Although I never did play the original Descent games, years ago (and I am old enough, I just never got around to it), I am glad I have bought this one, as it's really a lot fun. This is a very good action/shooter game and well worth the price -- although I got it on sale for half off. In any case, it's a lot of fun. The level designs are interesting, the enemy characters (the auto-ops) are challenging but not overly hard to fight, and the action is pretty fast-paced and pretty intense. The weapon system is also well-designed. Overall, I would recommend this game to any gamer who likes these sorts of games. It's also a nice bonus that this is available for Linux, as I much prefer gaming on this platform. Kudos to Revival for bringing it to Linux.
