Overload

I used to be an avid Descent player back when I was a child. It really was the gateway game for me that brought me into PC gaming. Sadly, with the implosion of Parallax Studios and Interplay, what remained of Descent also imploded in the early 2000s.
That being said, I have not found a game quite like it, that plays and handles the same way since then, until I played Overload. I actually gave it a shot, and after some enjoyable game time, and some follow up research, I found that it was a group of the original Descent crew that put this project together. The music has the same grunge sound. The ship handling and level atmosphere are, for being a different engine, identical, in my opinion. I put on my VR headset with this a few times, and it was so realistic that I was getting dizzy.
I honestly wish my little brother hadn't passed away because he was my wingman in Descent when we were teens. I believe he would have enjoyed this just as much if he could get his hands on a pair of x-52's.
If I had to give this game a rating, it would be Descent/10 with a different name. I love it. If you liked Descent, you'll like this.

Pretty darn good, excellent unofficial sequel to Descent.
In VR? Probably one of the best VR games out there as well.

Awesome, feels exactly like Descent with updated graphics.

It's practically Descent 4. So 10/10, but a new franchise..... so you can start here
*thumbs up*

It's the Descent game you've been waiting for.
Nice visuals, smooth controls. Great level design as was the case with the original Descent games. Good sound as well. Story was fine, enough to keep you interested.
Good game, altogether. 9/10

It is reminiscent of Descent - but better!

If you liked Descent, you'll love this. I did ... and I do.
