Tetris

I might  be unusual for this, but there are games I play to simply unwind and vent.

Without bumming people out with too much real life stuff, the past week has been nightmarishly stressful and I’ve been using Tetris Effect on my Xbox — thanks again, Game Pass — to get through it. I’ve found that it’s surprisingly helpful when I’m panicking about things I can’t possibly change to just zone out and play Tetris for an hour or so. Or more. A lot more, really.

 

There are a lot of really engaging and fun puzzlers, ranging from quirky indie hits to lavish fusions of genres and styles, available within the puzzle game subgenre, and coming up from May 19 to May 23, we'll all have a chance to check out Steam's best offerings with the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase.

This new Tetris mode in the Overwatch Workshops works surprisingly well for a 2D game in a 3D world.

Nobody ever thought the question "Where we droppin' boys?" would have referred to a Tetris game where 99 players race to clear lines until they're the last one standing, but here we are.
