Puyo Puyo Tetris 2

8/10

The first Puyo Puyo Tetris was originally released for pretty much every single gaming console that existed back in 2014, but initially only in Japan. It took Sega a further three years to localize those titles and release them in the West, with an additional port for the Nintendo Switch. Taking The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild out of the equation, that was basically the single best title released for the system during its first couple of months or so. For as much as I loved that game ...

Never in a million years did I think Tetris needed a story mode. But somehow, this mash-up with Puyo Puyo has successfully created not one, but two such experiences. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is out now on PlayStation 5 (and PS4), providing match game addicts like myself single player fun and intense multiplayer throwdowns.

If you think about it, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is kind of an analogy about the duality of the cosmic state of being. Tetrominos are rigid, uniform, sterile,

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is an ambitious sequel that follows the previously successful entry of the same title. Whether you’re a beginner to Puyo Puyo or a celebrated Tetris champion, there is something for everyone of all skill levels to enjoy. From a brand-new JRPG-like adventure to even a new way to play our favourite chaotic combination, this game offers a lot more ways to test your Puyo Puyo and Tetris skills, whether you plan to play alone or with someone else.

Have you ever played a game that you find is far better than it has any right to be? Maybe it’s the wacky crossover of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Or even possibly it’s the bizarre concrete jungle to explore in Yakuza. Regardless, it’s rare that you find a game that absolutely should not click for you but does. Maybe, if you’re like me, it’s none other than SEGA made puzzle game Puyo Puyo Tetris 2.

Everything that makes Puyo Puyo Tetris great is here, but the additions are incredibly underwhelming. The story is just as simplistic as the first one, and the new “map” is a glorified way to show off a list of challenges hidden behind light character banter. If you’re new to the series, this would be a good starting point, but anyone content with the first Puyo Puyo Tetris doesn’t necessarily need to upgrade.

Puyo Puyo Tetris has been kicking around for a while and it features a brilliant blend of 2 puzzle greats. Now, there's finally a sequel!

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is a worthy successor to the original and something that both veterans and newcomers alike are sure to find entertainment with, even if it’s not as fresh as before.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 is a charming puzzle mix that doesn't improve much on the original.

As a big fan of the original and of Tetris in general, it really pains me to give Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 this score. I really want it to be higher, but the persistence of the sensitivity problem had me throwing down my controller and cursing in rage too much to not be a factor. If you aren’t a serious Tetris or Puyo Puyo veteran, this probably won’t matter to you and you absolutely can have a blast. But if you are, there’s a good chance you’ll experience some frustration alongside the fun...

Between Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, Tetris 99, and Tetris Effect Connected, one thing is clear; we are in a golden age for Tetris fans. Each major offering gives players something different. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 gives players an unparalleled slate of local multiplayer content that elevates both Puyo Puyo and Tetris from just addictive, hypnotic puzzle games to fun, bombastic, colorful party games.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is one of those genius ideas that shouldn’t work… and yet somehow does. I don’t think, prior to the first Puyo Puyo Tetris landing, that anyone thought that bringing together such disparate puzzle games as Puyo Puyo and Tetris was going to result in anything but an unsalvagable mess. Fast forward a few years and it has been one of the most popular things that SEGA has done in years.
