    Its basically a perfect game. It never feels dated and has one of the most horribly catchy songs ever created by man. Its weird that it’s so fun, its like as simple as you can really boil down a game, its literally just arranging blocks into lines. But it just clicks with the human brain on some deep level.

    Tetris Effect and TETR.IO are unironically the best versions of Tetris out right now.

    Tetris Effect not only has amazing visuals, it brought a brand new mechanic (Zone) into the formula that made multiplayer matches suspenseful and exciting to watch again.

    TETR.IO is not an officially licensed Tetris game, so legally it’s just a block-stacking game. Still, it currently boasts the best multiplayer system out right now, with a consistently high player count to boot.

    This might be the earliest game that is linked to my existence, as my mother bought a Game Boy and played this while pregnant :). Later on I played the same cartridge on my first gaming console: a green Game Boy Color. I cannot fathom the amount of hours I’ve played this game in my life.

    When going to University, I found my Game Boy Color in a closet. After swapping out the batteries I realized that it still worked perfectly and I played it throughout Uni, sometimes even during lectures. I remember all my friends being excited when I got close to breaking my personal record, it was a really fun time.

    Of the recent versions I really liked Tetris Effect (even if only for the phenomenal trailer). Tetris 99 is also pretty cool, but I’m really bad at competitive tetris so I never even got close to winning.
