10 Insanely Good Free Switch Games
5. Tetris 99
Tetris, a game as old as time, or at least as old as the mid-80s. Here’s a game which spawned thousands of copycats, parodies, remakes and a worldwide battle to see who can last the longest. Well, maybe I’m exaggerating that last part, but with the new and free release of Tetris 99 it seems like an appropriate thing to say. Combing the perfect amounts of luck and skill, Tetris is a rollercoaster of a ride, forcing the best of players to predict likelihoods several turns in advance, or to go with the flow and get lucky.
Finally, we can see which strategy prevails as 99 players from around the globe battle at once to see whose Tetris game can last the longest. Yup, it’s block-matching meets Battle Royale. This is an amazing method of breathing life back into an old game, finally bringing Tetris into the 21st century with its killer catchphrase: ’99 Players… But Only One Will Remain’.
