Tetris Effect: Connected

released on May 14, 2020

An expanded game of Tetris Effect

Tetris Effect: Connected adds an all-new robust multiplayer expansion to the huge variety of addictive and innovative single-player modes that Tetris Effect is known for. Connect and play with or against each other in all-new modes like "Zone Battle," which shakes up traditional 1-on-1 Tetris gameplay via the time-stopping Zone mechanic, or try the innovative co-op of "Connected" mode, where up to three players can literally connect their Tetris playfields together and play as one, as they work together to take down a series of increasingly-challenging CPU-controlled bosses.

Over the near hundreds of Tetris games I've played, playing Tetris Effect genuinely makes the 40 year old game feel like brand new. Genuinely one of the best single-player focused Tetris games I've ever played. Straight from the new game mechanics to the soul-ascending aesthetics, it's a beautiful delight and beautiful refresh to Tetris. Absolute must get for new and old Tetris fans.

Initially, I questioned whether it was worth buying this game during the Steam Spring Sale. "It's just Tetris", I thought, "You can play it online for free."

Not only is this by far my favorite version of Tetris, it's an experience unlike any other game I've played. The visuals and sound design are breathtaking on their own, but combined with the tense gameplay of Tetris, they instantly put you in a zen-like state of dropping pieces, lining them up, and planning out your next moves. Honestly, I think it's a concept that can only work as a Tetris game; since the game is so easy to understand and so widely known, the game can focus entirely on creating a sensory experience and tapping into what makes the game so much fun in the first place.

Also, it just feels amazing to play, with responsive controls, all the QOL features from past iterations of Tetris, and a plethora of modes to test the limits of your skills. And even if you're not into that, there's a completely faithful recreation of NES Tetris available from the get-go, showcasing a further understanding of the game's legacy. It is absolutely worth the 20 dollars I spent on it, and I would recommend anyone who remotely likes Tetris to do the same.
