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.
Some of the best PS5 games are exclusives like God of War Ragnarok and Astro Bot, but there are some indie highlights as well.
Tetris Effect: Connected is getting a physical PS5 and PSVR 2 version soon from Limited Run Games, in Standard and Collectors editions.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"Tetris. The name that everyone knows and may be one of the games that more people have played has been around for decades that had spanned books, video documentaries, and films.
Now Tetris Effect: Connected is on the PS VR2. How does it 'stack' up to the PS VR1 version?"
"spanned books, video documentaries, and films" - don't forget science (The Tetris Effect was a study that described seeing things in your mind's eye long after you've finished a repeated activity, like when you play too much Tetris and all you can see when you close your eyes is the falling blocks!) and music (there was a cool club adaptation of the theme tune a few decades back!).
Great game - the best Tetris by miles in my opinion, and this is comfortably the best version.
'The game has been released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, but only the PC has had what I consider to be the full experience – VR. You know how to play Tetris, but you’ve never played Tetris like this.'.
Did I miss something? I was playing the PS4 version on PS5 with PSVR at the weekend.
