Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is a old school style shooter, but remixed for the 21st century with next generation graphics and deep, modern gameplay. Playing is simple: you are a geometric "ship" trapped in a grid world, facing off against waves of deadly wanderers, snakes, and repulsars.

A lot of my high school was me trying to break past a million points in this game. When I finally nailed it that adrenaline dump was insane back when achievement hunting was huge. I came back to it after all these years and it still is a perfect game. I played the sequels but this is really the only one you need. There is a patch to play this on modern win 11 systems.

It really brought back memory i had when I was a kid. This game was a good distraction when your having a hard time.

Easy to pick up and play. Great value for money. Basically an acid trip.

Old game from OG xbox...maybe 360, still kicks ass... has strange issues on PC with newer hardware though... sometimes lags like crazy... goes from avg 120fps (vsynced) to 15.... Core mechanic kicks ass though

This game although looks simple actually contains allot of depth. I wish it didn't get difficult so soon tho. Like a chill mode would be great. But it's still a fun pickup and play arcade. And I love it.

Timeless Masterpiece from the Good O'l 360 Xbox Arcade Days. Very Simple, Chaotic Fun and is Fluid as hell! Deserves a try at least!

It turns out, that the OPTIMUM WAY to play Geometry Wars is to USE THE ORIGINAL STEAM CONTROLLER. The fluidity and accuracy that you can have with this setup is totally a transcendental experience. Two products decades apart — but happen to be designed perfectly for one another. TRY IT
