I bought this because I don’t really have anything to play on Switch right now. I’m playing a lot of stuff on PC and 3DS, and I haven’t really bought a lot of new releases on Switch because I’m not exactly too liquid right now! I’ve heard a lot about these ‘Grandmaster’ titles and decided to try one out. The result was me sinking hours and hours almost everyday this week trying to get that top spot on the rankings. I usually try and watch something while playing whatever “““casual””” game I’m playing, however, and what I never seemed to realize was that Tetris requires 100% of my attention when I’m intensely trying to be the very best. A “grand master,” if you will. So intense, however, that I was beginning to get really frustrated as I couldn’t get over a wall I’d found myself at around level 399 with an S2 grade that I could get to around 5 minutes and change. So, I found myself irritable, distracted, and not really doing much else with the free time afforded to me by my being unemployed (and not liquid enough to purchase new vices and addictions). I think I’m gonna hang up the Tetris towel for the next couple of weeks, and when I do pick it up, I think I’ll get into something a little more light-hearted. Like, Tetris DS or something. Hopefully my Switch doesn’t miss me too much.
