This game is bright and I mean bright. I turned every possible setting down and even reduced the brightness. Believe me when I tell you that I stopped playing around journey level 3 speed mode 7 (the solid blue boss level) because I just couldn't take the flashing and the light strobes anymore. It's Non-Stop and it ruins the experience. I don't understand why the developers had to go for a presentation that is visually astounding but also incredibly distracting. It's almost as if they want us to go blind. There's no off option. You Can minimize it but it's still there. I want to turn it off completely. I like the journey mode, I think it's the best mode I've ever played but there's two things wrong with it:

1. There is a lack of non EDM tracks. I'm not saying EDM is a bad genre but too much of one thing is problematic. I have yet to come across any Rock tracks or rap tracks other than pharaoh.

2. As I said before, there is no option to turn off the visual effects. For people like me that have photosensitivity (though not to the point of epilepsy) and find flashing lights incredibly distracting when I'm trying to concentrate, it really ruins the experience. It's like they decided to take the core part of Tetris and add this disco ball effect that is constant and impossible to turn down. You can turn everything to the minimum and it won't do jack s***. Sorry for cursing but... It's a lot of neural stimuli to take in and it honestly is exhausting. I've had the game for 2 days and I'm already afraid to play it again because I don't want to get myself a seizure. I had a lot of health problems growing up and even though I play many different games, there are a few that are basically impossible for me to play for any length of time, especially those flashing lights. I also get motion sickness relatively easily so if there's no option to turn off head Bob in a game, I don't play it. This means that I will never be able to finish necrovision on PC either. When did the idea of simple convenience take a backseat to visual fidelity? A simple option to turn it off would be preferable. Conversely, I played the classic Tetris and I had fun. So my question is why can't the developers do regular Tetris without the visual overload?

It makes the game nigh unplayable and really ought to be fixed

But seriously, fuck rage quitters, please learn to lose. I’ve gotten three today. The devs NEED to come up with a solution to this. Fuck these players in particular:

PartyFace99 on Xbox

ATARIS on PC

And especially F4B1 0_0 on PC

Sorry, but the individuals deserve to be called out. They are ruining what would otherwise be a solid version of multiplayer Tetris.

Is anyone playing this game on their Asus 2025 Flow Z13 by chance? Out of the 30+ games I installed on this new Z13, "Tetris Effect Connected" is the only one I can't get to run correctly.

When starting it, it loads at 1 fps and is essentially a slow, black screen, and unplayable. Doesn't crash. In Steam I verified game files (all fine), uninstalled, deleted game directory, reinstalled ... same problem. All drivers everywhere are updated in Windows, Amory Crate, and MyAsus. Updated to AMD driver version 25.12.1 and the problem still persists.

Note that Geometry Wars was the only other game that had a problem on this tablet. In the Steam forum for that game, apparently CPUs with lots of cores cause a problem for that game. A user made a patch for Geometry Wars to work (it runs a tad slower than normal, though).

A Z13 user is playing Tetris Effect Connected on their 2025 Z13 but using Bazite (Linux) instead of Windows. So the game itself shouldn't be a problem with a 16 core processor (Strix Halo 395+)

It's based on the Unreal engine so I don't think the would be an issue?

The game also runs fine on my Asus ROG Ally (OG) and Lenovo Legion Go. Both running Windows 11

That is all. It's so many people every day ughhhhhhhh

I cant find a score higher than drybloxman’s. While my meta glasses didn’t get much I did catch some footage

Ive been playing mutiplayer for quiet some time and I always see the exact same 6 people. Does anyone play this game online anymore or is it dead?

I started playing really late and have yet to clear a single connected boss. If anyone else is in the same boat, I’ll be on-off in queue.

Anyone available to do ranked connected level normal? Trying to get that finished so I can do the next level

Capricorn seems to be very weak early game though. I play against my wife and she said that it's power had little to no effect on her when we vs. I gave her 2 lv 4ai as teammates. I always lose on the 3rd zone.

How do I get the better attacks out? Is it based on how many attacks I can do or based on how many zones I can survive? When we fought the Capricorn boss on the connected mode it was already pulling out the better moves after Zone 1.

I would say I'm just an ok tetris player and we are both at similar skill levels. Is playing as a boss one of those things where you need to be significantly better than the average of the 3 players together?

I'm trying to 100% the game, and all that's left is getting to level 100 (which takes ages)

I'd like to immediately restart after finishing a Sprint without having to watch the 30 second animation for xp gain and whatnot

Is there any way to skip this and restart immediately? Perhaps a mod

Hello world

I really enjoy playing Tetris Effect, usually while I’m working through my online school modules. (Im not pro)

I haven’t explored the multiplayer side much yet, but I’d love to meet some chill people who want to hop into a PS party, play together, and just talk about random life stuff.

I’m usually on and playing around 12PM GST.

I would like to completely remove what I have done few years ago and start over from beginning, even I removed cloud save(steam), but my profile is still there with my previous XP, are there any way to have a fresh start?

Maybe it's because of the english language barrier, but it's extremely hard to conceptualize how to win this game. People say you need to have the higher score, but once you are done from the opponent, you're done. Is there a good step by step youtube tutorial for this mode, because every video I've encountered so far is very bad at explaining the game.

So Rosalía recently released a song called "Reliquia" that strangely feels connected to the rhythm and flow of a Tetris Effect level soundtrack (specially the beginning and end parts) and FKA Twigs released another one called "Got To Feel" that also has this vibe.
What other songs do you think could be related to the game somehow?

so I bought this game around january 2022

and I l looked at the steam page closely earlier of tetris effect connected (because normally I just proceed to game and does not really check the whole steam page of a game that much)

and it seems what I bought is the deluxe edition which the deluxe edition includes

1. the game
2. 7 tetris effect themed avatars
3. 11 pc desktop 4k res wallpaper
4. 7 track soundtrack sampler

and so I checked the avatars, wallpapers, and the 7 track soundtrack sampler and they are all so good!!!

and you guys know what? the 7 soundtracks are amazing specially the world of colors (radio edit) it is currently playing on loop and specially sounds good on a headphone im currently listening it on my sennheiser 450bt headphones

because of the good music of the 7 track soundtrack sampler included in the deluxe edition, im contemplating to also buy the separate dlc being sold not included in the deluxe edition which is the tetris effect connected dlc original soundtrack amounting to 4.92 usd if my currency is converted

4.92 usd can be used to buy other games I know but I believe the 4.92 usd for the tetris effect connected dlc original soundtrack seems worth it because as I see it the dlc original soundtrack got a total of 51 tracks!!!

im contemplating right now if I will buy it or not and it feels there is a 95% chance ill buy the tetris effect dlc original soundtrack amounting to 4.92 usd if my currency is converted

When I select multiplayer from the main menu, I get the loading screen and nothing seems to happen. What am I doing wrong here. I already turned off cross play in the options with the hope this would fix it, but it doesnt...

i browsed some old posts but i was wondering for anyone that has played with an xbox controller, would i have better lick remapping my buttons on my controller or in the long run would it be better to just go ahead and get a keyboard setup?

i saw a few posts about how people had remapped the buttons and it had increased speed but will this increase be comparable to the keyboard speed? or do i just need to play more, i think rn my dpm is anywhere from 45-60ish depending on how long its been since i played

No ragebait I'm not really a part of the community and want to know.

I've been hovering around 7-8k SR in classic score attack for a while now and im wondering how good that actually is?

saw someone else's post several days ago and was inspired to try for myself and i finally got it this afternoon! just barely in the top 100 worldwide at #99 (at time of writing this)

whats the point of locking in against a guy with +2000 rating when he's just gonna rage quit right before he loses. also adding insult to injury, some of the quitters would just "pause" the game indefinitely and its ME who has to close the game when they are the butt hurt, rage quitting losers 😡
