Tetris 99 Reviews
Tetris 99 is highly addictive, simple, and fun. It brings that modern Tetris competition to the online stage in a big way but the lack of game modes and new features really hurt this from being more than just a good game.
Big Block DLC adds two new modes to Tetris 99, which allows us to play either battle royale or marathon offline. But we still miss some more options and game modes.

In the end, despite its simplistic appearance and only one mode, Tetris 99 achieves the unthinkable, being fun without a lot of meaningless features.

Tetris 99 had a clear focus to provide a simple multiplayer Tetris experience that, despite its simplicity, works extremely well.
This is what Nintendo need to keep on doing to ensure subscription to Nintendo Switch Online stays worthwhile, however, this is just Tetris with a very addictive online element, and can quickly wane once the initial honeymoon period is over. Those who really enjoy basic Tetris will be right at home with this iteration. It is fast, frantic and somewhat unpredictable gameplay is what makes it so addictive in the first place - for others, the repetition might kick in after some time.
Barebones and no-frills it may be, but Tetris 99 is the best playing Tetris game in years and ultimately well worth downloading if you're a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber.
Tetris 99 is a convincing mix of the classic Tetris formula and battle royale mechanics.

Tetris 99 is what you get when you take the only perfect video game ever made and make it reflect the inner violence of the human soul
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.
As a competitive and quite frantic game, Tetris 99 is the exact opposite of Tetris Effect. And it's a very good game too. It's not the kind of experience you play to feel more peaceful. When you engage in the only available mode, you want to be the last survivor. And if you're not, you go for another shot. And another. It can last forever because Tetris 99 is just so addictive.

There is a train of thought that Tetris is, was and forever will be the finest piece of game design the world has ever seen.
Barebones though it may be, Tetris 99 delivers a consistently thrilling taste of competitive Tetris.
Tetris and battle royale turn out to be a perfect match with probably the best multiplayer version of the game ever made.
GREAT - Leave it to Nintendo to think of a new way to bring Battle Royale to the masses. Tetris 99 is a perfect mix of approachable gameplay and highly competitive stakes. The game is highly addicting, instantly fun, and a perfect fit for the Switch. The experience is limited with only one game mode, but even so expect to lose hours of your life to it.
Tetris 99 delivers a fun and intense experience while taking inspiration from gaming's most popular multiplayer trend
A riveting take on an all-time classic, Tetris 99 is wondrous pandemonium in a (battle royale) bottle.
An eternal classic with a twist that makes it new again. This is the way to renew a franchise, well played Tetris.
