What's that old saying? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Very little about the fundamental gameplay of Tetris has altered since 1984, which is a testament to the simple genius of its concept. Tetris Effect simply builds upon what Soviet software engineer Alexey Pajitnov created almost forty years ago. Suitably named after the phenomenon in which players would find its puzzles impacting their thoughts and dreams, Effect bolsters the game with a phantasmagoria of hypnotic images, sounds and sensations. Oh, and it's really challenging. Like, I mean, really fucking challenging.
