Tetris Effect: Connected Review Review

Trying to eliminate certain blocks, perform combos, and get high scores within certain criteria provides a fantastic amount of replay value. Meanwhile, you’ll level up and can see other players circling the planet but these components are mostly superficial albeit interesting.

We could, as so many have, sing the praises of Naughty Dog’s unrivaled technical prowess. But, boiled down, the key thing to know about this tremendous game is that it’s all but guaranteed to elicit emotion. Rage, elation, and anything in between, no one who’s played this game can reasonably say they walked away feeling nothing. Whether you played the 1997 original a dozen times or have no clue what a Tifa is, there’s something to like about Final Fantasy VII Remake, a bold reimagination of one of gaming’s great role-playing games.

So far I have been pretty complimentary of the Tetris board game since the game is better than I expected it would be.
