Ars Technica partners with GOG.com to feature a curated list of games, rotating monthly. This collaboration includes monthly articles reviewing selected titles. The first featured game is Descent, a groundbreaking 1995 3D shooter pivotal in online gaming's early days. Descent's history includes a period off GOG due to royalty issues, but it has since returned. The article also touches on the unfortunate closure of Volition, the studio that evolved from Parallax, Descent's original developer.
