Frustrating and addictive

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020

I was recommended this game by my therapist as a way to help clear my thoughts and relax. It mostly does that. The soundtrack is fun, the different levels having different music, themes, and designs is very cool. But don't be fooled, Tetris Effect is challenging and you will get frustrated as you continue to progress. However, the difficulty is adjustable and there are quite a few different styles of play (like marathon, practice, specific combos) so the replay value is awesome

Not the best use of VR

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2019

The way I see it there are two ways to enjoy this game:

Number one; Tetris. Tetris is Tetris. By now everyone knows what that is. If you're concentrating on playing the game the VR aspect is wasted on you since you're not paying attention to the background. If you're paying attention to the background your Tetris game will suffer.

The other way to enjoy the game is to turn the difficulty to easy and just trip out on the VR experience. The music and the visuals are hypnotic and can put you into a trance. Your trance may depend on what you've decided to put into your body before playing. If you want to trip out to crazy videos in VR you can download the PS Youtube app for free and find some cool stuff there.

The only reason I bought this was because the price temporarily dropped to $19.99 when the product was out of stock. I think paying $30-$40 for this game is too much unless you are a HUGE Tetris fan. It's a cool experience and you can spend more time playing this than a lot of the short PSVR games that are out there but to me it's not worth paying full price for.

***UPDATE***

After beating the main game you can check out all of the visuals without having to play Tetris at the same time, so if you want to sit back, relax and trip out you have that option. But completing the main game takes considerable skill.

Looks incredible, plays well. It's beautiful in VR and flat mode, sound track is amazing, just lovely. If you can get it digital, I would, since its a game to pick up and play for 20 minutes more than a long form title (unless you really really love Tetris). But when you sit down to play it's like a trip to another dimension and so much fun. I do have one critique, which is that it's 1 player. If this was multiplayer, I could delete the older Tetris titles from my system.

This game is a lot of fun. It’s the traditional game with a bunch of different modes. Only downfall is there is no multiplayer. I would have liked a competitive mode but it’s still a lot of fun and something to relax to at the end of the night.

Great game. I haven't played it in VR (which I heard was the way to go) but regardless it's a super fun take on a old game. Bright colors, cool level design, lots of cool different new modes and relaxing music - love the new iteration of this game. A staple in anyone's PS4 library. Easy to pick up, difficult to master.

If you have a psvr head set and don't have this game by now you are really missing out. The game is absolutely amazing, it gives you the feeling of being in another world dimension, and rewards you every step of the way, which most amers love and expect. I have nothing but good things to say about this game and it is worth every penny. THANK YOU WHO PLAY STATION FOR BRINGING ONE OF MY MOST BELOVED CHILDHOOD GAMES INTO THE FUTURE AND KNOCKING IT OUT THE PARK:)

The game is great! Visuals and sound are a nice touch. VR mode is decent. I personally enjoy the couch co-op and challenge modes. This game is relaxing and tense at the same time.

Very pretty, but still just Tetris

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019

I keep seeing this ranked as being one of the best VR games out there, so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm not a huge Tetris fan, but I was curious. It is an extremely pretty version of Tetris. It's like playing tick-tac-toe, where each selection involves fireworks, while a stadium of bizarre characters cheers you on. Ok, not quite, but this pretty much describes how much of this game involves changes in the original game play, and how much of it is window dressing.

It does have a lot of good features, although I don't know how many of these are common among previous iterations. It has a "saved part" buffer that allows you to shift to the next part and place the previous part later. It has good left/right shifting, rotating, drop-now, etc. Overall, I'm not sure how much benefit I get from these shifts since I'm not terribly practiced at the game in the first place.

Only thing missing is multiplayer...

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019

It's so cool how they took such an old simple game and made it so beautiful with fantastic graphics and a stellar soundtrack. Very few games on PS4 sound THIS great on my 5.1 system. The game also offers various game modes, challenges, playlists, etc, so you don't have to do the same thing every time.

There is only one drawback, and it is HUGE.... Where is the multiplayer? I would LOVE to invite some friends over so we could play together but it's missing! How in the world does a feature the original game had over 30 years ago go missing on such a great remake! If not for this blunder, I would have given 5 stars.
