Tetris is the most well-known puzzle game in the video game world. It featured on the NES but also has had different iterations of the game and launched other puzzle titles like Wario's Woods, Kirby's Avalanche, Dr. Mario as well. This game started it all for puzzle games and it still lives on well today. What does Tetris do well? What makes this game fun? All that and more below.
Positives:
1. Speed- Like with Dr. Mario, speed is a major plus but with this you have time to think if you want, rather than decide right away. You have options which if you are a fast player is fine, or if you are more methodical player to learn more as the game goes along.
2. Difficulty- Kind of like the speed part, the difficulty picks up as you beat levels. This isn't a long game so long as you do well with figuring out the puzzles without running out of space! It can be super addictive to play and have fun with over time to challenge yourself.
3. Music- This game is strangely good in the music department. I enjoy the sounds of the game of Tetris and it is something to behold for most every player.
4. A game that can be run so many ways- This is an oddity but this game can be done with so many puzzle strategies it is ridiculous how open it is. It's one of the more fun things about this game and that kind of separates it from other puzzle type games.
Negatives:
1. Repetition- Yes there are many ways but it feels repetitive with no major thing other than figure out to clear the level to the next one. There are variations of the blocks and you can adjust the speed of the game, but overall just the repetition is the only major thing wrong with this game.
Rating:
Honestly I'd have to give this game a solid 9 to 9.5 out of 10. It's a good game, one that has withstood time and really had a lot of iterations of it on PC, Switch and so forth. So it's a game with it's speed and difficulty with being a puzzle game that is really just great overall.
