As cool as this was, and I don’t blame anyone for completely disagreeing with me… I’d rather just play the most basic Tetris possible. The spectacle is fun to look at but it kind of gets in the way. Even the classic mode has some extra flair to it which is fine, but just doesn’t do it for me like the simple presentation of the Game Boy version. I might also just be coping because I suck at this, but I was able to beat the Journey and I’ll be playing the online modes for a while because I see myself slowly improving. I also played some couch co-op and the boss fight mode was neat, specially how all your boards connect (boards? fields? grids?). Anyway, I’ll play this if I want a tactile, immersive experience, but I’d pick up my Analogue Pocket if I just want to play Tetris.
I had a religious experience playing this game for the first time. A1 adaptive soundtrack as well.
we really are all connected, aren't we?

Tetris is already a near perfect game, so it is no surprise that this game does it well.
Insane visuals and sounds on top of Tetris make this game extremely cool to play. The story mode is a bit short, and not too challenging. The game does include ways to play classic Tetris while maintaining the visuals this game provides. However, 40 dollars for Tetris is a bit steep.

As close to perfect as a tetris game can be. VR, integration with a curated soundtrack that is supposed to evoke an emotional journey, much like all games produced by Mizuguchi. Much like lumines and Rez it is ingenious in its efforts to immerse and intermingle the gameplay and audio without it being a rhythm game.
As far as the base mechanics, it's tetris with a few of the additional modes you'll see that vary in their aim. To be a casual challenge, totally relaxing, or put your skills to the test. Plus in the main game, a "super" mode that lets you pause time and stack line clears for an octotris and such. Nothing amazing in the way it plays, but it's 100% presentation and despite that, it knocks it out of the park.
It extends its themes of connectedness through its community challenges and bonus mode menu showing lit up parts of the earth with little creatures and objects orbiting it.
The VR is the best way to experience this, not just as a VR enthusiast but because the game was intended to immerse you and initialize the titular tetris effect. To put you in an isolation tank with its sights and sounds, and leave you in some sort of parallel Tetris universe.
I'm excited for the free expansion and while it's been a bit since this initially came out I pray for further iterations in terms of levels and features because I want this to be and stay the definitive tetris experience forever if possible.

Love the visuals
GOAT
why would you play any other version of tetris when you can strap a screen to your face and blast this shit at max volume
No one can deny the bafflingly obvious truth that Tetris stands as one of the few perfect videogames. Even Effect understands this so well that it extends its brilliance on a cerebral level with just some light yet largely impactful tweaks on the gameplay.
The mix of euphoric visuals, some harkening back to the classic Tetris backgrounds, along with an adaptive collection of syncopated soundscapes may appear quite simple in this one string of statements. But believe me, an effect must be felt not articulated.

perfect.
Oh dear god, oh man it's everywhere
A experiência definitiva de Tetris, é incrível a junção da música, direção de arte do game com o estilo de jogo clássico, é desafiador, eu tinha desistido da última fase quando joguei no PC e sofri novamente jogando no PS5, tive que fazer a fase no fácil e sofrendo mas tá feito.
I think Tetris is a fundamentally perfect game, and I think this is the best version of Tetris that exists. It elevates everything about the experience of Tetris and turns it into something transcendent. It boldly pushes forward the idea that 'What if Tetris is actually a universal shared human experience that connects all people and all things' and it really should come off as pretentious, but it makes me believe it. Maybe Tetris is the most important piece of art ever made??? Honestly, like, maybe. It might be.
This is one of my favorite games ever made. It's perfect.

So called free LSD.
