April 2025

What a way to wrap up a massively enjoyable trilogy reboot series! Team17 really brought the story telling to another level in the final installment, got me fully invested and truly gripped my full attention. To be fair, there are certainly a few spots of jank specifically in Descent with some awkwardly executed Resident Evil style camera sections, but nothing egregious enough to take away from the overall solid gameplay. I'm glad I finally managed to finish this series (albeit about 15 years late :_D) and if I can get my hands on an original Amiga game, I want to go back and play the original and experience the roots of this highly underrated game!

While i do recommend this game , i do so with the warning that this game is best played in short bursts in between bigger games when your not sure what to play or just want a small game to pass the time before a big release. All the good will this game gained with me with the better controls and set-pieces was long burnt to ash by the time i got to the ending do to the constant back and forth between objectives and the constant ceaseless barrage of enemies, never giving time for the quieter moments to sink in.

If you liked the first two you will like this one as well; furthermore, this last chapter is the most challenging one and also has the best boss battles! :D You're welcome to come check out my blind playthrough of the game on elite difficulty on my lil lets play channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfEsf4qAxcY

Same review as in the case of the AB 2. It's mostly the same thing, so it applies: Although, technically speaking it's almost the same as the 1st game, this one—especially towards the end—tends to be more of a frustration-fest than an actual challenge. During the first half, it's okay to save up ammo through 'tactical back-paddling while shooting the pistol'; it adds to the tension and thus it enriches the gameplay, sorta'. But later on, enemies start to pop up from everywhere, figuratively speaking at 'every other step you make'. And that's a problem. It's not like it is too difficult, no, you can get through with a reasonably non-high amount of player's skill, but the thing is you *won't ever* have enough ammo to advanced weapons, and you absolutely have to kill the majority of aliens with your low-damage, non-upgradable, little-to-no-stopping-power, pistol. If you want to save up ammo for the onslaughts, that is. And since it is painfully slow to kill anything but the small isopod-like critters, so is your advancement. A slog fest, really. I didn't finish the first one on Elite, I suppose this might be the difficulty thing. But still, under a well-thought-out difficulty, I'd have imagined enemies doing more damage, you having slightly less ammo, maybe a bit more aliens, too. But not this. Not a long-lost brother to bloated HP trope: enemies in galore that you have to take one by one with a pea-shooter. I recommend it still, because it has a solid atmosphere, and for a large part, the game is a no-brainer, okay fun, with ocassional new gameplay elements refreshing the overal feel. But, man, the last third of the gameplay near the end could've/should've really been handled better.

April 2024

All three of the game's series are a solid isometric/third person twin stick shooter. Although made in 2010, they still feel great to play, the handling are smooth and pretty precise. If you can ignore the bad UI+map background (pretty hard to see the map with background so bright, especially the 3rd of the series), the constant back and forth task, the many explosions and screen shake that make Michael Bay ashamed, outdated graphic, cheesy story/dialogue (which plague old games title), you should really try this game. I goit it for pretty cheap bundled :)
