I mean there's no evironments to explore at all. Your success is largely influenced by luck. There is no story of any kind whatsoever (which I actually like but I'm just sayin like story buffs aren't gonna agree at all.) There are no set challenges, meaning there is no level design to speak of. There's not even any true success because no matter what the game ends with you losing even at the highest level. There's nothing to be gained from playing the game other than Tetris skill. The game could be on Atari, and it is. The original version has no soundtrack.

I mean this is coming from a guy who has spent hours watching Tetris tournaments. I respect the game, it's existed since practically the beginning of video games at all and still lives on as a massive success. I'm honestly terrible at the game and would love to be great at it, but I mean as fas as art goes, really? That's like saying Dance Dance Revoluion is the greatest game ever made, except even that has both a soundtrack and stages. Obviously we all have the right to decide our own opinions, but if we just default to that then we limit our learning severely, and I want to learn so, how is Tetris the perfect game?
