Tetris Ultimate returns to basics with classic modes and online competition. Austere presentation and little new compared to Axis. Acceptable but less ambitious.

"From the very first seconds"
The benchmark of slotting blocks returns in a modern build, with snappy modes and a multiplayer made for rivalry. Sliding the perfect piece and clearing several lines at once keeps its irresistible hypnotic pull. Instant to grasp, endless to master, this block game remains one of the purest and most addictive pleasures there is.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Stacking, rotating and clearing lines in a modernized presentation keeps the gripping purity of the concept, where every lost game makes you want a better run. The modes and the versus rekindle the challenge. The port suffers from a few technical hiccups, yet the brilliant purity of Tetris remains a mechanic nothing has dated and that grabs you immediately.
