Puyo Puyo Tetris Standard Edition - Nintendo Switch

Finally a game that combines two classics and makes one very good puzzle game. The Sega team is always cooking up some fun games and they nailed it with this one. I enjoyed it especially the Split screen action vs other players. The nephew loves the solo game play too.

This game is fun - like really fun. The Switch is a great platform to play multiplayer anwhere, anytime. And Tetris is one of those games you can pick up and play with anyone, with minimal ramp-up time. I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone who enjoys a good Tetris game, and wants to play with their friends or family.

It's a very strange combo. Tetris, some 30 year old puzzler from Russia, & Puyo Puyo, a competitive puzzler that hasn't had an American release in 13 years. Who wanted this? Turns out they go hand in hand, & the battles you can have with one game, both games at the same time, & both of them smashed together in a new puzzle type have endless possibilities. Decently sized story mode (with incentive to replay missions), multiple solo modes, split-screen multiplayer, local multiplayer, & competitive online rankings give enough content to come back for more. This was a gift for a friend, I've had it since it's April release & have put around 150 hours into the game. Would highly recommend for puzzle game fans.

It is true that the demo offers the two most important game modes. However, by purchasing the full game, you do open up additional game modes and bypass the annoying title screen that shows up after every round in the demo version. This game is a blast to play and watch with your friends and family when everyone is at a similar skill level. Unfortunately, skill discrepancies make the game not too fun for anyone, and the online skews more towards the hardcore player than the novice. For those times when you are playing alone, the story mode is charming or you can choose to just play various challenges in the single player mode. Try before you buy and decide if it's for you. For my household, it has filled the multiplayer role brilliantly.

For the price you're getting a polished, multiplayer, puzzle game with quite a few modes. Multiplayer is very fun. The only gripe I have about the game is in the Tetris & Puyo mode the Puyo gets way more points than Tetris. I'm better at Tetris but my opponent keeps winning because he's better at Puyo. The scoring is not even close, it's much easier to win if you're better at Puyo. I still, absolutely, recommend the game because it's so much fun playing with friends and family.
