Genres swinging from pop, to folk, to syncopated Eastern music, even windmills somehow create a musical score. The soundtracks and levels are expansive and varied. Oh yes! Once I started playing this game, I couldn’t put it down. The cherry on top was the vibration in my controllers to the beat of the music. Every rotation of a block, every decisive descent of a block it was all playing musical notes - all in key, and in time with the music.

What I hadn’t initially noticed was that every move I made also built the soundtrack. By the time I had cleared line 25, the whole Earth was in front of me – with a swelling score and vocals to boot. The requirement was to clear 36 lines worth of Tetrominoes to clear the level.Īs I progressed, the environment slowly started to change. I started immediately in the games ‘Journey’ mode, in a level called ‘The Depths.’ A black screen greeted me with a few odd-looking fish swimming around and the unmistakable Tetris container. But what took me by surprise was the attention to detail, and just how immersive it is.

I had to try to understand for myself why a Tetris game in 2020 could be so pricey, and whether or not it was worth the money. To me, it didn’t seem like a big enough deal to justify the commitment. The rough idea that I got from the marketing materials is that this is Tetris, but immersive. Intrigued, I watched a few trailers and checked out a few screenshots. This time around, I took a look at a pricey Tetris game, and sought to find out if it is worth your time and money (£25, seriously?).
