Plays and feels like a love letter to Descent. It's a 6DOF FPS, or basically a "first person spaceship game". You navigate your way through space-age halls and tunnels, caverns, and caves while feeling utterly haunted by robot adversaries around every corner. Collect the goodies, blow the reactor, do it again. The crafting and inventory system is light and doesn't slow down the game's pace.

A perfect marriage of nostalgia and fresh ideas make it worth loving on its own merit. Sublevel Zero is tough as nails, beautiful, and immersive.

This is my all-time favorite game, so I'm biased. But I'd like to point out that this is my all-time favorite game for a reason. This is an FPS like no other. The movement system is fluid, the environments alien and haunting. The weapons are extremely balanced and the enemies are brutal. When I think Descent, I think of fighting the massive yellow level 7 boss with that industrial techno MIDI music pumping in my ears.

If you're not keen on vintage 90's PC games, the graphics and simplicity may be off-putting. Even if you're a veteran of DOS gaming, you owe it to yourself to experience Descent as played in a modern, OpenGL-rendered, high-resolution sourceport, such as DXX-Rebirth[dxx-rebirth.com] -- seriously. Buy the game off Steam, but play it in Rebirth for the modern looks and high resolution support.

Descent II on Steam when?
