Descent was cool for me until I got burned out on having to escape
every cave with the timer running. One of those "beat the countdown"
missions is OK in a game, 25 isn't. Maybe I missed out, but I never
tried either sequel based on that experience.

Still willing to give the new game a look though. I loved the freedom
of movement.
