A new six-degree-of-freedom shooter with intuitive controls, amazing lighting and graphics. From the creators of Descent, Overload is the best zero-gravity robot-blasting combat ever.
Ping MS! This should be on Game pass for a month to draw some attention!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
Ever since I discovered this game on XB1 I haven't been able to stop playing it...10/10 ! A must own for any gamer looking for action shooting perfection! The main campaign is a standard "save the galaxy" one mission at a time story, but where this game truly shines is in the survival challenge modes, they are endless battles with scaling difficulty, that become more and more frantic as your score increases, and each kill gives you xp for permanent upgrade unlocks, and you get temporary weapon upgrades during each run, and xp earned while playing the campaign carries over to survival and vice-versa. Each campaign mission also has some hidden goodies to find if you ignore the holo-guide and freely explore. All-in-all OVERLOAD is nonstop challenging action that will keep you coming back for more, 100% FUN and ADDICTING. This is the much needed true DESCENT sequel we been waiting a long time for

The Ultimate Descent experience!
Absolutely incredible spiritual successor to Descent! The graphics are stunning and, unless I'm mistaken, this game appears to be the first or only game on Xbox One to allow DISABLING Vsync in video settings! The results of doing so are astonishing; with a 120hz screen there's a clear difference in performance mode clearly hitting well above the usual 60 (on Xbox One X), and in quality mode it seems to be feeling around 40-50 but with vsync enabled of course it locks down to 30. Controls are fluid and responsive, and for controls there are more options than you can shake a stick at!
The combat is intense and will make your hands sweat just like the originals, love the banging soundtrack too, all in all an incredible experience, well worth the wait!
Looking forward to the multiplayer once other Xbox players can get their hands on this!

Excellent! More than just a "Descent" remake.
The vibe is real! If you ever played the Descent games on PC or Playstation, this game is well worth the price of admission!

Simply Amazing!
I never played any of the Descent games, didn't even know they existed before seeing the teaser for this game. I just knew I had to have it. And it's even more fun than I had hoped. Flying your craft feels intuitive and is really immersive. The shooting is tight and all the weapons feel great. The graphics are crisp and the explosions look amazing.
The customization options put all the major AAA game developers to shame. You can make this game play exactly how you want. The controls are FULLY customizable, the FOV and HUD are customizable, even the ability to turn off V-sync to boost performance. I hope other game creators take notes because this is how the options should be for games in 2019.
The fun factor is set to 11 in this game. The levels are large and exploring them with an itchy trigger finger is a blast. The music fits the game so well and keeps you in the mood to keep shooting down enemies. I'm so glad I took a chance and picked this up. I've found my go to game!
