The story mode is more in depth than the last game, where in PPT1, you chase down a man messing up your world with Puyo and Tetris, down to the cosmos, all to find out his motivation to do so was because he was depressed and couldn't care. PPT2's story was basically that but toned up more and had more depth into the new characters. While the near-end of the Adventure Mode feels rushed, it's still a decent story, and the new side quests brings more life to the world of Puyo Puyo.

As for the gameplay, it's your typical puzzle game mechanics, Puyo Puyo vs Tetris. The new mode, Skill Battle, is pretty unique to the genre though, since RPG combined with Puzzle is a niche concept. The turnout was OK, though some skills need to be buffed, but I hope SEGA brings back this mode in future Puyo Puyo games.

Online I can't say much, I have never touched online since I don't have Nintendo Switch Online membership, but from what I heard it's been buggy (on launch day atleast), but don't take my word for it.

Overall, Puyo Puyo Tetris, but with more stuff. Worth $40? I don't know, but it's still a fun game and the Adventure mode is worth the time to go through.

Same game but balanced worse (tetris vs tetris takes forever) Was there a new game mode? If there was I forget and it added nothing. Oh yeah Skill Battle is here from Chronicles, which really did add nothing here. In Puyo Tetris 1 your pre-order bonus was some sick keychains while here it's...these items for this mode I never bothered. Digital preorder bonuses are always worthless but this one doubly so.
Seiyuu are replaced with horrible soundalikes (which if you've read my reviews you know I like Asami Imai's voice and this replica disappointed me), Dub VAs recycle battle lines and whatnot. The first 5 chapters of the story are pure rehash. Even worse if you want completionism you'll have to go through each mission at least twice, because you can't take on the 4 star missions before getting 3 star in every level. And your grade won't be updated if you already met the requirements for 4 star so the game is telling you to shut up and do it all agian.
Ally is shoved in arbitrarily for no real reason, her role in the plot isn't even meaningful they just wanted her in there.
Squares and Marle (Marle getting lost in translation of Maru I feel but naming her Circle is probably sillier) are just okay
Updates broke the 24 curse and added clorblind options for those that need them which is cool and the returning ones are nice but the Quest characters should still stay gone.

Most disappointing game of 2020 and felt like it was only made as a quick cash grab. As a normal game it's like 2.5 stars but for what it represents it gets a 1 star rating. I hope commieblocks stay away from Puyo for a while so we can get a new Puyo game and plot that doesn't just copy its predecessor.

The definitive PPT experience by a country mile. Everything great about the first game is kept intact, with the additions of a fun new Skill Battle mode, improved filtering options for online play, dazzlingly flashy new spell animations and a nearly doubled cast of playable characters.

Where this game truly shines is in its outstanding single-player campaign. Massively expanded from the original with way more content, tons of optional side quests, even more of the delightful writing style from the original, and a story that does get genuinely interesting. It provides a surprisingly excellent experience for solo players, although it is still as strong as ever as a multiplayer game.

While it is very similar to the original, the changes and additions it does make are in very meaningful places. The adventure mode alone makes this a worthy followup to the original, and it is the ideal starting point for new Puyo fans.

A relatively bare-bones expansion of the first game, that offers precious little in the way of new content. Though the fresh coat of paint is sweet enough on an aesthetic level, slightly increased handling and additional line-clear delay hinder high-speed gameplay — especially when playing against opponents who have the flashy new cut-ins turned off. From a gameplay standpoint, there's not much reason to spring for the sequel unless you're looking to mess around with the janky Skill Battle mode, or you're itching to play as Sonic, for some reason.
