That being said, this trailer stands out from the usually launch day video fare by highlighting just mesmerizingTetris Effectcan get when it’s firing on all cylinders.
Specifically, this trailer is able to so by showing howTetris Effect’smusic is acutely tied to gameplay no matter what stage one is playing in. The trailer also does a good job at highlight several of the game’s level aesthetics within Journey Mode and some of the more gimmicky challengesTetris Effectwill throw at experienced players in the game’s later stages.
Personally, this trailer only get me more hyped to tryTetris Effectout for myself. I’m anavid fanof traditionalTetris, so I was surprised a theannouncement ofTetris Effectas it is much different than what I had come to expect from the series. Still, I was confident in the game as Enhance had proven themselves with a another music-based puzzle game,Lumines Remastered, earlier this year. After trying out thedemo last weekend, I was enthralled by what I played, so I’ll definitely be picking upTetris Effectat some point in the future.
Outside of Journey Mode and not mentioned in the trailer are Effect Mode, where players can try different kinds of level sets depending on their mood, and Weekend Rituals, which are community based events set to happen every weekend where players must work together to meet a community point goal and unlock a special in-game avatar. Tetris Effect sees to be a very fleshed out package for a puzzle game, which makes sense as it costs $39.99.
