Tetris Effect: Connected Reviews
Connected is a real triumph, then. Even a year and a bit on, I can still find myself diving into this game, losing myself for hours at a time. The difference is this no longer has to remain a personal voyage of discovery. It’s now one I can embark on with friends and strangers from all over the world, while still feeling just as in sync with its message. This deserves to keep finding new audiences, it needs to be played by everyone, and in the back of my mind, part of me hopes the greatest players of the game use it to go head to head on the biggest stages. It’s nothing less than this magical game deserves.
A Tetris game as a next-gen release title? Crazy huh? But no, Tetris Effect Connected is definitely the dark horse of the pack and is a game that you'll be playing long after you've finished the current years blockbusters of the year.
An already spectacular game breaks free of its solo constraints to become the definitive Tetris experience.
Tetris Effect: Connected is a modern puzzle game that even if you don't expect much, certainly hides some aces up its sleeve to win you over.

Great revival of a cult classic. It was a bit more immersive in VR but multiplayer is an awesome addition.

All this, plus some truly hypnotic 4K graphics and terrific music, including a beautiful reimagining of the original Tetris theme. It’s a must for puzzle fans.
Tetris Effect finally arrives on Xbox with an even wider and more enjoyable content offer, which makes up for the absence of VR with a new multiplayer sector to discover.

Tetris Effect: Connected is the best version of one of the top releases of 2018. The multiplayer additions are all excellently designed, with Connected Mode being one of the best co-operative experiences out there.
A true wind of addictive and hypnotic freshness, Tetris Effect Connected offers a visual and auditory spectacle of high quality. Each level, each matrix, embarks us on a new universe that is sometimes poetic, sometimes psychedelic, but always captivating.

The best version of one of the best puzzle games of all time. You owe it to yourself to play this one. It’s even better with immersive lighting or VR.
Though it may harbor the same delightful and immersive single-player offerings as the 2018 original, there's no doubting that the online and competitive expansion to Tetris Effect has only heightened Resonair's work evermore.
That being said, this is one of the best Tetris multiplayer experiences I’ve played in years. It’s not only catered towards those with a vague notion of how this game works, but also those beautiful lunatics like myself, those who follow the Classic Tetris World Championship to a borderline religious degree. I would love to see Tetris Effect: Connected become an esport staple in the near future.
Arguably the definitive version of one of the most famous, and enduring, video games in history, with some very welcome new multiplayer features.
The way Tetris Effect: Connected complements its traditional yet timeless Tetris gameplay with a gorgeous, constantly evolving presentation, combined with an array of modes that now encompasses everything you can want in a Tetris package, makes it the best way to experience one of gaming's quintessential pieces.
More Tetris Effect is never a bad thing.
etris, the granddaddy of all puzzlers, has hit the dance floor in his sequined disco outfit. It’s the best you’ve ever seen him, dazzling, blinding even. He’s dancing with your friend who’s half his age, but the moves he’s rocking are old-school dad-dancing and oh so dated.
Tetris Effect is one of the best VR titles on the market, so without the feature Connected feels, well, disconnected.
Perhaps not <em>quite<em> as transcendental as it is in VR, Tetris Effect: Connected remains an incredible, visionary piece of work, that you can now experience with others. With its arrival on Xbox Series X, it can be a game for a new generation.
Tetris Effect Connected innovates further on 2018's mesmerizing, beautiful and addictive iteration of the Tetris formula, introducing a stable of tried and true multiplayer offerings, as well as a delightful new mode.
Plain and simple, the best Tetris incarnation currently available. Now with new interesting multiplayer modes.
