Tetris® Effect: Connected

Tetris® Effect: Connected reworks the familiar task of arranging falling Tetriminos to clear lines. In Journey mode, you progress through themed stages whose music, backgrounds, sounds, and effects change in response to play. The game can be played in 2D or VR. Beyond Journey, a range of single-player modes offers different Tetris challenges and rules. The Zone mechanic pauses time and falling pieces, giving you a chance to recover or clear extra lines for bonus rewards. Across more than 30 stages and 10 modes, you can take on challenges and work to improve your scores. Multiplayer includes Connected, where three players join their boards to take on AI-controlled bosses, and Zone Battle, a one-on-one match with the time-stopping mechanic. Score Attack modes pit players against each other to compare scores. Online and local multiplayer are available, with cross-platform Friend Matches and room space for spectators.

Stack falling blocks to music across evolving stages, use the time-stopping Zone, and team up or compete in Tetris modes.
