"I'm a bit of a Tetris fiend. If there's any game with falling and spinning geometric pieces, be they tetrominoes or pills or puyos, I am here for it. My personal favorite iteration of the formula is Tetris Effect, because good golly is that ever a beautiful game. Normally if I saw reviews bestowing adjectives like "ecstatic," "euphoric" and "breath-taking" on a video game, I'd roll my eyes and snark, but Tetris Effect merits all the grandiloquent accolades."

It's available for PlayStation 5, including on PlayStation VR2, and on Steam, with support for both VR and Steam Deck. I'm a bit of a Tetris fiend.

Lumines Arise launches on PlayStation 5 (including PlayStation VR2) and on Steam with VR and Steam Deck support. The game continues the Lumines puzzle franchise and prioritizes rhythmic music, striking visuals, and tactile block-based gameplay to create synesthetic flow states. The design targets players who enjoy falling-and-spinning geometric puzzles and seeks to evoke ecstatic, euphoric responses through audiovisual cohesion. Comparisons to Tetris Effect highlight a similarly mesmerizing treatment and high aesthetic ambition. Demo play suggests that fans of Tetris Effect will particularly enjoy Lumines Arise. The game encourages immersive sessions with loud audio and dim lighting to maximize impact.
