Tetris Effect: Connected

Tetris Effect: Connected is the definitive Tetris experience to this day. It boasts a plethora of single player and multiplayer modes. There’s something for everyone when it comes to this game.

Tetris Effect: Connected is as essential as it ever was and its PSVR2 debut adds yet more polish and immersive features to what was already the best Tetris game money can buy. I would award Tetris Effect: Connected more than ten out of ten I could, but I can't, so here we are. Buy it.

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...

It’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. It’s a worthy addition to the PSVR2 launch lineup.

Tetris Effect Connected was announced for Xbox Series X back in July, brining Tetris Effect to the console and adding multiplayer in the process. While Xbox faithful mightn’t have realised what that really meant, PC and PlayStation users were likely grinning ear-to-ear and saying, “welcome to the party.”

The first Tetris Effect was a fantastic VR experience released back in 2018. I have previously mentioned how difficult it is to make something as pristine and classic as Tetris feel innovative almost forty years after its original release. However, audiovisual madman Tetsuya Mizuguchi achieved just that, with a new take on the Tetris formula meant to enhance the senses, bombarding the player with ...
