Tetris Effect -- Review Thread

PSVR has another strong showing
What happened? I remember having the single most influential gaming experience in over 35 years of gaming. RE7 VR.

I don't think I get as immersed as other people do in VR. Whatever "wow" moments I get seem tempered, compared to how other people talk about their experiences. That being said, the weekend demo was rad and sold me on the game. PSVR will definitely enhance your experience.
Go into Accessibility in the PS4 Settings and switch Cross and Square around. That button configuration is saved and you just enable it whenever you play Tetris Effect. :)
Short after PSVR launch I had a lot of fun with the imo very good launch line up, a few months later came the amazing RE7, followed by Dirt Rally VR, Superhot, Polybius, Farpoint, Skyrim VR etc...
That's a fine deal. Unfortunately I'm not a resident of Trumpsland, so BF's prospects are looking a little hazier and uncertain for now. Fingers crossed though!
Had my eye on this for a while. I feel like I HAVE to play it in VR though. How much do ya'll think is a good deal for PSVR on Black Friday?
I saw it trending on twitter and thought "Huh wonder what that's all about." Then I see this thread and this game getting 10 after 10 after 10. Just a bit surprising since i'm out of the loop.
This game plus the $199 Black Friday PSVR bundle that comes with Astrobot and Moss might finally push me over the edge myself.
This might not be the right thread to ask, but does anyone know if that bundle will be available online and in decent quantities? I'm not the type to go wait in line at a store and get in a riot to save a few bucks.
VR is what you make of it. People seem to have high expectations of it being this holodeck-like experience that you just get lost in and lose the ability to separate fantasy from reality, and then lose interest quickly then they discover that it isn't that.
VR is still very much playing video games, but the camera controls are way better because they're your head. Also everything is in a very convincing, effective 3D with a sense of scale that you don't see when you watch VR videos on your monitor. The tradeoff is that the resolution and overall visual quality is toned down to allow the hardware to render everything fast enough to not make you barf. That said, the right games can be very immersive, or stimulate your mind and body in ways that playing on a TV just can't.
Anyone who is on the VR fence should try Tetris Effect for sure - it's really cool and the closest to Synesthesia that I've ever felt - did for me what Rez always wanted to. But just to make the headset "worth it" I would also recommend Astro Bot, Wipeout, Ultrawings, Moss, BattleZone, and GT Sport.
I haven't played enough to determine if it truly belongs in the pantheon of the Tetris-based elite (Tetrisphere, The New Tetris, Tetris DS) but those scores are more than well deserved.
Awesome to see is reviewing this well, my preloaded is ready to be used but I don't wanna stop my RDR2 playthrough before the story is finished, these scores might finally push me to pickup the pace a little though lol.
Here is my review in portuguese:

I don't like using the term "perfect", but it is very close.

Played the journey mode and those reviews are correct. This is an amazing game. Had tears in my eyes at some parts
$199 w/ Astrobot & Moss for black Friday (probably starting before, actually) - if you've considered jumping in, that's the perfect time.
Edit: oops, I shouldn't make the assumption you're in the US -- but, if you are, that's a heck of a deal
Game had me sold from the beginning, price made me decide to wait, but now reviews had more order it already. Going to be great whenever I muster the willpower to actually use PSVR again (it's a long standing problem of me being to lazy to use it).
You forgot someone...
I dont like borderlands, so thats why i forgot probably.
I got VR for my birthday at the tail end of last month and just completed the excellent Astro Bot last week.
This looks like my next purchase.
I feel like I've got into VR at just the right time. :)

Lovely game, just boring only single player.
