![]() ![]() I think the enjoyment is actually higher due to the leaderboard integration, as I have repeated many stages to try and beat “Von” on my Steam friends list, and failed miserably. When new enemies are spawning they fade into the battlefield giving you a chance to move, but that hasn’t stopped me stupidly not realising as I’m too focused on the barrage of shapes heading my way and BOOM it spawned on top of me-damn. ![]() The game is incredibly frustrating at times too, although it does try to help you. Those little green dodging devils sure do like to dive and swerve, which makes me focus on them too much and get blown up by everything coming in behind me. That is something I don’t remember seeing in the older games, and it’s fantastic. I’m liking the fact that some enemies will even try to dodge your bullet spam, and it’s really quite cool to see a wave of enemies swoosh about avoiding your bullets. You need to keep moving or the enemy shapes could quickly creep up from the other side. It’s that kind of variation that will keep you interested for hours, as you only get to see a small part of the area. I think the battleground variation is what’s mostly making me fall in love with it, after you destroy the first boss you get a sort of oblong shaped battleground that rotates as you move. All this while it warps in lots of shapes to try and obliterate you, but beware the boss moves itself around to try and squish you. The first boss has an impenetrable shield your bullets bounce off, and you need to take its health down one section at a time. ![]() I know boss fights aren’t exactly a unique feature for a game, but the way it’s done on GM3 is rather clever I think. The boss fights are probably my favourite feature in the entire game, as the first boss is so fun I think I’ve replayed it about 4 times. It’s just as frantic as the older versions, but it’s actually a lot more fun due to the variation in battlefields, enemies, the bosses, and the enemy AI. Geometry Wars 3 is a very different beast to the simple arcade shooter of the original, and it’s fantastic to play it natively on Linux. It’s very good at keeping you pumped when it really kicks in, and I find myself getting quite attached to the music in it. It mixes some quality electronic effects along with some rather tame drum and bass for an interesting mix of styles. ![]() The music is probably some of the smoothest I’ve heard in an arcade game of this type. I have been able to play rather a lot of it, and it’s flawless. Of course you should take this with a grain of salt, as I am currently on an Nvidia 970, but the performance is perfect. So, how does GM3 stack up against that classic? Performance I’ve sunk a lot more time into it than I honestly thought I would! I played the slightly updated original “Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved” back in my Xbox 360 days (R.I.P), and it was a quality game for when friends come around for a drink. The update is out, so how is the game on Linux?
