About the Game
Tetris® Effect: Connected is Tetris like you’ve never seen it, or heard it, or felt it before—an incredibly addictive, unique, and breathtakingly gorgeous reinvention of one of the most popular puzzle games of all time.
In all of the 30+ gorgeous single-player stages and 10+ modes, and in both cooperative or competitive online and local multiplayer modes, everything in Tetris® Effect: Connected—music, backgrounds, sounds, special effects—everything, down to the Tetriminos themselves, pulse, dance, shimmer, and explode in perfect sync with how you’re playing and the award-winning soundtrack, taking Tetris’s already fiendishly-addictive replayability to new heights.
FEATURES
Includes the all-new “Zone” mechanic, where players can stop time (and Tetriminos falling) by entering “the Zone” and either get out of a sticky situation that could otherwise lead to “Game Over,” or rack up extra Line Clears for bonus rewards.
Tailored for Steam, capable of running at resolutions of 4K or more with an uncapped framerate (with Vsync disabled) and includes ultra-wide monitor support as well as other expanded game and graphical options not found in the console release for both 2D and VR play (including adjustable particle volume and size, texture filtering, and more).
“Connected” co-op mode, where up to three players can literally connect their Tetris playfields together and play as one.
10+ single-player Effect modes with varying twists on the classic Tetris formula, designed to evoke different moods the player might be in (or want to be in — i.e. chill out with “Relax,” concentrate with “Focus,” enjoy the familiarity/nostalgia of “Classic” modes or try something unique with “Adventurous.”), as well as appeal to varying skill levels.
Nostalgic stages based on old-school Tetris games, as well as Classic Score Attack multiplayer mode with the rules and appearance of 8-bit Tetris.
Fully featured multiplayer, including cross-platform play with all other platforms, matchmaking for Ranked play, robust options for Friend matches, player progression for unlockable avatars, and more!

If this game were simply just Tetris but with cool visual effects. I would still give this game a recommendation. But it's way more than just that. This is a pretty definitive package of everything Tetris. If you're not interested in the Journey mode, there's still your standard marathon, sprint, and ultra modes you'd expect from a modern Tetris game. But they also added more than just that. It has modes specifically for just playing the game casually, like the Chill Marathon and the various "playlists" they've set up. They added some specific modes designed to help you practice and get better at specific things in the game, like getting perfect clears or combos. They even have a mode for playing the classic NES version of the game, which I love! :3
It's all of this, plus the amazing visuals and great music while playing the game, that makes me love it. The Journey mode is really fun to return to every now and again, and makes me feel pretty emotional by the end of it most of the time! :3
I love this game <3

I wish this would go on sale more often, as it's very difficult to convince people Tetris is worth $40, it is, it absolutely is, and it's honestly worth more, but still, Tetris can be a tough sell to the unaffiliated. To the unaffiliated, it is. Don't deliberate another second, pick it up. This is the best version of a perfect game, that should be enough.

I think this is one of the best Tetris experiences you can get in the modern day. There's a lot of different modes with different gameplay types, themes, and a fairly expansive competitive online multiplayer. Not only that, but I think it's one of the best applications of optional VR in a game.
My only complaint with the game is that I would advise players to please not go for all achievements. It was an absurd grind that took me nearly 100 hours on and off over the course of a year.

On xbox I have 147h in this game, bought it again so I can play on deck. It's among my all time favourite games, and probably the best Tetris game to date, with great visuals and containing almost every game mode imaginable from other Tetris games, like Tetris grand master, and even a classic NES Tetris mode. If you want to play any tetris game, this is your best pick. Do get it on sale tho, full price is overkill and the sales happen often enough.

A prime example of how to make Tetris fun, refreshing, and emotional. Probably the best entry for casuals before they join the hot depths of hell that is TETR.IO.
