Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 Reviews
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 isn't the game-changer that the first Puyo Puyo Tetris was.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is an extremely valid crossover puzzle game, but that doesn't do much to offer innovations compared to the first title.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 doesn't do much to differentiate itself from the original, which isn't a bad thing in my eyes.
As a follow-up, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 does manage to add the occasional extra twist, some tweaked timing, and a whole new round of puns but this enjoyable puzzle game doesn't add enough to the core gameplay to justify a sequel, however charming it is.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is a worthy successor to the original and something that both veterans and newcomers alike are sure to find entertainment with, even if it's not as fresh as before.
Just like the first game, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is a joy to play. Whether you love just Puyo Puyo, or Tetris, or both, you’ll find something to enjoy here. Beautifully presented with over-the-top characters, larger-than-life animations and a bright and bold colour palette, it’s a game that’s impossible to play without a silly smile on your face. Apart from when you’re losing, that is. But you’ll always pick yourself up and play again – it’s too infectious not to.
What this sequel does is keep what worked so well about the original while adding to or refining everything else. Clear, expansive tutorials make it more approachable, a variety of online Puzzle Leagues make the depth of online play stronger, and the new Skill Battle mode adds a smart twist to the gameplay. This is a vibrant and enjoyable puzzle game that is packed with content and variety.
SEGA snookered itself a little with the original Puyo Puyo Tetris. The reality is that that game was so perfectly complete that whatever came next was going to feel slightly diminished because its core strength - the ingenious ability to combine two very different puzzlers in a cohesive manner - was no longer new and exciting. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 does everything that original game did. It's every bit as charming, entertaining, and downright fun. The problem is, it doesn't have the same impact now, and if there is going to be a Puyo Puyo Tetris 3, the development team is going to need to come up with a new trick, else the prestige of the oddball crossover is going to start to fade.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is another great game of Tetris and Puyo Puyo, following the great revival that both IPs received in this last generation. Whether offline or online, the amount of content featured here is more than enough to satisfy both newcomers and veterans.

A simple and charming fusion of two puzzle classics, but one that only incrementally improves upon the previous release.

If you are looking for something more than what you saw in the 1st entry in Puyo Puyo Tetris series, you probably can't find much other than the Skill Battle mode, although you will still be fully entertained if you are into this type of games. In a nutshell, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is almost the same game as its predecessor with same old issues but much better visuals, and as entertaining.

A crossover of two great gaming concepts that feels a bit lackluster.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is essentially a carbon copy of the first game except it has a new mode and a different story-based adventure. Because of that, I can't help but feel like it could have been DLC instead of a brand new separate game.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is a brilliantly fun and addictive experience that all fans will quickly sink hours in. The game doesn’t deviate too much from its predecessor, but the campaign and Skill Battle mode provides hours of unique Puyo Puyo and Tetris enjoyment. Only hardcore fans may notice the updated systems, but this is still a very accessible competitive puzzle game for all fans of the genre.
Is Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 more of the same? Yes, and no matter how much I sing its praises, there’ll be those grumbling away at what’s admittedly little more than a reskin. Yet while points might be docked off for a lack of originality, I’m compelled to ask: why fix what ain’t broke? Timeless and engaging in its approachable genius, the puzzle game of the generation remains unmatched in its pliable depth.
It doesn’t reinvent any of its base parts, but the additions it does make and the touched up presentation, combined with just how perfect a mix it was back in 2017 (and even further back in 2014) makes this a must have game for puzzle fans.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is one of the puzzle games with the most content of the generation, with a multitude of game modes and configurations to adapt the experience to our liking. The story mode and the battle of feats take center stage in this installment, being very durable and addictive modes. An essential without a doubt.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is clearly an upgrade over its predecessor. Newcomers have a lot to chew on as veterans, not so much. By taking what was great about the first game and adding fun, new additions such as Skill Battle mode, Sega made a puzzle game sequel well worth playing. Game clear!
Tetris and Puyo Puyo are alive more than ever. Sonic Team hadn't had enough with Puyo Puyo Tetris back in 2014, so they take this daring concept to create a new game, airing 8 of december and available for all gaming platforms nowadays.
