The curious case of D2 missing something
It's rare nowadays that a sequel is on par with its predecessor. I see other reviews that are overwhelmingly positive. Yet somehow Descent 2 doesn't work for me. No, I don't have any technical issues. The concept is the same as in original Descent and Descent 3. Clear out the dungeons, kill bosses/reactors and run like hell. You have more arms than in Descent, the guidebot and other improvements. Technically Descent 2 is miles better than Descent. Yet Descent 2 still doesn't feel right for me. Descent and Descent 3 are fantastic - i absolutely love both games. My reception of Descent 2 is lukewarm at best. Maybe its grandiloquent but I believe Descent 2 is missing its soul. The music is dull compared to D1's or D3's scores. Level design in D2 doesn't 'feel right'. Gameplay feels alien. The game is not as engaging as the other two, in my opinion. I would wrong Descent 2 if i said the game is terrible - it is not. But I just don't enjoy it. I know this is a very different review than my usual routine. Normally I justify my reason when I criticize a game. But in this case there's noghting tangible to point out. This is a case that despite everything being in its place the game is missing that special something, its soul.
