Rate the Game: Week 41

**M-A-G** · 01-12-2021, 01:01 PM

I think the biggest credit that I can give this game is that it was so accessible. Virtually everyone and their mother could easily understand and play it. Hell, my own mother, who hated video games, was and still is a fan of it to this day. It was one of the few games she could actually do without completely embarrassing herself. Thanks to the evolution of the industry, Tetris 99 was what allowed her to participate in her first ever online gaming experience. She even proudly owns a bunch of Tetris knick-knacks that I've given her for various Christmases and birthdays like salt shakers and ice cube trays. It's one of those rare games that breaks any limited definition someone may have for the term 'gamer'.
