Probably the best and most effective incarnation of Tetris ever existed. Insanely addictive and highly addictive game that makes a huge impression with graphics.

Tetris Effect is a fantastic culmination of every modern nicety the titles have been known for, save for a disappointing lack of multiplayer.  A simple puzzle game which turns out to be a triumphant exploration of human culture and progress.

Not since the days of the original PlayStation or Game Boy has Tetris proven with such ferocity that it remains as enjoyable yet aesthetically-dexterous as it's proven so many a time.

Solid Tetris and the unique visual style of Tetsuya Mizuguchi fit together like two L blocks.

Tetris Effect is a dazzling display of all aspects of gaming coming together for a singular experience. It's also a fully featured edition of the best puzzle game of all time. Overall, that's a pretty good combo.

Timeless gameplay and new music make Tetris Effect quite worthwhile in my eyes. For those with access to PSVR, the immersive visuals make it an easy recommendation.

From jumping dolphins to indians and balloons; from house/techno and dubstep to jazz, Tetris Effect promises an immersive and intuitive experience. If you didn't like the old Tetris, now you've got every reason to rediscover this video game classic. It's beyond recommended to play with a good sound system or headphone. "Until the next trip!"

Ultimately Tetris Effect is a rewarding experience, widely curated in its artistic dimension and enhanced by a complete and functional compatibility with virtual reality; the gameplay sees in the Zone the most important introduction of the enhance title, which does not benefit from great additions compared to the canonical Tetris recipe.

This is a deeply immersive, elegant, intelligent take on Tetris, and the best example of it since the original on Game Boy, all that time ago

Mizuguchi has made strong, confident choices with his approach to Tetris, the Zone ability most prominent among them, but he’s done so uncompromisingly. And that’s an effect that’s as likely to leave tetrominos burned into your retinas as it is to simply leave you feeling cold and alone.

Tetris Effect is a great take on a classic formula. The immersive visuals and music add a new layer that Tetris fans didn't even know we needed.
