Tetris 99 Reviews
A riveting take on an all-time classic, Tetris 99 is wondrous pandemonium in a (battle royale) bottle.
Tetris and battle royale turn out to be a perfect match with probably the best multiplayer version of the game ever made.
Tetris 99 delivers a fun and intense experience while taking inspiration from gaming's most popular multiplayer trend
Barebones though it may be, Tetris 99 delivers a consistently thrilling taste of competitive Tetris.
I dig what Tetris 99 is trying to do, but it’s not my first choice. Maybe on the next drop.
Big Block DLC adds two new modes to Tetris 99, which allows us to play either battle royale or marathon offline. But we still miss some more options and game modes.

An eternal classic with a twist that makes it new again. This is the way to renew a franchise, well played Tetris.

If you're after a royale-y good time you should look much farther than Tetris 99.
There is a train of thought that Tetris is, was and forever will be the finest piece of game design the world has ever seen.
Tetris is a pretty singular experience by itself and turning it into a massive multiplayer experience is such an intense joy that it’s hard to understand why no one has done something quite like this before.
Tetris 99 improves an already near-perfect game and proves that battle royale can transcend genres, but it is held back by Nintendo Switch Online.
The complete oddball of the family, Tetris 99 offers a truly unique way to play the tried-and-tested classic, even if the overall package feels a little lightweight. Playing live against 98 others is chaotic, and the action feels fast, precise, and wonderfully addictive. It's seriously difficult, too – we'd fancy our chances in Fortnite over this any day – and we're impressed with the fact that it's forced us to play the game with a completely different approach to our usual slow-and-steady ways. Signing up for Nintendo Switch Online just to play this game might be a bit of a stretch, but if you're already a member, what are you waiting for? It's free, and it might just become your next favourite time sink.
As a competitive and quite frantic game, Tetris 99 is the exact opposite of Tetris Effect. And it's a very good game too. It's not the kind of experience you play to feel more peaceful. When you engage in the only available mode, you want to be the last survivor. And if you're not, you go for another shot. And another. It can last forever because Tetris 99 is just so addictive.

Tetris 99 is a game absolutely worth enjoying, and at the low price of absolutely nothing, there is little reason not to give it a download.
Tetris 99 is highly addictive, simple, and fun. It brings that modern Tetris competition to the online stage in a big way but the lack of game modes and new features really hurt this from being more than just a good game.
Tetris 99 is a convincing mix of the classic Tetris formula and battle royale mechanics.

Tetris 99 takes the fun of Vs. Tetris to the extreme with amazing results. A must-have game!
Tetris 99 is what you get when you take the only perfect video game ever made and make it reflect the inner violence of the human soul
This is brilliant game design that deserves the acclaim that has been lavished on it up to this point.
This is what Nintendo need to keep on doing to ensure subscription to Nintendo Switch Online stays worthwhile, however, this is just Tetris with a very addictive online element, and can quickly wane once the initial honeymoon period is over. Those who really enjoy basic Tetris will be right at home with this iteration. It is fast, frantic and somewhat unpredictable gameplay is what makes it so addictive in the first place - for others, the repetition might kick in after some time.
