I just discovered this game at SGDQ and I am extremely bummed that I love it because I cannot bring myself to pay a subscription to play it. I don’t need it to be free, but I can’t pay $3 a month (or $48 a year). It’s just not a thing I do with games.
Otherwise, it’s super fun to be plopped in a random spot and then try to figure out where I am. I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to play multiple games in a row but I’ll probably go ahead check in for that free game every once in a while. I don’t consider myself very good at geography and I think this could be a great way to accidentally get better!

i did pay to keep playing and you know what? it rules. i'm sure most costs go into supporting its multiplayer which i can't give a shit about, but what strange sense of adventure geoguessr gives the player. it's fun to do more modes which bring you to less commonly photographed places. due to linguistic knowledge i can generally tell the difference between european countries, but when they throw me into an arabic speaking country it's very tough!
i loved this game so much. u can spend alot of time in it without realising. SO MUCH FUN
sadly the rating brought down from 4 stars to 1 star due to the fact that you have to have a yearly subscription to play it properly otherwise you get shitty limitations if you want to play it for free :(((
such a shame ;-;

I remember having fun with this game when I first discovered it, the few free games you got a day was honestly very generous, and it was more than enough with the way I played this game. In my opinion it's best experienced in a very meticulous, slow way - walking around, picking up little clues, searching (or not searching) little details from license plates, languages, business names - even when I completely missed the bar the process of finding these little trivia bits about little nooks of the world felt like a nice exercise almost in appreciation of the world. I don't really play it nowadays for no particular reason - when I have a rare urge to walk around in Google Maps I just prefer to walk around in Google Maps with no strings attached - but this game has been around for long enough to develop a meta, which has really soured my opinion on this game.
Criticizing a game for its fanbase is a bit shallow and I do have some apprehension about it, but the game itself has definitely acquiesced to the demands of this new wave of players and as such it's worth talking about. All I have to say is I really, really don't like competitive Geoguessr, it's antithetical to the way I appreciate the game, and some random georainbolt clip always seems to find its way to my eyes on social media, I have him blocked on like every site that we both use.
Of course, even talking about it as long as I have is overexaggerating the seriousness of this opinion, it's not an affront to me or anything, it's just a game I don't play anymore has evolved in a way that makes me want to play it even less.
