifully scripted and really enjoyable. PLEASE consider releasing a proper DLC produced by the game designers, I'd be sure to buy it as would many I suspect.
