Tetris Effect Review: Our Kind of Game

Written by

We’ve all played Tetris (or a version of it) at some point in our lives, right? Earlier this year, a modern revival brought us a revival of the classic block-stacking game, and we couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Here's our Tetris Effect review.The world is a crazy place right now! What better way to sit back, relax and tune out than by playing a highly addictive arcade game that features beautiful graphics, very chilled music, and a seemingly endless number of levels?The new game is aptly named after a bizarre optical illusion in which Tetris players would often ‘see’ falling blocks in their line of vision. We’ve been playing Tetris since we could hold a controller, so it’s safe to say many of the team have experienced this before!

Tetris Effect contains 30 levels of increasing difficulty. You’ll likely fall into one of two camps when playing the game: those that play for a bit of escape and relaxation, and those that see it as a challenge of reflexes and special awareness.If you fall into the former, you’ll love the music and visuals that accompany the game itself. Ethereal beats and kaleidoscope patterns will completely draw you into ‘the zone’.If you fall into the latter, then you’re in for a treat. The difficulty and speed increase fairly quickly as you progress through the levels – you’ll definitely need to repeat a few even if you’re a seasoned player.[embed]https://youtu.be/urbLIyd-VsQ[/embed]Tetris Effect is first and foremost a classic puzzle game, which those that loved the original will still find nostalgic. That said, the most surprising thing about this reimagining is the sense of euphoric calm we get from working our way through the levels and really giving it our full attention.

OUR SCORE: 5 out of 5
