    Tetris Effect: Connected is the definitive edition of the classic puzzle game, mixing its formula with Lumines' synesthetic effect and lots of modes, including the completely new and highly engaging co-op Connected mode. A game that won't leave our consoles for many years.

    I may not be seeing tetrominos during my day job, but I do have a newfound obsession with Tetris. Since starting this game, I've gone down YouTube rabbit holes learning about t-spins, tips, and tricks to improve my Tetris game. I've replayed modes to beat my previous high score, which I don't normally do in games. Even after this review, I'm eager to jump back into Journey mode to hear some of my favorite songs before booting up another title. As an added bonus, the multiplayer options make for a solid package that should offer players tons of hours of Tetris.

    So I have left my initial impressions intact below, this morning Saturday 14th of November 2020 the game has been updated over night and fixed the issues I was having, so I have changed my score accordingly. It is a great game

    Xbox Series X - not as optimised as advertised. I have cleared each of the levels in this game multiple times on PS4 Pro, it is great so I was looking forward to jumping in on the new series x, and earning some achievements and the enjoying the challenge. There is a big unfortunately coming...

    The performance of the game is pretty poor, with noticeable slow down and input lag, occasionally even crashing to the Home Screen. I have tried to record the game but Microsoft’s limit of screen capture to only 15 seconds, and also crashing anytime I try to upload the captured poor performance is just another issue. The game looks gorgeous, the music is catchy and mesmerising, I hope for a patch to come through and fix these issues, because at the moment playing at the higher levels of difficulty are exercises in absolute frustration.

    I loaded up the game on PS4 Pro and then the PS5 in backwards compatible mode and had no issues, so it’s specific to the Series X and the Connected version of the game    … Expand
