Unsurprisingly, it’s stellar<\/h2>

Tetris Effect <\/em>seems poised to cement itself as the go-to modern Tetris<\/em>, and this weekend is your best bet to check it out before release. Enhance Games has put out a limited-time demo that’s now live on PlayStation Network<\/a>. It’s just as mesmerizing as I hoped it would be knowing that Rez <\/em>creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi was on board. After finishing Marathon Mode, I felt like I had woken up from a coma.<\/p>

This trial version is only playable until November 5, 2018, so even though it’s a busy weekend with gargantuan games like Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> vying for your time, try not to sleep on Tetris Effect<\/em>. You’ll have access to a few stages and modes, and yes, there’s PlayStation VR support.<\/p>

<\/iframe><\/p>

The classic puzzle mechanics are fine-tuned, the audio and visuals draw you into the zone, and there’s also long-term progression and community hooks to keep the average player invested week to week beyond chasing high scores. We’ve seen so many half-baked Tetris <\/em>games over the decades that put in the bare-minimum effort. By comparison, Tetris Effect <\/em>feels like a loving tribute to an all-time great.<\/p>

I’m confident the game will be a hit with critics, but I hope it also resonates with the mainstream.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":239752,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1,252,101,313],"tags":[399,375,410,787,2083,418],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":10,"display_name":"Jordan
