Tetris Effect

 

Who would have expected that an extremely old game like Tetris could bring back this brilliant picture, no one but those who well know the former Sega designer whose dreamy imagination Tetsuya Mizuguchi mastermind behind this unique experience. Tetris Effect is available on Playstation and we review it for you.
As we have always used, we will start this review with a brief introduction to Tetris games and our continuous goal is to put the reader in the picture and to know the historical conditions of this game or other to the current product.
Tetris is a game coming from the icy lands of Russia, specifically from the designer Alexey Pajitnov, named after the Greek term Tetra, which refers to the four parts that make up the falling pieces in the game. Tetris was released on many platforms in the 1980s but the popularity of the game exploded on the Nintendo Gameboy mobile device.
Since then Tetris has achieved a lot of huge sales on various platforms that have been licensed to use the game's brand. Tetris for those who do not know is the best-selling game in the history of video games with a total of nearly 500 million game since the eighties and to this day.

 Let's talk about the Tetris Effect game, this game in essence is the traditional Tetris experience just as the fans have known. There are four pieces, each of which consists of four parts. The players have to drop these pieces inside the playing area. When these pieces cover a whole line on the board, this line is cleared. The players have to scan these lines continuously so that the pieces do not break and fill up. The game is full and if that happens, the player will lose.
The game offers a basic stage, the Journey stage, and perhaps the name illustrates the technical purpose behind this game, which aims to mix backgrounds and visual effects with musical melodies and the way to play to get a magical experience. Journey is a series of different stages in the general axis. Each play area has its own musical and artistic style and is different from the rest.
The new addition of this version of Tetris in terms of play is a feature Zone, this feature allows the freezing of time for a short period of time, giving the player the opportunity to breathe and drop objects in the correct places to erase more lines, and we are confident that players will be in dire need To use this property repeatedly and with the frightening speed of falling objects on the playing area, yes this game is not for the faint of heart.
The side of Tetris Effect is entirely the artistic aspect, this game has contributed a lot to the use of backgrounds and music interactively wonderful. Some stages have great interactive music such as the one that contained piano music, where the tones were closely associated with playing and erasing lines.
Backgrounds and visual effects also play a role in creating the artistic experience that Tetsuya Mizuguchi wanted. For example, there is a stage called Forest Dawn that begins with the rain in the background and even the erasing of the lines carries with it the falling water effects before the precipitation stops over time to shine The sun then changes completely.

Well, what about other stages of play? Tetris Effect introduces another phase called Effects, which is just a variety of different play modes with multiple goals. There is a classic Marathon that requires the elimination of 150 lines and the achievement of the best possible score, and there are other phases that restrict the player to time or a different number of lines to be cleared, and there are other phases are only a series of successive stages that carry a similar axis Sea or wind).
Okay. Does this mean that this game is great in all its aspects? In fact, no. For lovers of puzzles, Tetris has become a very simple game compared to many other competing games, and this game does not offer any real renewal and does not offer new ideas to manipulate Tetris classic style as did another wonderful game in the past is Tetris DS, and the addition The only way to play is Zone and that is only an option to slow the time.
Even at the stage, we would have hoped that this game would have a stage for split screen competitions to play against others or even stages of team play over the net, which are offered by many other puzzle games like Sega's Puyo Puyo Tetris. Especially that the price of Tetris Effect is not cheap at all.
Tetris Effect is a game that wanted to create a unique artistic experience and succeeded in what it wanted to achieve, and we recommend that you buy the game only for those who wish to get this experience and appreciate it a lot, but otherwise the absence of collective competition and the simplicity of the basic game which is still as it is Since the 1980s are factors that reduce the value of the overall experience, there are other better options for puzzles games on various digital stores.
