Puyo Puyo Tetris (PS4)

Puyo Puyo Tetris is a puzzle game from SEGA that brings two well-known franchises together, and this PS4 disc puts both in a single competitive package. Tetris is one of the largest-selling and best-recognised brands in gaming history, and Puyo Puyo is SEGA's own puzzle series, so the pairing is a natural one.

Two puzzle games, one board

The idea is a fast-paced party game where Puyos and Tetriminos share the stage. You can play a traditional round of either, or go for the mash-up, which makes each match a little unpredictable.

Modes range from single-player Adventure and Challenge to frantic competition in up-to-four-player Arcade modes, giving you plenty of variety whether you play alone or with company.

Gameplay and features

• A mash-up of Puyo Puyo and Tetris in one competitive game
• Single-player Adventure and Challenge modes

Why play it on PS4

The disc supports 4 players on one console, and optional online play for up to 4 players is available with PlayStation Plus. The age rating is PEGI 3, so it is open to the whole family.

The listing shows English as the supported language, so menus and text are in English only.

It is easy to pick up and hard to put down in a group. Puzzle fans can sharpen their skills in Challenge mode, while the party side comes alive when friends join in, and the short matches suit quick sessions.

Its Arcade and Casual labels fit the way it plays: matches are quick to understand, so a new player can sit down with friends and be competing within minutes, while the Challenge mode gives puzzle fans a place to test their skills alone.

Game details

Puzzle fans can add it to their PlayStation 4 games. Extra pads from the PlayStation controllers collection make four-player matches possible, and the PlayStation consoles range covers the console.
