User reviews & Ratings

April 2025
In comparison to Geometry Wars 1 - GW3 is both more good and more bad. While it has many new game modes and perspectives to play around with, it is ultimately at the price of visual clarity. Replacing the Repulsar (Red Circle) from GW1 is a strange 3d vortex with an unclear hitbox, and a colour that slightly blends into the background, as opposed to the Repulsar's stark red. It is only natural for a sequel to attempt to expand the core ideas of the first game, but sometimes simplicity is the key. I do not think GW3 manages to be as great as its predecessor, though it is worth picking up and giving a go regardless.

Love the game, wish online and leaderboards would work on Linux, like Steam OS.

So addicting. I've been here since the first Geometry wars on XBLA. Love this series. So many games have imitated this style of dual stick shooter and just aint as good. They did it right. Would like to see more future releases. 10/10

Unfortunately, it was only discovered late, but it immediately received the "Timeless" stamp. Classic arcade game, very difficult adventure mode, but a good, chic, shiny game with a cool soundtrack in the "you can always play it in between" categoryUnfortunately, it was only discovered late, but it immediately received the "Timeless" stamp.
