What’s the best Descent-like modern game? Heavy emphasis on the importance of full 3D movement (3-axis rotation and 3-axis translation), maze-like levels, and a combination of time crunches with untimed puzzles. I loved Descent 2, but found the open spaces of Descent Freespace sorta boring.



Overload is the spiritually successor


Very likely Overload, yeah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overload_(video_game)

IMO they nailed the look and feel. I haven't gone too far in the game though, not a whole lot of time or carpal-tunnel-budget left for playing games sadly :|


There are some exercises that can help with carpal tunnel if you aren't too far gone yet. Get help from the physiotherapist or whatever it's called.


Tried joysticks? it can do twin joysticks


There is sublevel zero, also. It's a similar experience, but made for VR and has a procedurally generated map system that makes the playthroughs a bit different from time to time.
