What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
A full story mode, which is cute, funny, and a great way to learn the basics of Puyo and Tetris.
There really isn't much that you can do besides those modes, which can also be played in local multiplayer.
For the price, you are getting these two superficially similar puzzle game styles in one very convenient package: the colourful 4-blob-matching chain-reacting gameplay of Puyo (complete with two separate rule styles: the simpler, more competitive Puyo 2 style and the far more elaborate, gimmicky Fever style) and the brick-stacking line-clearing gameplay of Tetris, fully embracing all of its different competitive quirks such as T-Spins and chaining line clears.
If you're an older fan of the series, you'll especially notice how the voices of the characters have gotten higher pitched with every installment,to the point where the next step down from the JP voice acting in this game is having them be voiced by middle schoolers.
I love the art style and the voice acting.
Solo/Multiplayer Arcade simply lets you start a match with any character you currently have unlocked with any set of rules you wish, either alone or with a friend and with up to 3 CPU controller characters.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
