    + Gameplay, graphics and sounds are as good as they've ever been in the series
    + New 'Adventure' mode introduces ship customization and offers greater longevity
    + Every time I unlock a new level in 'Adventure', its a mind bending trip with several exclaimed "HOLY SH!T"
    + Modes from GW:RE2 are included under 'Classics'
    + Steam integration seems to work fine
    - In general I cannot get the game to run smoothly; for now I've forced it to Window - No Border which plays ok.
    - 120/144 Hz and FPS is not working for everyone; my game is capped at 60FPS despite trying NVIDIA options that others claim will provide higher FPS
    - Sequence mode from GW:RE2 is missing, the only mode not ported (unless its a game unlock I've yet to achieve)
    - No option to rebind the controller buttons, even though there are only two buttons on the gamepad. GM:RE2 allowed button mapping so one could assign the special/bomb buttons to the bumpers instead of the triggers with the bumpers providing a quicker activation due to less travel in the press
    - Black hole animation is not eyegasmic compared to GW or GW:RE2

    I'm going to buck the trend here, go with my gut and give the game a 6/10. It's not a bad game and probably one of the better games out there for those who like twin stick shooters or shmups in general; it also has appealing graphics, a catchy soundtrack and supports couch co-op on the Steam Link. But, if like me you're not really into these sorts of games, Geometry Wars 3 isn't going toI'm going to buck the trend here, go with my gut and give the game a 6/10.

But, if like me you're not really into these sorts of games, Geometry Wars 3 isn't going to change your mind thanks to a steep difficulty curve and lack of modes suitable for shmup-n00bs.… Expand

    Pros-
    Well designed game
    Tons of levels
    Leaderboards for every level

    Cons-
    Not enough multiplayer levels
    Music is not quite as good as the first two
    Amount of content can be overwhelming

    The game rule is newer, but the game control is difficult to use for newbie adaptibility. When i play the game, the game track 3d is little bit confusing.

    Designers’ imagination seems to be unlimited and even if the quality of levels is uneven and their difficulty seems random, there’s so much fun in Geometry Wars 3. [02/2015, p.49]

    The core, which made the Geometry Wars brilliant arcade, is still there; they only add the third dimension. So the third part is enjoyable, addictive and very challenging as were its predecessors. In addition, arenas will test your skills and won’t give you a break. There are problems with the third dimension sometimes, but they won‘t bother you much, so you can enjoy the never-ending challenge.
