Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The main "campaign"/Journey mode is a wonderful little package, with three different difficulties with wildly different experiences, along with the ranking system already giving a solid bit of replayability just for that.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
Whether playing with a controller or keyboard, the controls feel exceptionally responsive and intuitive, setting a standard that I genuinely wish more modern Tetris games would follow for both competitive and casual audiences.
