Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S Reviews
The expansion of multiplayer via GameShare is awesome. Stll, the value and cost of entry for this Switch 2 game is a barrier for entry. This is a great game let down by the harsh realities of a new console launch.
More than most, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is a tough release to put a score on. Under no circumstances is it a bad game - in fact, it's a pretty darn decent game that's filled to the brim with modes and features to tide puzzle lovers over for the long haul. However, that has everything to do with the solid skeleton of the original Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and barely anything to do with the minimal additions made to this Switch 2 re-release.For newcomers to the series or those who missed its original release, there's plenty of fun to be had here. For fans who already have the original version on Switch, I struggle to think of a greater waste of Switch 2 gaming funds than this.
This Nintendo Switch 2 version of Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is as excellent as the original game and brings a few new features: support for mouse mode, which is useful in navigating menus but a little awkward in the actual game, GameShare, and an extremely chaotic and fun multiplayer mode. The offering is excellent and plentiful but not particularly appealing to those who have already played the original title.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S remains a strong puzzler that successfully merges two iconic franchises into one cohesive, content-rich package. Mechanically tight and perfectly suited for portable play, it’s an easy recommendation for newcomers looking to dive into a vibrant and addictive puzzle experience. That said, the additions in this version are relatively minor, offering little incentive for returning players who already own the previous release. For fresh players though, it’s a delightful crossover worth your time.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is a colorful combination of two popular puzzle games with plenty to keep you busy. A robust story mode and chaotic multiplayer matches are very entertaining. If this was a new gane, it would receive higher marks. I'm glad it's on the Switch 2, but it's a shame there's no upgrade option for owners of the original Switch version.
I've spent several hours playing Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S and I just love it. Barring the unnecessary complexities of its Skill Battles and attempting to learn its nuances, the additional modes and Versus setup makes for satisfying, frenetic, and highly replayable puzzle gameplay. It's an excellent game to take on the road and play with friends.
A lack of an upgrade path for Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 players puts a downer on this otherwise feature packed puzzler
For the most part, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is the same game as it was when it released back in 2020: a great deal of fun for fans of both Tetris and Puyo. But the addition of a new mode and the implementation of Switch 2's excellent GameShare functionality make this absolutely the best version yet.
Bear in mind that Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is still a good game overall. The concept remains solid with an adventure mode that's endearing if you like silly stories and can overcome holes in the narrative logic. The modes really play around with the formulas of both games well, and the amount of content can keep a puzzle fan busy for quite some time. The lack of an upgrade path for existing owners and the marginal improvements for the Switch 2-exclusive version make it difficult to recommend a double-dip. If you never bought the game before and don't mind sticking with offline play, then you'll have a good time with this title and can give this a higher score. For everyone else, you can safely steer clear from this version.
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is certainly the best iteration of this puzzle combination yet and it's full of line-clearing and chain-triggering fun. 🧩
uyo Puyo Tetris 2S is not a bad release, because it has a lot of upgrades and additions, just not enough in number or important enough to push its audience to make a total transition to the new generation.

If you’re new to the game, this is absolutely the one to get. But if you’ve been here before? It depends on how much that smoother performance means to you and whether you’ve got a co-op partner who’s just as ready to throw blocks with you for hours.
It’s hard to explain the joy that a good puzzle game brings, and I want to take this game outside with a projector and just play it on my garage door and see if anyone driving by my house wants to join.
A re-release for Switch 2 that is full of puzzling content, but adds little to the original game. If you've never played a Puy Puyo Tetris, this is an excellent game that will keep you entertained for many hours. If you already own the original, this Switch 2 release adds too little to warrant double dipping.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S barely justifies its existence. It is a re-release of a sequel already available on the console via backwards compatibility, with additions that border on superfluous or were poorly thought out, such as mouse controls. There was no attention paid to, at the very least, adding a Brazilian Portuguese localization, as with other recent titles from the producer. Considering that the title is also being sold separately and with no upgrade options for owners of the sequel on the original console, it is difficult to recommend this purchase.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S confirms itself as a solid experience, capable of entertaining both Puyo Puyo and Tetris fans thanks to a wide variety of game modes. However, the new content of this re-release for Nintendo Switch 2 is too scarce to convince those who have already played any of the previous chapters, especially the second, to repurchase the title. The Adventure mode is neglectable, while additions such as the duo mode and the gameshare represent interesting but not revolutionary ideas. That said, if you are new to the series, this version is without a doubt the most complete currently available on the market, ready to give you many hours of pure fun.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is the definitive way to play this incredible puzzle mashup with all the updates and content. With such variety in control schemes, it might even be one of the most accessible games on the market to play right now, and with so many modes it more than justifies its asking price, especially by making great use of GameShare and GameChat. Unfortunately, without cross-play and without an upgrade path from Switch 1 to Switch 2, online is feeling a little bit empty right now which might hurt the game’s long term potential. A shame considering the modes and options available to players. And ultimately the new offerings don’t quite go far enough to double-dip if you already own this one on Switch. Still, a must if you’ve never owned or played this before and the perfect multiplayer alternative to Mario Kart World!
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is, without a doubt, the best way to enjoy one of the most brilliant puzzle crossovers of recent years. Its technical improvements, the new Doubles mode, and Switch 2-exclusive features make it a very polished and fun remake. Don't expect any major revolutions, though: the foundation remains the same as in 2020, but when something works this well, there's no need to reinvent it.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is the perfect way to inject some classic puzzling into your Switch 2 library, especially if you missed the previous version.
Even after playing for several hours, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S isn't exactly an easy game to recommend. Don't get me wrong - it's definitely not a bad game, but rather, one that has a bit of an entry barrier for beginners, especially in its story mode. The extra modes that the Switch 2 version brings honestly don't add much to the game itself, and I think SEGA could definitely have released this as an Upgrade Pack, and maybe finally released the Switch 1 version on the Brazilian eShop. I wouldn't recommend it to newcomers, except if you find it at a sale, but I can see a Tetris or Puyo Puyo expert getting a kick out of it.
