Tetris Effect: Connected

It is a recommendation with a very strong qualifier. Why I recommend: AMAZING visual and musical experience, it is literally the way to play tetris in 2026. Tetris is timeless, perhaps the best game ever made; tetris effect makes tetris even more timeless. Beautiful to play. I love this game for what it is. Now, the strong qualifier: be prepared to be very frustrated with play on steam deck. The dpad on steam deck makes this game incredibly difficult for anyone who has played tetris on multiple systems. The problem is false diagonals and false drops because something is wrong with how the game controls on Steam Deck compared to any other system I have played tetris on (many systems). When sequences get very fast you need to move pieces quicker and that is when the problem comes around because you will get all sorts of drops in the wrong spot, it is like the controller is moving faster than what is on screen. In game menu settings offers sensitivity toggles and a locked toggle that does not allow diagonals, but it does not matter because the issue is in how the dpad on the steam deck is not in sync with the game, it is almost like you press once and it moves twice. Not literally, but it feels like that. I am at the point where I am trying to sort out how to play it off of steam deck, but I do not have a system that will play this file.

It's a little bit too much for just wanting to play tetris, but i'm not complaining about the graphics either.

It's tetris, with epic music and mesmerizing effects. Something to be had here for any skill level of the game no matter how good you get. Love it
