Puyo Puyo Tetris, even though it has an unnecesary and trivial campaign mode, makes an incredible fusion of both franchises, converging in a great acquisition for those who like strategic gameplay in an old-school but contemporary fashion. |

Puyo Puyo Tetris is, without a doubt, one of the best puzzle games of recent years. Combining two classic franchises bringing with them each of its elements offers us hours and hours of endless fun in any of its modes. Both puzzles are extremely addictive and if they do not want to play with other people the CPU will offer them a remarkable challenge. |

The wait was worth it for this puzzle mashup, as Puyo Puyo Tetris embodies everything great about its namesakes, and compliments the host hardware perfectly. Concerns arise about the lack of Japanese voice work as an option, but as an overall package of content and pure replayability there are few better crossovers than this one. |

Puyo Puyo Tetris is one of the best puzzle games I’ve ever played, not just because it’s based on two mechanically sound, battle-tested puzzle philosophies, but because it goes all out and doesn’t leave any room for an “extended edition.” Grab it, take it on the go, and preach the gospel of Puyo Puyo. |

For all its wealth of content, Puyo Puyo Tetris does rely on developing and then maintaining a strong online community for truly long-term value. As a local multiplayer game, you’ll be glad to have it around for the parties, and it’ll help plane trips and other long travels fly by in a snap. Get hooked into the game’s steep learning curve online, however, and you’ll have a game that you’ll be playing for months, if not years, and not once, for even the briefest second, will the game lose its charm. |

While I still think Tetris is the better game in this match-up, and that it has a slight in-game advantage due to its faster speed, and that the voice acting can get grating after awhile, I loved my time with Puyo Puyo Tetris. It familiarized me with a puzzle game franchise and group of characters that I had never heard up before while also delivering a solid console Tetris experience, which makes it steeper price acceptable. I hope SEGA continues to bring over more Puyo Puyo games to the west, as it has the possibility of catching on just like Tetris did years ago on the Game Boy. |

Puyo Puyo Tetris seemed like an unexpected crossover when it first hit Japan in 2014, and it still does now that it’s come to the West. And yet, the idea has come together wonderfully, providing a release that has a lot to offer for fans of either game or simply the puzzle genre in general. |

Still, cost and value are always considerations, and as we saw with Super Bomberman R, the retail variant of the Switch edition is rather overpriced at $39.99. Asking price drops to $29.99 on the eShop and with both versions on PS4, so if you don’t care about jewel cases or own both systems, then it’s clear what to do. That said, after testing the Switch version I do recommend handheld mode wholeheartedly, as I’ve only ever enjoyed puzzling on the go and it bolsters pickup-and-play exactly as needed. Regardless, this is a game that delivers exactly what’s described on the tin, and if you enjoy those things, you’ll surely enjoy Puyo Puyo Tetris. |

Puyo Puyo Tetris is a surprisingly convincing mix of two of gaming’s oldest Puzzle Game franchises. The fact that the game lets players chose between Tetris, Puyo Puyo or a (well done) mix of the two makes for a fun experience. It must also be said that Puyo Puyo Tetris is best enjoyed on the Switch. The console’s local multiplayer capabilities are clearly one of the game’s strong suits. |

The beautifully presented Puyo Puyo Tetris has a ton of content, a really fun multiplayer with a lot of variations, and is very easy to pick up and play with just about anyone despite the slight balance issues. The Nintendo Switch is a great platform for it too, with its portability and non-threatening Joy-Con controllers. This is the type of game that offers an adequate challenge for even the most hardcore puzzle players with its Challenge modes, but is inviting for even the smallest of children and gaming newbies. |

What can I say? I really LOVED Puyo Puyo Tetris and given the limited amount of titles on the Nintendo Switch, especially for multiplayer chaos, this game delivers that fun title that can be played in short or long bursts. It’s also a title where you can return many times and long after the blockbuster titles like Zelda Breath of the Wind or Splatoon 2 are forgotten, you’ll definitely be coming back to this game as each time you play is different but where it works is with other people! |

Puyo Puyo Tertis is a good crossover between two major IPs in puzzle games. Offering the classic of both of them, the game gives the opportunity of a genuine melting between the universes as well. Still, the slight advantage given to the Puyo Puyo combos provides a feeling of inequality between players. However, the provided game modes are fun and addictive. You can expect playing for long hours. Although a bit expensive on Nintendo Switch, the fans of puzzle games will be in heaven. Puyo Puyo Tetris is a must in its genre. |

While thirty dollars may seem steep for what is on its surface a simple puzzle crossover game, it is most definitely worth your time. I only hope that Sega continues to support Puyo Puyo in the future. |

Puyo Puyo Tetris delivers a wonderfully chaotic experience that combines the fast paced Tetris gameplay and the more strategic Puyo Puyo formula that has been a staple of the franchise since its 1991 debut. As someone who has been a fan of Tetris since I was a kid with a Game Boy, the thought of playing a new iteration of the popular franchise on Nintendo’s Switch made me anxious. What makes Sega’s reimagining so memorable is the inclusion of the Puyo Puyo gameplay. |

Puyo Puyo Tetris is almost like three games in one. You get two classic puzzle games as well as a fascinating amalgamation of the two. There’s no shortage of modes, and the offerings make for a game well suited to both newcomers and old pros.Support for all of the Switch’s various control options, with the exception of the console’s touch screen, good online play as well as up to four player local multiplayer make Puyo Puyo Tetris a no-brainer for Switch-owning puzzle fans out there. Even if you aren’t exactly crazy about puzzlers, the pick-up-and-play nature of this title makes it worth a look if you’re taking your Switch on the go. |

I can pick it up invaluable minutes of spare time, play in friendly bouts with others, or be seriously engaged and strategic – either on a large screen or on a tablet.

It’s not surprising that combining two of the best puzzles games would result in a fantastic game, but it’s astounding how well the two games that make up Puyo Puyo Tetris gel together. The game’s marquee Fusion mode manages to make two very familiar series feel fresh, and it’s some of the most fun I’ve had in the genre. On top of that, Sega has packed in over a dozen modes, many of which allow players to play straight Tetris or Puyo Puyo. It’s truly the best of both worlds, and it ends up creating an essential puzzle game. |
