Descent 3

Descent 3 is an excellent first person shooter that I haven't played in years. When I saw it on steam I was very glad they got this version to work and it is still one of my favorites next to the first one. Despite the hard controls, this game is worthy of buying if you have played the first two or like a real controlling challenge. If you can master this, the rest of the first person shooters will look like a cakewalk control wise. One word of advice. Don't use the mouse, and better start learning the old art of using just the keyboard and the numberpad. Good luck to those buying and have fun. lol

I know it says I don't have very many hours, but Steam reads the launcher as playing the game not the game itself, as of writing this, I probably have around 8 hours in game. Now remember, I write as someone steeped in nostalgia, since I literally grew up playing this game, so take my review with a grain of salt. This game is pretty clunky, and is difficult to get running on modern machines, but if you can get it running to where it works okay, this game is super fun. Even after all these years, this is still one of my favorite games of all time.

I'm so surprised that this game got a new Linux version.

I bought this game because of nostalgia. It runs surprisingly well, once you spend some time configuring it. I'm one of the few lucky people able to run it without issues or glitches. Weapons variety is good, but graphically-wise, it didn't age well at all and it doesn't support widescreen. Steam integration is not supported either. Your playtime only increases when the launcher is open. Once you press Play, you don't appear in-game anymore. Still, I do enjoy playing it. I would appreciate a remake by Nightdive Studios, they did a good job with Turok 2.

An excellent game which in my opinion did not get the attention it deserved. This game is one of the best games of it's time, published in 1999. Style is first person shooter against enemy robots with a story-line to follow.

Great game. for anyone have an error at the begining and then it crashes, in order for this game to work you must put it in you main hard drive

Come back. Descent 3 is good now!!! This game has taken a heavy hit to its reputation since its poor compatibility with modern systems . HOWEVER the source code for this has recently been released, so we finally got a proper source port for this gem. With PiccuEngine, Descent 3 runs like a charm on modern systems. Support for resolutions up to 4k, no more mouse issues, customizable FOV and an overall mighty fine smoothness. Getting Piccu to work is super easy. Just drag and drop a couple of files and rename two others. The game itself is a great evolution from the heavy mazes of its prequels. This time around, navigating the levels is much more intuitive, since you get discernable level layouts and landmarks. There is a lot to like in Descent 3 in 2025. Banger 6DOF game!

Mouse and Keyboard does not function together in descent 1 and 2 . Can’t change back And descent 3 link to DIRECTX is old. programm won't start

Easily the worst in the series. For completionists only. The controls aren't as fluid, the openness makes everything quite tedious (don't forget to get the log at the beginning of lvl 10 otherwise you have to go all the way back through the entire level just to pick it up and then go all the way back to the end of the level just to put it in a place and then win the level - 15 minutes of your life gone forever), whilst the high-manoeuvrability of the bots is quite frustrating. The animation and the graphics are better, so it's not all bad. But yeah, stick with 1 and 2. When I was younger I was surprised they didn't make a 4, but now that I'm older and wiser I know. It's because 3 sucks.

Very buggy game. Wouldn't even start up. Steam provided a refund. Thank you!
