An 86 average from 943 ratings: not perfect, but the kind of game people keep recommending anyway. Puzzle game fundamentals, from Nintendo, done right. Sometimes that's plenty. One player, no compromises. This was built for the solo run.
About this game
Tetris is a puzzle video game created by Soviet software engineer Alexey Pajitnov in the mid-1980s. Players arrange falling pieces made of four connected blocks, called tetrominoes, into complete horizontal lines within a rectangular playfield. Completed lines disappear and award points, while the speed of the falling pieces increases over time. The game ends when stacked pieces reach the top of the field. With over 520 million sales across approximately 220 versions and at least 70 platforms, it is the second-best-selling video game series.
