  Overall, Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Descent DLC is merely more of the same. Granted, the “same” looks and plays great, and gives Black Ops 3 fans a reason to keep playing. Yet Descent doesn’t stray from the COD DLC formula, at all. Featuring 4 maps and a new zombie experience, Descent doesn’t do very much to separate itself from the pack. Black Ops 3 season pass owners will feel like they are only getting what they paid for – nothing more, nothing less.

  At this point, I'm starting to grow tired of the cast that's been there since World at War (I still want to see more of Goldblum and company from Black Ops III's packed-in map), but the voice actors still give it their all and sell it all these years later. Dempsey is one of Steve Blum's best bit roles to date. Still, if you aren't keen on zombies (and many of you aren't, after nearly 10 years of it), you can probably stay away from Descent.

  Fans of the shuffling undead will soak up every rotten second of the particularly strong 'Gorod Krovi' chapter, but it still remains a steep challenge for the lesser skilled zombie hunter who will likely never progress far enough to discover and enjoy its many secrets.

  8.0

  While two of the multiplayer maps ultimately let it down, Descent is Black Ops III's best DLC so far, thanks to the sheer madness and fun-factor of Gorod Krovi, one of the series' best Zombies maps. Empire and Berserk are also great additions to the multiplayer, adding their own individual styles to a once-monotonous selection of maps. Contrary to the expansion's title, Descent has ascended to the top of the Season Pass' pile.

  6.5

  Descent feels a little bit of a disappointment. Two maps are fairly bland, with Beserk being the most interesting, and Empire while being a fantastic remake of Raid, doesn't suit the speed and core movement.

  Descent est très complet et apporte du contenu solide au multijoueur de Black Ops 3. Avec une nouvelle carte zombie à base de monstres mécaniques et de Dragons, ainsi qu'un nouveau mode de jeu efficace, il constitue un bel ajout pour ce troisième opus de la série. De plus, les nostalgiques seront heureux de retrouver une carte de Black Ops 2, magnifiée pour l'occasion et sur laquelle la frénésie est toujours au rendez-vous. Carton plein !
