This isn't just Tetris, this is Tetsuya Mizugishi's Tetris, and if you know, you know. Fans of his previous work have undoubtedly already played this and loved it; if you didn't love his previous work, this won't change your mind; but if you loved this game, and have never played another of Tetsuya Mizugishi's games, then, please, add them to your backlog.
I love Tetris, that much is obvious.
I played the original Game Boy version on Switch and I've had fun playing 99, too, as well as a tiny LCD game version and I thought I was set until I happened upon Tetris Effect for free with a PlayStation Plus membership.
This is probably the most beautiful version of Tetris I've ever seen.
I see myself as pretty good at the game so that wasn't much of a distraction from the gorgeous visuals.
Earth from above, ethereal jellyfish, dolphins that jump out of the water every time you get a line, it's all bloody marvellous.
Not to mention the soundtrack, which honestly rivals recent electronic releases. I might actually listen to the album on its own eventually because a lot of it sounds a lot like the music of Porter Robinson and Madeon.
Sure, single player Tetris might get a bit boring after a while but I love playing it and the changes every 35 lines keep me well engaged.
This is definitely my go-to Tetris game when I need some time to think because it really does the job and then some.
The VR Mode also really enhances the experience, too.

There are two feelings when you play Tetris Effect. One is the laser focused mastery of the genuinely difficult, satisfying Tetris challenge. The other is going from vibing with the aestethic to absolutely ascending to it. It's when both of these feelings connect with one another that this truly becomes an "Experience".
This 5-star review is not earned entirely off the merits of this specific game. Rather, I consider Tetris Effect to be the definitively best version of modern Tetris, and Tetris itself is a perfect game.
Tetris Effect especially understands Tetris as a meditative experience. It enhances that meditation through gorgeous music that reacts to your placement of pieces, and ephemeral relaxing visuals.
Tetris changed my life, really. Tetris is a patient companion for when the mind is too chaotic. Tetris is beautiful.

not morally egregious per se but Tetris devotees should agree to never speak prejudicially about mobile games or musou ever again lest they face legally enforced financial restitution. fuck the review man let's talk mods in the comments
