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

Wow, I guess people are this lazy and can't find and run a simple source port. Let's be clear about what you're getting here; the contents of the retail CD-ROM from 1995. Nothing more. It opens in DOSBox. There is a free source port available for both Descent 1 and 2 called "DXX REbirth." It makes Descent 1 and 2 100% customizable on modern PCs and you only have to copy the game files from the Steam folder to the download folder. For $5, this is reasonable. My favorite studio on Steam; Nightdive, will charge around $20 for his complete remasters of Forsaken or Turok which look and run like modern games thanks to his tweaks and updates and reskins, etc. This is just the base game you can throw in the source port and it's totally worth it, especially on sale. Please stop complaining about not being able to run it like the blobs from Wall-E.
Fun game. A little tougher than the previous games. Despite what the system requirements say, this game requires a "more than decent" (no pun intended) Rig to play this game. I can make a lot of nitpicking about the overly sensitive aiming, but for what it is, Descent 3 is a cool game.
I can't reccomend this game. While I enjoyed (and still enjoy) Descent 1 and 2, Descent 3 feels and looks worse than 1 and 2. If you do get this game, I would reccomend getting it through GOG or some other site other than steam, and only at a heavy discount.
What was probably the most unexpected and welcomed addition into the Desccent universe, oh my, this game has it all and the engine they used worked perfect as far as I am concerned. This feels like a major step in the evolution of the game and the mechanics show it. This game is very fun for anyone who played the first 2 and as I said it was just amazing. If you don't own this already, you need to.
Игра замечательно работает под Win 10. Нужно приложить "немного" фантазии для того чтобы оно запустилось и не совсем здравого смысла в настройках мыши (это по сути самое главное, чтобы играть). Игра для того времени топовая, да и сейчас в нее можно погонять + есть моды на графику. Это по сути контра на космических болидах. Одиночку проходить смысл есть ))
Descent 3, un jeu qui a su apporter une nouvelle dimension à la trilogie tant appréciée. Malgré les réactions mitigées des fans, j'ai personnellement été conquis par cette expérience immersive et captivante. Le jeu nous plonge dans un univers futuriste et oppressant, où nous incarnons un pilote intrépide naviguant à travers des environnements hostiles et dangereux. Les graphismes époustouflants et la bande sonore envoûtante contribuent à créer une atmosphère unique, nous transportant littéralement aux confins de l'espace. Mais ce qui m'a vraiment enchanté dans Descent 3, c'est la diversité des missions et des défis à relever. Chaque niveau est une nouvelle aventure, avec ses propres enjeux et son lot de surprises. La jouabilité fluide et intuitive permet une immersion totale, nous permettant de vivre pleinement l'action et l'adrénaline qui en découlent. Malgré les critiques, il reste pour moi une véritable pépite vidéoludique. Ce jeu m'a procuré des heures de plaisir et d'excitation, me laissant des souvenirs mémorables que je chérirai toujours. Si vous êtes en quête d'une expérience de jeu unique et inoubliable, je ne peux que vous recommander de plonger dans l'univers fascinant de Descent 3.
Diferentemente da versão 1 e 2, esta versão 3 não tem o mapa 3D. O robô guia não ajuda muito. A movimentação utilizando o controle do PS4 é mais difícil do que na versão 1 e 2.
You should play this game in 2025 for the AI on enemies and simple yet exciting level design!
