  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.

  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.

  !!! ATTENTION EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO BUY THIS GAME TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS !!! There is only local multiplayer in this game to play with your friends (on the same device). There is no way to properly play with your online friends: only with strangers, of which there seems to be none around. I'm surprised that negative reviews of this game don't highlight this fact in capital letters. I think the description is misleading and does not make it clear. I'm requesting a refund. http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/tetris-ultimate/255256-online-play.html http://forums.ubi.com/archive/index.php/t-985959.html

  As a person who bought Puyo Puyo Tetris before buying this, I gotta let you know that you have no reason to purchase Tetris Ultimate. The multiplayer scene is 100% dead, due to the aforementioned PPT, the controls manage to feel awkward and unresponsive, the game crashes like crazy, and it doesn't even have button prompts for controllers, and you can't re-map controller controls either. That last part is especially funny, because the buttons for rotation are actually opposite of their usual configuration If you want to try and get any of the achievements in this game, you're SOL. Getting 100,000 line clears in online matches is legitimately impossible at this point, as I can't find a single game, even after a half hour of waiting. No reason to purchase this mess. Go buy Puyo Puyo Tetris instead. I should note; the 3DS version of this game is completely different, and actually kinda good. That might be worth your time!

  If you are one of the guys who thinks that the reviews are wrong and want to give this game a chance, DON'T! You need to use Uplay, it runs poorly, it crashes too often and you have to wait like 15 seconds through logos on every startup
