not as phenomenal as i thought it would be.* was hoping for a full on campaign/story mode of some sorts that slowly progresses through each different retro game theme and incorporates unique elements based on said games -- not a bunch of small game modes that are each themed after a retro title (mostly aesthetically). i mean, the main endless mode goes through different retro themes depending on how many lines you've cleared. but it's just music and visual, and there's a point at which the difficulty stops raising meaningfully. since the speed is imperceptible, the game turns into "slide the tetromino in a decent position while it's already at the landing spot" with a lot of time to maneuver -- they could've at least lowered the maneuvering time progressively. but i get that this is also how modern tetris works(? been playing more nes tetris lately)
anyway, im rambling. im glad i have this game finally just for the sake of it (tetris is still tetris), and some of the game modes are interesting enough for me to maybe revisit. -- i consider level 5 CPU on "Push" actually impossible though
* and tbf, i knew literally nothing about this game except the box art and a few screenshots, up until now. so literally everything i've said here is based on 15 years of mindlessly imagining how this is probably the best tetris ever LOL
