About Tetris Effect

Named after a real-world phenomenon where players' brains are so engrossed that images of the iconic falling Tetrimino blocks linger in their vision, thoughts, and even dreams, Tetris Effect amplifies this magical feeling of total immersion by surrounding you with fantastic, fully three-dimensional worlds that react and evolve based on how you play. Music, backgrounds, sounds, special effects - everything, down to the Tetris pieces themselves, pulse, dance, shimmer, and explode in perfect sync with how you're playing.

It's competent and hypnotic in short bursts, but I keep feeling the puzzle itself hasn't evolved much beneath the lights and sound.

ELO progression

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,801 ELO points over the last 215 days.

    Booted it up again last month with fresh eyes, no nostalgia involved. It still holds up better than most puzzle games releasing today.

    ¿En serio comparas Osu! con esto? Uno pide precisión pura, el otro te lo pone todo servido con luces.

    Replying to Samuel_75

    La verdad es que la respuesta táctil y el input siguen siendo impecables incluso en las sesiones más largas.

    Compared it to Audiosurf a bit, or tried to, since I never sank real hours into either one. The feeling is close but this one dresses it up way more.

    Le côté "habillé" c'est justement ce qui me gêne, ça enrobe un puzzle assez simple sous des tonnes d'effets.

    Est-ce que ce classement récompense vraiment le jeu ou juste l'expérience sensorielle qu'on vend autour ? Parce que sans les effets, on parle d'un Tetris comme un autre non ?

    ¿Sin los efectos seguiría en este puesto del ranking, o es justo eso lo que lo sostiene aquí arriba?

    Lo jugué durante una temporada bastante dura, casi todas las noches antes de dormir, y no sabría decir si me ayudó a desconectar o si simplemente lo necesitaba para no pensar en otra cosa.
