For anyone who enjoyed Descent, please go buy Overload. It's a pretty much perfect spiritual sequel, with a great soundtrack. And I believe made by some of the people that formerly worked on Descent.

However this version uses mouse up/down to do up/down, and that seems so wrong. Can't play it :(

Seeing this kind of games so beloved by the HN greybeards, makes you wonder what will be the equivalent nostalgia games for the next generation. Pokemon red maybe? Perhaps Fortnite?
Minecraft, very likely.

And it supports VR if you really need to separate yourself from your lunch.
It also really helps immerse you in the “there’s no up/down” feeling.
Sure, you start feeling sick after a few minutes, but it’s such a fun few minutes that you can’t wait to do it again.
I absolutely LOVED this game when it first came out. I played with a trackball + keyboard, and the 6 degrees of freedom, paired with an environment where there often was no natural sense of "up" or "down" (zero gravity, inside tunnels) really blew my mind. I experienced a sensation I had never before experienced, almost out-of-body. For example, you approach a "T" junction, and depending on your pitch angle, the bran…
It always took a while each session to get to that point, but once you were there it all just starting flowed so damn well, and manoeuvring the tunnels became so much faster/easier.
