- 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 review - A 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 review - 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.
Ron Burke · Feb 21, 2023 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Tetris 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 review - There’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 review - Tetris 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 review - Tetris 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 review - Tetris 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 review - It 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 review - Tetris 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.
