In summary, Tetris Effect: Connected is the easiest game to recommend, with just a couple of exceptions; In its purest form, it is Tetris, first and foremost, and from an aesthetic standpoint, it is a beautiful showcase of what VR games can achieve, almost perfectly now thanks to the improved performance and power of the PSVR2. But for those who have already played the previous version ad nauseum and/or don’t own a PSVR2 (much less a PS5, as the console can still be tricky to find), it may not be worth the upgrade price, even if it is relatively cheap. Those two caveats aside, this is a must-have game that will impress even the most hesitant of folks over the unique experience of VR gaming.
Jorge S. Fernández · Mar 06, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewA weird bug, but easily solved by restoring the defaults. Playing Tetris Effect with them is fine, but the sticks are fairly sensitive, and we frequently found ourselves hard-dropping tetrominoes by mistake
Stephen Tailby · Mar 02, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewIt’s crazy to say that Tetris, a game from 1984, feels brand new, but with Tetris Effect: Connected and a dash of virtual reality, it really does. The new single players offer a handful of new modes beyond simply trying to set a high score, and the multiplayer provides an ever-expanding set of new ways to play.
Ron Burke · Feb 21, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full reviewTetris Effect: Connected is excellent. For many, this is an audio/video experience that is a piece of art and easy to digest because the game is so easy to pick up and play. The various single-player experiences provide something to players who are looking for more than just high scores, and while the multiplayer isn't as frantic as Tetris 99, it is still something that one can return to countless times. Even if you aren't lucky enough to view this in VR, Tetris Effect is still well worth experiencing.
Cody Medellin · Dec 02, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThere’s barely anything we can say against Tetris Effect: Connected. It’s a fantastically fresh take on a puzzler that refuses to age. This Switch iteration is the definitive way to play the game thanks to the handheld element too.
Simon Reed · Oct 26, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTetris is Tetris, so well known and broadly adored. And even if Tetris Effect: Connected is familiar, it’s still great fun. The refinements make it a worthy addition to your Switch library, even if some of the tunes can be hit or miss.
Trevor Gould · Oct 20, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTetris Effect: Connected is an incredible experience top to bottom whether playing alone or with others in the newly added competitive modes. Its effortless blending of stunning visuals and euphoric music make this so much more than just a mere puzzle game though. It’s a sensory overload, an uplifting journey and even an emotional one at times where every moment spent is nothing short of mesmerising.
Ryan Janes · Oct 19, 2021 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewTetris Effect: Connected is perhaps the best Tetris will ever be. If you enjoy the classic block puzzle game and like the idea of playing to a backdrop of beautiful audio and visuals, then you’ll absolutely love it. With a huge amount of content, including a truly original multiplayer mode, this really is an incredible game – and it feels right at home in a handheld format. Sorry Tetris 99, you’re not the Switch’s best Tetris game anymore.
Kim Snaith · Oct 14, 2021 Reviewed on PS5, SwitchRead full reviewIt may lack some of the visual flair seen on more powerful platforms, and in handheld mode, headphones are all but necessary to appreciate the intense rhythm of levels like Ritual Passion that rely so heavily on the blend of hypnotic visuals and incredible audio to deliver Effect's uniquely euphoric experience.
Mike Epstein · Oct 13, 2021 Reviewed onRead full reviewTetris Effect: Connected has reached the point where it can cater to just about any player, with each platform having its own particular strengths, from those looking to lose themselves to VR to just having it there on Game Pass as a convenient pick-me-up. The Switch release further expands those options as one that you can take anywhere, while also being a terrific advert for the new OLED model.

FINALLY! Finally i find a game that will stay in my Switch for a long-long time i guess. Selalu susah untuk dapetin game yang cuma buat killing time, simple gameplay tapi tetep have fun. Selalu suka game block-puzzle seperti Tetris dari dulu, di semua device yang dicari untuk sekedar killing time ya gak jauh-jauh tema nya block-puzzle. Tired of story missions game, ya baliknya ke game casual seperti ini. And once again, FINALLY I FIND IT! STORY What you expect in this game? I mean this is just an arcade, block puzzle game. You want a nice story? OF COURSE THERE IS! Awalnya sangat tidak expect kalo game Tetris akan ada story nya, ya niatnya kan cuma buat killing time, main block puzzle, udah close game kalo emang udah cukup. Tapi di TEC ini, alurnya ada loh meskipun emang sangat random dan abstrak ya, tapi setelah player tamatin Journey Mode nya, game ini ternyata selama ini lagi nyeritain cerita yang gak diduga-duga sama playernya. Seperti yang gue bilang, abstrak, jadi terserah aja si player mau bilang apa soal storynya, but it's beautiful. GAMEPLAY Another legendary game, comes with perfect improvement. Dari pertama kali gue main Tetris di Gamebot udah ngerasa ini game sangat ngebuat gue jadi happy sih. Saat itu, gak ada target, cuma disuruh survive aja. Nah kalo di TEC, khususnya Journey Mode, player diajak seperti berpetualang, ngelewatin berbagai scenery dengan berbagai level nya yang bervariasi. Basic rule memang masih sama, tapi feelnya beda banget. This is ridicolously perfect dan bikin game TEC ini ya i think the best of Tetris series. VISUAL Tidak ada kata selain BEAUTIFUL! Oke mungkin selama gue bermain emang gak perhatiin visual backgroundnya ya, karena gue aja main game nya susah fokus tuh gimana sambil liatin visualnya tu. Dan untung aja, setelah tamat, gue bisa liat visual secara keseluruhannya di tiap level dan..... idk man, it's a beautiful art. SCORING Visual background nya TEC memang GG, tapi yang lebih-lebih buat game ini jadi sempurna ya dari audio nya. Lu pernah bayangin gak sih main Tetris tapi setiap move nya tuh ada voice effectnya terus disupport juga sama ada lagu-lagu EDM yang juga sinkron sama gerakan yang udah lu buat. Tiap ganti level, audio music nya berbeda. Perpaduan vocal dan Synth dan instrumen lainnya bener-bener bikin eargasm woyyy. Apalagi kalo mainnya pake headphone yang ngedukung, udahlah pulang-pulang. OVERALL STORY - 8/10. You want a nice story? OF COURSE THERE IS! GAMEPLAY - 10/10. Another legendary game, comes with perfect improvement. VISUAL - 9/10. It's a beautiful art. SCORING - 10/10. Make it perfect.
Reviewed on SwitchThis game will let you feel like meditating while playing and solving the classic Tetris puzzle. Played on PCVR with my oculus quest added more depth and meaning to this. I love this game. It is too wholesome and simple, didn't get away from the concept of Tetris.

Reviewed on SwitchTetris Revisited for the best
Reviewed on PCTetris effect connected is probably the best tetris game i've every played, playing journey mode is going to give me epilepsy soon, it's so HD and Bright, colours changing non-stop, and playing with friends is fun, there's different game modes for Playing with friends. There's 1v1 or play together and beat a Ai Boss, and wow the ai Boss is hard for beginners, as i play more and more, i learn alot from playing a single Tetris game. It's really fun and you should try it.
