30 Best Video Games Of All Time

27. Puyo-Puyo Tetris

You could include the first Tetris or the first Puyo-Puyo as the pioneer of their respective "clear the line"/"connect four or more" mechanics, but 2017's blend of the two ticks both boxes simultaneously, alongside letting you play the games separately, if you desire.

What really sets Puyo-Puyo Tetris apart is its hybrid mode, where you're literally playing both games at once, seeing the game swap between them at key intervals. Lining up a few rows on Tetris means that descending piece will then trigger in the background as you move onto matching some Puyo shapes, decimating your opponent in the process.

Once you then get your head around how to plan and execute combos on both games at the same time, it reinvigorates the very feel of such age-old, iconic titles, being the ultimate package and a sign of more hybridised mash-ups in the future.
