Geometry Wars is good. Most of us agree on that. But have you ever tried Waves?
Back in 2015, I bought this game and I was simply blown away. After eight years away from PC gaming, I was stunned by how much gold was available at an affordable price. And believe me, Waves is solid 24 karat gold!
Waves is a lot like Geometry Wars but adds something neat: the ability to slow down time. What this means is that if any enemy gets a little too close to you, you can temporarily slow things down to make it easier for you to avoid them.
However, you can only slow things down for so long, and after you use it, you have to rebuild your time gauge. This gives Waves an added dimension of strategy.
What’s neat is that Waves is now free on Steam. Which is quite a deal because I paid for my copy – even if it was a pittance. Also, Waves is verified on Steam Deck. And yeah, I recommend this.
