    Tetris Effect and PS VR go together like ham and eggs. It’s the perfect pairing of tech and game design. Don’t have a headset? You can still join in but you’re missing out on the definitive way to play. [Issue#157, p.92]

    For all its glorious visuals, endless modes, and virtual reality additions, the game of Tetris needs not more than a set of reliable input methods to snatch a dozen hours from right before your eyes. Tetris Effect is a confident, yet elegant, take on the simplest game in the world and a sheer masterclass of game design, at that.

    A masterful reimagining of Tetris that changes little about the core gameplay but still manages to create one of the most immersive video games ever.

    It's plain and simple: Tetris Effect is the best Tetris-game ever. It looks gorgeous and VR is amazing. Just buy this game.

    Some games have a personal feeling, and that's the case of Tetris Effect. If you loved the aesthetics, sound and gameplay similarities that Rez and Lumines shared (like every action has a sound effect that impacts the soundtrack), then Tetris Effect it's for you. An original and refreshing way to renew a myth that keeps entertaining big time.

    We all know the game, we all know its rules... but in VR, Tetris still manages to surprise. Kudos to the dynamic use of colours, which really lifts this game to a whole new level.

    All the flair that’s been added to the base game lays bare what’s been deliberately and inexplicably left out, like online multiplayer.

    No review can sum up the magic of this game. Even if you arent a puzzle game fan, try it. You wont regret it.

I don't haveThe visuals and music fit perfectly to create the best version of Tetris. One of the few games to really take advantage of HDR. I don't have PSVR, but the game is great on its own. This is the type of game I will be pulling out to play at least once a week or so as a palate cleanser from all the FPS & action games I play. Plus, I picked it up for 20 bucks which should have been the original price.… Expand

    1. No multiplayer - Not even local - This is a big one.
    2. There's no way to turn off the particle effects, which can be bothersome.

    PSVR gives the game very low latency (16ms) and this is the best way to experience it.

    The best Tetris game in later years is still Tetris DS.    … Expand
