    While the developers have nailed the sense of movement I've hankered for since Descent/II, the levels feel bland, enemies are hard to see and identify in the color scheme and weapons are hard to aim and feel generic. In combat I found myself just holding down the mouse buttons until the mess cleared before rushing to the end of the level to get it over with.

    Beautiful combat livens up Overload's tedious levels.

    Overload comes out of that school of thought that, in the 90s, made the FPS great: a fast-paced, fast, punitive and very particular shooter in its movement system. A title that carries that philosophy to the present day, but carries with it a loyalty to the past that structurally feels the weight of time.

    It's Descent with all its ups and downs: Fantastic playability, cool weapons and challenging levels, which are diminished by bleak environments and monotonous missions. So yeah, the game can feel a little outdated at times. But if you are a fan of the original two Descent games, that might be exactly what you are looking for. I had a blast.
