Super Hexagon

Top Pro

Aggressive aesthetic

The visual design of the game consists of basic geometric shapes in bright colors that turn and blink while you are trying to stay focused on a little triangle in the middle. See More

Top Con

Can cause nausea

The fast spinning graphics could cause some people a bit of nausea. See More

Specs

Genre:Action / Arcade

Co-Op:None

Controller Support:No

Top Pro

Great soundtrack

Top Pro

Addictive, challenging gameplay

You will die. A lot. And that is the point. The game is challenging, but fair. It is as much about memorization as it is about precision of movement. See More

Audiosurf 2

Top Pro

Soundcloud integration

User can log into Soundcloud to then use music from the service int he game. It is easy to do and offer a vast amount of music. See More

Top Con

No way to find leaderboards for track you may want to use

It is not until a musical track is used that one can look at a leaderboard for it. For those that use niche type music it is annoying to have to use the track first to even see if others are playing it. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Mixed

Top Pro

New modes added over the original title

There are quite a few new modes included in this game over the original title, which allows for more replayability. Wakeboard is the standout new mode, where players are pulled along and need to collect blocks to fill a grid. There are also developer created modes that offer variations of the core Mono mode.

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved

Top Pro

Higher production values

The latest entry into the Geometry Wars series and the production values are pretty nice. Graphics in the game are the best they have been with newly designed levels that work in the third dimension. Overall, there is quite a lot of polish to the titles which shows over its previous endeavours. See More

Top Con

Can be really difficult

Playing on harder difficulties or playing the boss levels can be trials in frustration as the game can be quite difficult. This may wear thing on the player if they do not like the challenge or the frustration. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Newly added feature of using companions

Not present in earlier titles, the player can now equip drones to follow their main ship around. These drones are used to help during levels, depending on what type of support each drone offers. Some will help with shooting, others can help collect objects. Of course it is up to the player to choose what kind of support they want. Overall this is a helpful mechanic that is a completely new feature in the series. See More

Top Con

Chasing high scores can get tiring

While there are some new additional game modes in this third iteration of the series, the same "chase the high score" element is present and is still the main focus of the game. While not entirely bad in and of itself (chasing high scores), it can wear thin pretty quickly. See More

AudioSurf

Top Pro

Interesting puzzle mechanics for a rhythm game

Instead of rhythmically hitting certain blocks to the beat the player is actually tasked with collecting certain blocks on the track in order to create combos for a high score. See More

Top Con

Uneven experience depending on songs choosen

Vocals and different riffs on a guitar may speed up ones ship in the middle of a race, on top of this one must be conscious of what music they choose as some genres may be easier to play to than others. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Can be casual or hardcore

Depending on the speed/difficulty that is set by the car chosen by the user they can have a slow casual experience or a fast paced hardcore experience is sped up. This is great if a bunch of different players in ones family or group of friends will be playing as well as for when the payer feels like changing up their own experience. See More
