COMPLETED

The classic arcade puzzle Tetris and cyberpunk techno rail shooter Rez are some of my favorite games of all time. Tetris Effect was presented as a Tetris game by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, producer of Rez, making it a strange dream come true for me.

Analysis

Log entries

    2018-10-31
  • This looks a game that is very much up my alley, a Tetris game directed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of Rez, Lumines, and Child of Eden.
  • There should be a demo out on PS4 tomorrow. If I like it enough, it can be preordered at 10% off until November 9th.
  • 2018-11-01
  • Downloading demo ...
  • Got the score 107968 in MARATHON. I played the demo for the first time, both the JOURNEY MODE and two rounds of ENDLESS MODE, which gets insanely difficult at SPEED LV 12. This game goes for a synaesthetic effect between the game and the visuals and sound, similar to Rez or Lumines. It actually feels a lot like playing Lumines, the way the levels are structured, with a musical progression tied to line clears, and musical sound effects for all interactions.
  • Got the score 113884 in MARATHON. This is great.
  • I just preordered this to get 10% off, so 'only' 287.10 DKK. Pretty steep, but I payed more for a Tetris game before.
  • 2018-11-05
  • I'm wringing the last minutes out of the 'Weekend Demo', and then I'll have to wait until friday to play it again.
  • I have now played almost 4.5 hours of this 4 stage demo. No more Tetris Effect until friday.
  • 2018-11-07
  • The game is downloaded, will unlock in 1 day and 14 hours, so tomorrow at midnight.
  • 2018-11-09
  • Completed the game (JOURNEY MODE). The game came out at midnight exactly, and I went straight into completing JOURNEY MODE. That last level with 90 lines to clear was really difficult, and I had to retry it many times. JOURNEY MODE is cool, if a bit short.
  • I played through most of the EFFECT MODES, some of which are super fun, and others are unreasonably stressful (like MASTER). MYSTERY is fun, with its random effects, including upside down, which had me standing with my head turned around in front of my TV.
  • 2018-11-14
  • Completed the game on NORMAL difficulty (JOURNEY MODE). Yup, it's way easier when using ZONE mode.
  • Playing for an hour, I didn't manage to beat my MARATHON score.
  • 2018-11-26
  • Martin visited and played a bunch of levels. For once, it's nice to actually spend some time looking at the graphics.
  • 2019-01-26
  • Malu tried Tetris Effect and liked it, and played through JOURNEY MODE up until the horse level after the jazz level.
  • 2019-02-16
  • Nabaz and Jonas visited, and we played through all of JOURNEY MODE except for the final set of levels.
  • 2020-03-27
  • Me and Malu tried Tetris Effect in VR for the first time. I enjoyed looking around and seeing the dolphins and other water creatures in some of my favourite levels.
  • 2020-12-20
  • Jeppe needs his PSVR back, and to commemorate this sad occasion, I played some Tetris Effect in VR. I would say, it's not much different than playing normally.
  • 2023-02-04
  • Tetris Effect on PlayStation now also has the 'Connected' multiplayer component of the Xbox version. Malu and I played a few matches, enjoying the new music in these modes.
