![]() In Tetris, you put blocks down, you make a line of blocks, you clear them and get points. I’ll at least explain the super fundamentals for the sake of writing integrity. I’m not going to go into depth on the mechanics of these games in any way, because explaining their basics would be really boring (do you really want an explanation of the tiers of line clears in Tetris? Does anyone want to read that?), explaining the inner depth would be better suited to a straight-up guide, and writing about puzzle game gameplay just never works. So, what’s the basic gist of Puyo Puyo Tetris 2? It’s pretty simple, it’s a package with a bunch of modes, some of which can be played with only one game type, but most can be played either with Puyo Puyo or Tetris. I actually feel confident in talking about it now. I also want to point out I’m coming at this as a Tetris person I’ve practiced my Puyo game since the preview I wrote, I’m still not good at it, but I have a deeper understanding now. For Puyo Puyo, that’s mainly Puyo Puyo Champions, but I’m also counting both versions of Puyo Puyo 2 on the Switch, and for Tetris, I’m putting it up against Tetris Effect (and Connected) and Tetris 99. Throughout this review, I’m directly comparing this game to the other games both series currently have available. Are there any unique mechanics? How do two vastly different puzzle games interact? What’s the difference between this and the first game? How does it stack up to other Puyo Puyo games on the market right now? How does it stack up to other Tetris games on the market? Will this game put you on the path to achieving ultimate puzzle power? All of these and more shall be answered promptly. My review of the game is ‘yes.’ That doesn’t necessarily mean ‘go buy it’, though, more on that later.įor everyone else, you may want to know deeper details. Do you like Tetris? Do you like Puyo Puyo? Do you want a breezy fun puzzle game for your system? Do you like puzzle games? Do you want a fun puzzle game you can play online with your friends? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions, and that’s ALL that matters to you, then I can easily recommend Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. Neither of the puzzle games included change at their core from game to game, at least not anymore. ![]() This is a game where, you kinda already know if you’ll like it by the title. I write this with the thought that you know what one of those is, and you’re wondering if this is a good version. This review is not written under the pretense that you don’t know what a Teris or Puyo Puyo is. ![]() ![]() But now that it’s out, I gotta ask myself: does that comfort hold up after a few weeks of playing? When I previewed this game, I mentioned how it was comforting how little had changed between games, because it meant I was gonna have a good time regardless of which one I booted up. But it’s also not the only time they’ve been in one package. ![]() Puyo Puyo and Tetris are two of the biggest puzzle games on the planet, they have such long, storied histories, they play in such similar yet contrasting ways, it’s fascinating playing a game that has them both in one package. And that’s awesome! I love these games!īut there’s a lot of them. Why do you play them? I play them because I want something fun and simple that puts my brain to work, or to put my brain against some other person’s brain and see who can work their brain better, or something. Puzzle games! They’re fun! They’re varied! They’re kind of strange to talk about, too, they’re very weird and specific in that way. ![]()
