Critic Reviews for Tetris 99
A riveting take on an all-time classic, Tetris 99 is wondrous pandemonium in a (battle royale) bottle.
Tetris 99 delivers a fun and intense experience while taking inspiration from gaming's most popular multiplayer trend
Barebones though it may be, Tetris 99 delivers a consistently thrilling taste of competitive Tetris.
The complete oddball of the family, Tetris 99 offers a truly unique way to play the tried-and-tested classic, even if the overall package feels a little lightweight. Playing live against 98 others is chaotic, and the action feels fast, precise, and wonderfully addictive. It's seriously difficult, too – we'd fancy our chances in Fortnite over this any day – and we're impressed with the fact that it's forced us to play the game with a completely different approach to our usual slow-and-steady ways. Signing up for Nintendo Switch Online just to play this game might be a bit of a stretch, but if you're already a member, what are you waiting for? It's free, and it might just become your next favourite time sink.
If you're after a royale-y good time you should look much farther than Tetris 99.
An eternal classic with a twist that makes it new again. This is the way to renew a franchise, well played Tetris.

Tetris 99 improves an already near-perfect game and proves that battle royale can transcend genres, but it is held back by Nintendo Switch Online.
Tetris and battle royale turn out to be a perfect match with probably the best multiplayer version of the game ever made.
