PC Critic Reviews

Waves is a game designed to be a quick distraction: ten minutes here, ten minutes there. Each of the game modes accommodates that, but the game itself doesn't let you just switch off and blow stuff up without thinking.

There are no hidden depths in Waves, but it's worth splashing out on it. [Feb 2012, p.112]

A great value for a little price: Waves is, simply, one of the best twin stick shooter of the last few years.

A frighteningly moreish game that represents ludicrous value for money, and is highly recommended to anyone taken to competitive twin-stick shooters.

Despite a few small issues and the disappointment at the lack of multiplayer of any kind, I still found Waves to be a highly entertaining twin-stick shooter with some really interesting rules to keep the formula fresh.
