Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-12-31-eurogamers-game-of-the-year-2018-is-tetris-effect We could have leant into this with our choice of game of the year and picked a game that captured the zeitgeist and pointed the way to the future. (We very nearly did: see 'The other game of the year', below.) We could have picked one of those surviving bastions of Big Gaming, a God of War or a Red Dead, because the scale of craftsmanship they display is often extraordinary to behold, but our hearts wouldn't have been in it. These games stirred admiration in us, but not passion. Instead, our choice for game of the year is a game to cut through all this noise and make a nonsense of all this talk. It's a game of utter purity, a contemporary take on a timeless classic, and a genuinely inspiring and uplifting experience. It doesn't care about the zeitgeist, because it is, in itself, the history and the future of video games rolled into one. It's Tetris Effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) That's a pretty shallow game to vote GOTY, I mean to each their own but my friend and I exhausted that games unique content in less than a few hours; then after that it was just Tetris with a bunch of effects, tiles, music and themes we had already been through. Not to mention the game has NO multiplayer which was a baffling retard level decision out the gate, no online play, no local play, nothing. Kind of a dumb choice IMO.

Ike★ 2,906 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Cool. It's a great game and the best version of the best puzzle game ever made. It's probably going to become one of my most played games this gen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow Tetris Effect only lasted him a few hours because of lack of 'unique content'. Grinding different color themes accessories for his ship is somehow compelling enough for hundreds of hours of gameplay tho. DinoFlop. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
