  Bought the 3DS version, but I didn't like playing with a DPad. Had a PS4 arcadestick lying around, so I bought the PS4 version, but I didn't like playing with bugs and a developer that is not willing to patch these. Bought the Steam version, but I don't like it, because: - unskipable logos/intros - laggy logos/intros - laggy menu - half-ass support for my arcadesticks (which work fine with everything else), left/right is up/down, buttons don't work * - no option to set custom controls * - adware popping up random when exiting the game And probably more, but I don't wanna spend more time with this than I already did. At least not until the last 3 points have been fixed. If you wanna play a good version of Tetris, try Tetris DS or stick with the 3DS version of T.U. * semi-fixable with Joy2Key or XPadder, but will add inputlag, rendering the game even more unplayable

  [b]Final final edit: don't waste time reading my review of Tetris Ultimate. If you're interested in Tetris on Steam, search for 'Puyo Puyo Tetris' instead. No problem, you're welcome.[/b] [i]188 of 220 people found this review helpful prior to final edit of September 3rd 2017[/i] [strike]The game does NOT allow you to remap keys in the options menu. I do not recommend this game.[/strike] (edit) A patch has been released that tackles this problem [strike] The game also suffers from crashes..[/strike] (edit) The game still suffered from crashes, tested on two Win 10 systems. But I've actually been able to play without crashes on both systems after - Running steam and Uplay as administrator and verifying the integrity of the game cache - On one system, I also had to run the game on Win 7 compatibility mode (I've no idea why this worked) [b]This doesn't mean that you'll be able to run it without crashes[/b] (edit) First impression: There are too many small annoyances (menu, audio and visual) that has nothing to do with gameplay/game modes itself. Navigating through menus feels unintuitive. The method of remapping key bindings looks amateurish. There are some unnecessary, annoying visual effects during gameplay that can't be completely turned off. So overall, it just leaves a bad taste. This game has several game modes in addition to the standard marathon, sprint and battle, but there is nothing special, exciting or worth mentioning about them. Online multiplayer is practically dead, and there doesn't seem to be a way to invite someone for a 1v1 match. This game was released 1,5 years on pc after its first public announcement. However it feels (or is?) rushed, lacks proper support from Ubisoft, seems to have been a low priority money grab project, and it is clearly a lazy, unoptimized port from console to pc. [b]If you consider it nothing more, nothing less than a simple single player tetris game, then you could enjoy it casually on a rainy day. However, I would definitely [b]not[/b] recommend this pc version of Tetris to anyone.[/b] PS The best thing about Tetris Ultimate is its commercial.

  Controller support for the Xbox One controller with the recently released wireless adapter for Win 10 is completely broken, it simulates that you're holding left on the stick permanently, making the game unplayable if you plan on using a controller.

  Okay finally arrived better late then never. I have played only about an hour and dabbled in most of the game types (Except the ones that crashed) and here's what I think. Lets start positive because there are some good things. It looks great. I like the aesthetics it is probably one of the better looking versions of Tetris there is. People who prefer the really really minimalist designs in some of the unofficial variants like Lockjaw or Nullpolimo might not like it but I do, especially when you compare it to last gen which i really did not like. There are also a good number of game modes so every kind of player will find something they are after, whether its Marathon, Sprint or Battle. Okay thats all I got for god things so lets move on. My criticisms are divided in 2 minds, one as an aspiring game designer and one as a Tetris fanatic. I really dislike the approach to TU's Menu design. It looks good, and animates well. But its not intuitive and clutters the screen with a lot of information most of which is hard to direct around at first. Especially since there is no real tutorial. Or I should say there is one but its placed in a spot that no first time player is gonna find. And when you do get to it you are faced with an encyclopedia of text. If you were trying to follow the instructions you would have to constantly flop back to that menu. I could understand if the dev team wanted to not have the players go through menu after menu but I would of rather something simpler. A starting menu that says "Online, Solo, Settings, Profile" which then opens up into something else. instead of an overwhelming amount of text as soon as you hit start. On the subject of clicking things. I'm not sure why they decided to make somethings clickable and somethings not. Everything in the footer requires key presses and somethings require clicks. You have to be a little more consistent than that. Its like trying to play an FPS in an options menu. Also who thought it was a good idea to make the two keys to press "O" for confirm and "Backspace" for exit. Those keys are in the middle of nowhere and doesn't relate to any of the keys during play. And now we come to some issues with the gameplay. Something happens the faster you want to play and it comes from your expectation compared to what happens. 2 things that are really critical is line clear speed and when you are allowed to rotate the incoming piece. The longer that delay is between what you want to do next and when the game allows you to do it Is very important especially the faster you want to play. Very important for sprint players. I am not that quick of a player, relatively speaking compared to the really really hardcore players, but even I am getting irritated with the delay. When you know what to place next, and when you know you hit the button to rotate, but the game lets you down by not keeping up with you. Its very frustrating aspect. The decision to allow sensitivity was good. Maybe not to the degree I'd like, something finer than a 1-10 scale would of been nice, but a lot of variants don't have it so fine. The decision to Lock the Controls and the Piece orientation on the other hand is baffling to me. I had no idea they did this because I thought it was a given before it came out. I play with the numpad because it means I can rotate both ways with just my right hand. Thats how I play thats whats comftable for me. I also don't like using the space bar for drop, I prefer a smaller key and one next to my hold like "z" because i prefer using my index finger instead of my thumb. these specific issues for everyone to play a certain way makes me think Tetris Ultimate had a very clear goal in mind and I'm not one that likes it. If you are a casual player who doesn't play tetris often, maybe occasionally a long time ago. The game is fine. There are bugs here and there (3 of the game modes crashed on startup for me in the first 20mins) but its manageable, and if you are able to navigate the god awful tetris party up system, its okay. The problem is I don't think its worth it to get it on PC. because if you are playing causally, 4 controllers will work, 4 keyboards won't. More pressing is I don't think its worth your $15USD. You can get the same things from other outlets that let you satisfy that craving and then move on... and get back to Fallout 4 or something. If you hadn't already bought the game on your XBone or PS4, theres no reason to get this version. If you are like me and you are a Hardcore player. This game is missing far to many options and crashes to many times to be taken seriously for your time. If you are a marathon player you would rather play TGM, if you are a multiplayer player you would rather play Top or Cultris. If you are a sprint player you would rather play Nullpol or Lockjaw. Most of them cater what you are after, better. and most of them are Free to play as well. The only reason you would play Tetris Ultimate is if you hadn't tried any others.

  This is such a shame.... Such a shame that in this day and age, we can't get a working, updated version of Tetris. After the fiasco of the next gen console releases and total lack of support for fixing them for just under a year now, I don't know why I'm surprised. No, I cannot recommend this to anyone as it stands now. The game keep crashing, you can't remap your controls, very clunky user interface. I'd like to give an opionion about actual gameplay, but I can't due to the constant crashes. From what I can tell, seems to be a direct port of the console versions, slow play and slow line clear delay. I'm going to give it some time to see if Ubi does anything about these issues, but I'm holding no hope going by their previous track record for the console games. Very happy that I can get a refund through Steam for this as it's the ONLY reason I decided to purchase and try it. Was hoping to finally get a decent game with decent multiplayer, but I guess I'll have to just keep on waiting.

  I have been waiting for this game for almost a year, and wouldn't you know it, the next time I look for its release date it's yesterday! I was so excited! And then I saw the reviews. I figured I'd waited this long so I should still buy it and give it a shot. If it's bad I'll just refund it, right? I will be submitting my refund request as soon as I finish this review. First thing I noticed is that I had to initiate uPlay which always reminds me of those people in high school who try to include themselves in everything you and your friends do. And since I never use uPlay, it had to update first, I had to enter the product key for the game, and then wait for it to decide to let me play. The second thing I noticed is that my controller didn’t work. At all. I didn’t try very hard to fix it (because I’d already lost hope), but nothing I did made it so I could use my controller in any part of the game. The menu didn’t look bad, but it was a little over the top for a tetris game. It seemed like it was designed for a touch screen. Also the key bindings in the menu were strange. Who uses the letter “O” to accept changed settings? The gameplay didn’t seem very different from the mobile app I use, though I didn’t play it for long. Now the music on the other hand was terrible. I thought I was playing tetris, not haunting a victorian era mansion! The only time that kind of music would be appropriate for tetris is if you were playing in a funeral home. Ubisoft, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven’t been flipping the pages on your calendar, but it’s 2015. How is it that you couldn’t make a decent tetris game? All I want is to move around different shaped blocks with catchy music playing in the background. Because of you, Ubisoft, I’m just going to download a ROM of tetris from the days when game developers didn’t have their heads so far up their butts they could make a simple game about falling blocks that didn’t sound like it needed some freaking zoloft.

  How? How on Earth did they manage to mess [i]Tetris[/i] up? This is such a wasted opportunity. Don't be stubborn like me and ignore the negative reviews on the store page, trust me, they're all correct. I can't review the gameplay as I can't even manage to get games to run properly, almost every single time I try to run a mode, the game crashes, thus making this [i]literally unplayable[/i]. Out of the numerous attempts of getting a game to actually launch, only one worked successfully, but guess what? Somehow, it manages to suffer from incredidbly poor frame rate and performance issues even on the lowest graphical settings... Yes... [b]TETRIS[/b] suffers from performance issues. Thank all that is good and holy that Steam introduced a refund system, it's existence can be merrited simply by pointing towards abysmal releases like this one. Don't buy it, not until they at least throw out some heavily required patches, but over a year since the initial release and there has been nothing yet so don't hold your breath. And on one final note: F*ck UPlay.
