Perfectly De(s)cent

It's Descent. You fly around in some caves, collect powerups/weapons and fight enemy robots. There's a limited variety in weapons (at least in the demo) but the dodging/shooting is smooth. Other than that it all feels rather dated. Secret rooms, keys, stuff like that. It feels a bit too 90s.

This review is based solely on the demo version:

I tried this 6DOF shooter in VR. Not for the weak of stomach.
