    There are a variety of game modes to keep you entertained and multiplayer is a ton of fun. Very challenging campaign. Online system is flawed as you can't pick the game mode and get matched up against superior players constantly.

    Fun party game to play with friends. Story mode and online can be really hard though as it always seems like everyone is a pro.

    I was negative against the game because I don't like puyo puyo at all but I tried the demo and the game was so fun that I perordered the full version. The multiplayer is amazing , it has a single player story mode but it is not the main dish

    The game really is great! It feels like a complete package, and the gameplay itself feels so fluid and is just plain fun! Try this out if you haven't tried a Tetris or PuyoPuyo game in a long time.

    Puyo Puyo Tetris
    Fun for a little while
    Puyo Puyo Tetris is a game where puyo puyo and Tetris cross paths... There are tons of modes here bringing the 2 games together as well as keeping them separate… I was surprised to learn that there is actually a campaign here… The campaign consists of 10 acts with 10 battles each and tells the story of how this whole Tetris and puyo puyo cross    Puyo Puyo Tetris

    I was surprised to learn that there is actually a campaign here…
    The campaign consists of 10 acts with 10 battles each and tells the story of how this whole Tetris and puyo puyo cross over happened…
    Everyone has played Tetris before but if you haven’t it’s arguable the best puzzle game ever made..
    Where shapes fall from the sky and you try to clear lines by stacking them...
    And puyo puyo is a much lesser puzzle game where you have to try and get at least 4 puyo puyo of the same color to touch...
    And outside of the campaign there is a solo arcade mode where you can play against up to 3 computer players in a regular verses mode for either of the 2, fusion where you have to deal with Tetris blocks and puyo puyo at the same time, swap where the game randomly switches between the 2 game modes as you try to knock your opponent out, party mode where you’re dealing with special items. .this mode is complete mayhem and just a little too much for me, a big bang mode where you choose the game type you want to play and try to clear patterns the fastest, and finally a challenge mode where you chase high scores…
    There’s also muti player arcade to play local games and an competitive online mode where you can set up a lobby or play ranked matches and see how bad at Tetris you actually are…
    I’m a bit of a Tetris fan.. puyo puyo not so much…
    thankfully the game feels pretty great for both game modes but there are some definite issues trying to playing using the analog stick.. It’s way too easy to accidentally drop a block while playing... so I recommend playing this game with a dpad and nothing else…
    At the end of the day I don’t find Puyo Puyo Tetris to be anything special...
    its Tetris with gimmicks multiplayer and a bad wanna be attached…
    Its more for Tetris fans than anyone else..
    I don’t see this game making any new fans for either of the 2 game modes…

    Solid but not great unlockables, you can get new skins for the puzzle "blocks"
    Lots of music and stages to choose from.

    Cons:
    Tricky to play with the Joy Con sideways as you really need a directional pad
    There could be more unlockables
    The party mode is surprisingly bad. It used to be Tetris Wii, DS and 3DS biggest strengths. Here it is very limited. Fortunately the standard modes are really good.    … Expand

    This is a really addictive game, and has plenty to do. Both Puyo and Tetris are very fun, and mixing them together is a pretty good idea. Now there are some issues with difficulty balance and stuff, and the fact that someone who's not a big fan of those franchises probably wouldn't like the $29.99 price tag, but overall, it's a fun experience.

    This is a very enjoyable game. It is very challenging- both online and I found myself struggling with some of the individual campaign. The voice acting is not bad but does grate on the nerves. The gameplay is solid and so are the graphics ( but who is playing tetris for the graphics?)> Works well on the go and perfect switch game for a pick up and play in 5-10 minute spurts.

However, the local multiplayer is absolutely amazing, and if you're on the fence about buying it, there's a demo on the Nintendo eshop. Also, the game is only 39.99 U.S. dollars plus tax. There's also unlockables in game, surprisingly, for all you completionists out there who like puzzle games.

    (revised) Don't get me wrong Puyo is great but for 29.99 it's not worth the price. It really feels more like a 10 dollar eshop title. But it is kind of fun but I would rate till when the price goes down. But with the great online and story it is not a bad title just a little over priced.

    This is a game that does exactly what it says on the tin offering the popular puzzle game Puyo Puyo and the classic Tetris. With plenty of single-player and multi-player options that allow both games to be played separately, or combined in a variety of ways, it's ideally suited for short bursts on the Switch.

    Its fine. The story and voice acting are really bad. The game play is good enough. The demo is actually better than the game, or at least on par. Demo lead me to buy, but it just did not add anything and having to deal with the story line is the worst. Its for very young children. But they are going to laugh every time the pepe cloud yells pe pe a hundred times in a row for the 100th time.

Game would get 9 Points if it would cost 20 Euro, but it is Tetris and PuyoPuyo. This game has many modes and is wonderful to play as 4 or more. sadly there is no option to play as a team...
