yep its puyo
i actually like the modern cartoony art style better than the old art style
its cuter, and we all know cute is justice
other than that, this game is just as much puyo as any other puyo puyo title. Theres a new gamemode where you build a meter and spend it to take out the enemy which is neat.
Not sure why you would want to play this one in particular these days since most later puyo games include fever as a gamemode and then some, but for its time this is a pretty neat expansion on the puyo formula and a refreshing rebrand.
