I just realized it has physical so I can get it for $30 after GCU at Best Buy. Even more tempting. I like to have games to randomly play (Resogun is my current one).

is there no button to make the tetraminos fall down instantly? and i gotta say, since Child of Eden i really don´t like the music in Miz´games...much too mellow, the female vocals sound cheesy, same was in Rez Infinite Zone X...

i loved the more technoid sounds in Rez because i like techno/psytrance/dark progressive stuff in general, this female vocal stuff is too cheesy for me

edit: ok, pressing up makes the blocks fall down instantly

cheers, found out by pressing every button available .-)

yeah, the graphics are cool with the effects but as i said the music is not my thing so far, will play a few levels if it gets better...other than that i like it, its what i would expect of a game called "Tetris Effect" but i wouldn´t buy it for the demanded price, will wait for a sale on this one

Played the demo. Immediately fell in love with it, as expected. Tetsuya Mizuguchi, you did it again. It's beautiful!

Thanks for posting the video.
That's one beautiful theme. Pls tell me it will be available separately later like the Rez infinite themes. Cause I'm broke and can't get the game right now.

Yep. It'll be available to purchase later as I understand it.

Why is it that I always do better when I am four lines from the top? I haven't truly understood the tetris effect yet.

I just found this video of a Tetris expert playing. Prepare to have your Tetris skill feel worthless...

Nice ZT stacking and use of the Zone meter.

How is that even possible? All his parts fit perfectly everywhere? I always get parts that I don't need.
The piece generator in modern Tetris games always give you an even distribution of the 7 different shapes. So, you'll never get more than 2 of the same piece in a row, and you'll never have more than a 12-piece drought before seeing the same piece again. Combined with the option to hold pieces and see several pieces ahead, it's not that difficult to plan and build specific patterns.

invalid for using 4 preview pieces like a scrub. did not know there was a perfectris, I was only two lines away from it. :(

they dont fit but he memorizes how to lock the junk together to create T pieces gapes which is how you keep the well clean. also turning on the color coded option and zooming in helps a ton. the visual effects while pretty are crippling for competitive play.

I adore Hydelic's music, including the poppy female vocals, though I have to admit the lyrics are a little cringe. Like the stuff people say on acid that they think is profound but is really like "We should all love each other."

That said, Tetris Effect's music is pretty eclectic. It's not all like that.

I don't have a problem with the price by itself, but I don't think I could justify a double dip of this at 40 dollars, which makes me hesitate on buying it now.
That was exactly what I meant with that. I rather wait and hope it comes to the Switch because there is no way I pay 40 bucks twice for Tetris.

I downloaded the UK demo yesterday.

It doesn't appear when you search for it...but on my PC, when I clicked the demos link at the side of the page, Tetris is the first demo there.

Great shout, I just got it on the ps app

Tried it just now and wow that was an experience. Played through the first 3 levels on beginner. The backgrounds aren't as distracting as I expected. The music really does put you in a zone. When I finished I felt like I'd come out of a bit of trance. I want even elwearing the vr helmet. I was going to wait for a sale but for something this good I'm going to put down the money straight away.

After couple of hours I decided not to buy it now - the game feels and plays great, beaten all stages and marathon on expert, will try to beat mystery mode today - my main problem, at higher speeds I'm fully concentrated on playing area, and have no time to look around - and what happens around is the best in this game.. and I'm just missing it all the time. Unlike in Lumines, I can't see the whole picture, in both senses. I feel like to make Tetris was some kind of life goal for Mizuguchi, though, and I'm glad he did it.

for the UK store it can be found in the 'demo' section of the store. No idea why it doesn't show up after searching for it though.

Is just my idea or the movement of the pieces is only at 30 fps and everything else 60?

It's distracting

It's pretty good but feels like a 20 quid game, tops. 35 quid no chance. That Indian sounding tune is crap too. Obviously gonna be hit and miss music and skin wise as usual.

Really fantastic, and exceeded my expectations. I was a tad nervous about the price, but it's about what I paid for Lunimes on the PSP, and it seems like there is quite a bit here.

Would love to try it in VR.

My 4 year old just preordered this for me while I was taking out the garbage. I was going to pick it up at some point but still, lol.

I liked the demo though, just wish it would remember how far I zoom in after each round.
