Tetris Effect: Connected

I'm reviewing this from the perspective of a VR only player. I've never played the game outside of VR. I love Tetris. I love VR. Yet for some reason I thought the idea of Tetris in VR sounded... unnecessary. I was very wrong. The journey mode is incredibly beautiful and something that is best experienced in VR. The visuals and music are moving and add way more to the immersion than I would have thought possible. Outside of journey, the multiplayer is great and I've never had trouble connecting with other players. As a Tetris lover I have no doubt that multiplayer is fun on screen mode as well, but VR ruined me and now I can't see playing Tetris any other way. If you love Tetris and you love VR, don't hesitate. On paper this game should have no business being in my top 5 VR games of all time along with heavy hitters like The Forest and Valheim, yet its earned a solid spot at the top and I don't think its ever going to be knocked down.

Classic gameplay, incredible atmosphere. Now I just want a brick breaker game with the same treatment.

One of my favorite games ever. I use Tetris as a way to think. The music in the game is what made me get this version in particular. I wish I could play it more than I have. Unfortunately, I have developed some issues with strobing and flashing lights in the last year or two, which are used obsessively in the game and it's not something that can be turned off. If there was an accessibility feature that turned off the backgrounds or maybe have them as static images with less flashing lights I think I would love this particular version of Tetris more. As it is, while I can't play it much, I would recommend it to anyone else who can. I will just have to go find one that doesn't make me want to be sick or pass out.
