More On: Tetris Effect

Tetris Effect turns one this week. To celebrate, the soundtrack is being made available for digital download, it is also being released in physical form on Vinyl records, a re-release of physical copies of the game are being made available, and a new Dynamic Theme for the PS4 is coming out. 

Pre-orders for the Soundtrack on Vinyl start November 22nd. There is a full, 5 disc version for $100 that features every one of the 44 tracks from the game as well as a 2 disc version for $35 that has just the top 17 tracks. The records are expected to ship in Q1 2020 and the digital versions of the songs for download will also be made available when those ship. The re-print of the physical versions of the game will also be made available on the 22nd. The Tetris Effect Metamorphosis Dynamic Theme is available now via the PS Store. 

Tetris Effect is just an incredible game. It combines the classic fun of Tetris with an amazing audio and visual journey. The soundtrack is beautiful and it's a game that not only provides a great bit of fun but stirs real emotion from the immersion while doing so. I can't recommend it highly enough. It was my pick for surprise game from 2018 and was probably only behind God of War as the best game I played last year. I'm still popping in now a year later and will be for a long time. It's such an easy game to pick up for a game or two, or settle in for a long session. On that note I do recommend going digital because the one mistake I made with the physical copy is having to swap the disc in all the time. I'm going to wear the thing out.
