/vr/ - Retro Games

This is the first thing I have read that made me consider playing Doom 3, nicely written. Maybe I'll pick it up on a sale at some point.

Have you tried DESYNC? http://www.desync-game.com/
Linear game, each level is a sequence of arena encounters. Will not scratch the exploration itch but the arenas tend to be interesting places to fight. I found it to be mostly about movement and situational awareness, and had a lot of fun with it.
It sounds like DESYNC is faster and a bit looser than Doom 3. You want no-damage runs while keeping the pace up to get the highest score. The arena itself is also a formidable enemy at times (pic very much related). I haven't played it for a while except to take that screenshot but I still love the game for doing its thing.

Apologies for rambling on about a game that is definitely not old enough to be retro, I may have gotten a little overexcited.
