10 Essential Nintendo Switch Games Every New Owner Must Play

8. Puyo Puyo Tetris

As a window into the future of hybridised beloved classics, the merging of Puyo Puyo and Tetris is a masterstroke.

Literally seeing developers Sonic Team (yup, they took a break from nurturing the Blue Blur) roll together both iconic games, you've got the 'connect four colours' of Puyo with the line-building delights of Tetris. The kicker? You play both simultaneously, the game swapping between both modes every few seconds.

Lines created and shapes formed in the background - say, if a piece is falling into place when the switchover happens - will damage your opponent, and soon enough you'll be chaining together combos across both games at once, maximising your score in the process.

There's an initial learning curve to realising your brain can handle two different games at the same time, but when Puyo Puyo Tetris clicks, it's a masterclass in sheer game design.
