Chris Schilling's Tetris Effect Review
Chris Schilling’s Tetris Effect Review
Tetris Effect is out now, here’s part of Chris Schilling’s review:

Push poll

Replace the bots with human players and the hybrid of Gears of War's third-person shooting and Monster Hunter's co-operative beast-slaying suddenly makes a good deal more sense. However, the foibles from the solo game remain: controls feel counter-intuitive, and the grappling hook and weapon-change buttons sporadically refuse to function.
