Play UKJan 8, 2015Easily up there with Resogun and Trials Fusion among PS4's best score attack games, Dimensions is the return to form we feared we would never see but are so glad that we have. [Issue#252, p.68]
-
Dec 3, 2014Shaking up the formula somewhat whilst still ensuring that longtime fans and purists are catered for, Lucid Games have done the unfathomable and created a game that betters the already stellar efforts of Bizarre Creations.
-
Feb 4, 2015Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is a near perfect game let down only by the demanding mission padding and a soundtrack that represents a slight step backwards from its predecessors.
-
Dec 5, 2014Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is a fantastic return for the series that brought the twin-stick shooter to modern consoles. Damningly hard, visually and aurally distinctive, there are few games that can match it for both immersion and addictiveness.
-
Dec 5, 2014It's still Geometry Wars but you do need to accept it has changed since you last saw it 6 years previous.
-
Dec 2, 2014Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is a great new entry in the series. It offers plenty of things for all players, as the Adventure mode draws in new fans, the Classic mode appeals to veterans, and the leaderboards manage to fuel their competitive natures.
-
Dec 1, 2014Aesthetically scintillating, but equally enthralling in its immense depth, Geometry Wars 3 is a sequel whose design insight is matched only by its endlessly creative sense of fun. Close to perfect.
-
Dec 1, 2014Not only is Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions the best and hardest chapter in the series, but improves all the good things that Bizarre Creations did in the previous chapters. If you’re an arcade shooter lover, don’t miss it.
-
Dec 1, 2014Arcade minimalism close to perfection and manic action: Geometry Wars is back. Seriously: If I hadn't owned a console already I would buy one just for this game.
-
Dec 1, 2014For such a simple formula, it's a testament to Geometry Wars' ability to do it better than anyone else that it is still the premier dual stick arcade shooter, even after so many releases and clones on the market.
-
Nov 25, 2014While the introduction of 3D stages doesn’t change the franchise’s core formula as much as you may expect, it still manages to breathe new life into a solid starting point – and even minor presentation and difficulty niggles can’t sully this shapely treat.
-
Games Master UKJan 31, 2015Gorgeous, compulsive shooting action with incredible depth, but the score battles can be mismatched. [Feb 2015, p.76]
-
Dec 19, 2014Traditional gameplay, intense and varied levels, nice visuals and an engaging soundtrack... What more could you wish for?
-
Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaDec 16, 2014Co-op. Solo. Whatever your angle is, Geometry Wars delivers. [January 2015, p82]
-
Dec 9, 2014Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is not an improvement of the perfect game we know so well. But, it is the only way to experience the genius that this twin-stick-shooter is on modern platforms.
-
Dec 2, 2014This game deserves carrying the name of the franchise. It makes some changes, focusing more on beating ourselves in every stage, but the core experience remains.
-
Dec 2, 2014Regardless of whether you like the three-dimensional shift or not, there's enough content in Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions to warrant a look.
-
Jan 19, 2015An enjoyable entry in the Geometry Wars franchise that manages to add new life into the series, but keeps fans happy with returning classics.
-
Dec 20, 2014When you first look at it, Geometry Wars seems not very unique. It is a classical twin-stick shooter, but as soon as you are in control, the chaos seems organized and the pulsating music guide you in the right direction. We are, once again, in a trance.
-
Dec 2, 2014I don't love every new thing about Dimensions--some of it feels like it's missing the point of what made the original so great--but there are a lot of interesting ideas in here, and holy cow is it nice just to play a new Geometry Wars game again.
-
Dec 2, 2014Adventure mode’s poor pacing and repetition didn’t hold my interest, but King and Pacifism modes are much more interesting – as are the helpful A.I. drones, which provide more than enough reasons to go back and chase those leaderboards.

-
Playstation Official Magazine UKFeb 7, 2015A fine twin-stick shooter that's just a few minor tweaks away from something really special - though score-chasers up for a stern challenge may well adore its charms. [Feb 2015, p.95]
-
Dec 12, 2014Generous and hypnotic, Geometry Wars takes on a new dimension with superb graphics, 3D levels and new multiplayer modes. Too bad, however, that the Adventure mode is so difficult and that the quality of the soundtrack is not as good as we hoped.
