Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Review
With Geometry Wars 3, Lucid Games have taken the pure and unsullied Geometry Wars mix and added nothing but good things to it. No corners have been cut here and the game is almost a love-letter to everything that was great about the series in the first place. The Adventure mode is an absolute success, taking an almost arcade-like experience and adding depth and replayability (like the latter was needed!) along with newly-shaped playfields that are interesting and fun. With the addition of customisable weaponry, a new level of tactical nuance has been added, too. It all just works, and we absolutely cannot recommend Geometry Wars 3 highly enough. Outstanding.
