Tetris® Effect: Connected

Tetris Effect: Connected is broken on Deck, and the devs are ignoring the community on the problem and how it can be fixed. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1003590/discussions/0/595161397134199416/?ctp=7 The fact the game still has Verified Status would be comical, if it didn't encourage more people to spend money on a game that has been borked and subsequently abandoned by the devs. An update back in 2025 stopped the game running on higher settings (which it had been able to do without issue previously.) The community identified the cause, and even sent evidence to the dev team, only to be told they should just play on lower settings and no fix would be made available. Don't buy this game, even on a good sale. In fact, don't buy anything from an unreliable, gaslighting dev like this one. You never know when they'll completely ♥♥♥♥ up, break and abandon another game, just like this one. *NOTE: If you have bought the game, are playing on Steam Deck and NOT getting the 60FPS at HIGH settings that you SHOULD be getting, read through the thread above to see how to rollback to the version that played flawlessly before the devs broke it!* Edit: I'm going to update this review once a month, until the game gets fixed (if ever...) just so it doesn't get buried. I suggest everyone facing similar issues does the same!

Game has been broken on steamdeck since the september 2025 update with the only supposed help from the developers being "Turn the settings down!" Game worked fine before the september 2025 patch without turning settings down. ♥♥♥♥ turning settings down. Fix the game.

Classic gameplay, incredible atmosphere. Now I just want a brick breaker game with the same treatment.

Incredible interpretation of tetris but one huge issue...it stutters on steamdeck on certain stages. How incompetent of a dev do you have to be to not be able to optimise tetris.. something that worked on my original game boy.

I own this game for Xbox, oculus and now steam deck. Played a couple of hours and abandoned it for several months. Now coming back a few updates later I‘m shocked it’s barely playable on my OLED steam deck anymore. Stutters and slow downs, even on low settings. What the hell has happened? Really sad about this devolution. So long story short: one of the best Tetris games ever created. But if you wanna pick it up for your steam deck, avoid it for the moment till the Devs have finally come up with a proper update. And yes, they seem to be aware of these issues but keep ignoring it. Fingers crossed they will change their mind soon. Therefore now recommendation as SD user.

I'm reviewing this from the perspective of a VR only player. I've never played the game outside of VR. I love Tetris. I love VR. Yet for some reason I thought the idea of Tetris in VR sounded... unnecessary. I was very wrong. The journey mode is incredibly beautiful and something that is best experienced in VR. The visuals and music are moving and add way more to the immersion than I would have thought possible. Outside of journey, the multiplayer is great and I've never had trouble connecting with other players. As a Tetris lover I have no doubt that multiplayer is fun on screen mode as well, but VR ruined me and now I can't see playing Tetris any other way. If you love Tetris and you love VR, don't hesitate. On paper this game should have no business being in my top 5 VR games of all time along with heavy hitters like The Forest and Valheim, yet its earned a solid spot at the top and I don't think its ever going to be knocked down.

The visual and the music is nice but it can get distracting which can throw you off. Sometimes at the higher speeds it's like you have no control over the tetrominoes at all. Not sure if that is a glitch, user error, or part of the game but it got old real fast. If you want to play against other people, the matching system kind of sucks. It will put you up against people in higher tiers. Overall it's an okay. Not my favorite Tetris game. Feels like it might be better on a VR system (I play it on the PC).

在玩了《Tetris® Forever》那个周年超级炒冷饭之后，我只觉得这个《Tetris® Effect: Connected》有点一般。 主要是我和这个游戏的特效以及音乐对不上电波。 但是如果你喜欢俄罗斯方块并且喜欢和别人对战，那这个游戏是非常值得买来游玩的。
