Everyone loves Tetris. Really, it’s true. According to a two second Google search, the game has sold (or been downloaded) over 200 million times and is available on over 65 platforms – that’s a whole lot of block stacking. While you might think that every Tetris game is essentially the same (I mean… blocks are still falling right?) that’s not exactly the case as there’s been plenty of differences between various versions of the game. So today, for our weekly countdown, we’re taking a look at the top 10 best Tetris games.
10 – Tetris Attack
Best Tetris and Puzzle games online. Welcome to the world of best free online Tetris games. Freetetris.biz offers you a huge range of so many types of Tetris. Here you can play all day long and never get bored. Mario Tetris, Tetrix, Ocean Bubble, Vanish Those Viruses, Minola, Tetris N-Blox and Woobies are only few of the great collection of.
Ok ok put down your pitchforks. I know that Tetris Attack is not really a Tetris game but in actuality plays more like Panel de Pon but it has Tetris in the title so and it’s a great game in it’s own right so… here it is. An absolute gem back on the Super NES, Tetris Attack takes the rock solid gameplay from Panel de Pon (a hit in Japan) and merges it with presentation elements from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island and the result is a classic puzzle game. It might not be a Tetris game in the proper sense but it definitely deserves recognition.
9 – Tetrisphere
Ok let’s get into some games that are actually Tetris starting with Tetrisphere for the Nintendo 64. I remember seeing tons of promotional materials for this game back in the day in Nintendo Power and being completely confused by that this actually was. Being a confused pre-teen I decided to move on to more understandable concepts only revisiting Tetrisphere much later in life and you know what? It’s not bad. A bit confusing yes, seeing as how you’re trying to break through a spherical globe of tetri
The Tetris TGM DS homebrew is perfect to all 3 versions of ARS gameplay, contains a bunch of ridiculous features and customization, and has surprisingly commercial-like polish to it. It's my personal favorite and if it wasn't shut down and multiplayer was added it'd the best Tetris game unquestionably. When you think of the best game franchises that could end up being converted into a battle royale one of the last that comes to mind would be Tetris, that is until the release of the Nintendo Switch exclusive Tetris 99. Nintendo, in a surprise release that seemingly came out of the blue proved that the classic block dropping formula could work.
8 – Tetris 2
You don’t really hear a lot of talk about Tetris 2 these days and it’s a real shame, because it’s an interesting part of Tetris history and a game variant I wish would come back. Basically a cross between a classic round of Tetris and Bomberman, the game introduces special explosive blocks to the mix, changing up the gameplay just enough to feel fresh while stay true to its Tetris roots. If you have an old NES or Game Boy kicking around, you should definitely try to track this one down. Speaking of the Game Boy…
7 – Tetris (Game Boy)
Tetris for Game Boy is quite possibly one of the most important video games of all time. Nintendo’s decision to claim the handheld rights to the burgeoning puzzle craze and bundle it with their newest portable system was a stroke of genius. The Game Boy went on to sell over 70 million units and cemented Nintendo as the king of portable gaming, a title it continues to claim to this day. As for the game itself, Tetris earned its reputation with its easy to pick up nature and addicting gameplay loop. And the rest, as they say is history (you are readying a list of the best Tetris games after all).
6 – Puyo Puyo Tetris
Best Tetris Game Ios
Who would of thought that combining two of the world’s best puzzle games into one would of been great? Actually saying it like that makes it seem like a no brainer and really, the idea behind Puyo Puyo Tetris really is! Playing both classics at the same time with what happens on one board affecting the other is a genius idea that forces your brain into overdrive as you manage both gameplay styles at once. If you can definitely check this one with a friend, the multiplayer is fantastic.
5 – Tetris Party Deluxe
Ain’t no party like a Tetris Party! The Wii era is one of the most remarkable times for Nintendo as the new methods of play offered by the motion-control focused controller gave many classic game franchises a fresh way to play them and Tetris was no exception. Tetris Party Deluxe was an enhanced port of a WiiWare game which added in new features like local and online (!) multiplayer to the block stacking classic. Even today this game is a blast to go back too, especially if something like (spoilers!) the next entry on this list is a bit too intense.
4 – Tetris 99
When you think of the best game franchises that could end up being converted into a battle royale one of the last that comes to mind would be Tetris, that is until the release of the Nintendo Switch exclusive Tetris 99. Nintendo, in a surprise release that seemingly came out of the blue proved that the classic block dropping formula could work wonderfully in a competitive environment, offering high stakes gameplay that pushes your block stacking skills to the test.
3 – Tetris Effect
On the other side of the coin is the zen and relaxing VR game, Tetris Effect, a game all about zoning out and becoming entranced in the titular Tetris effect – a state of mind where players become so entranced by the game that their mind goes into a sort of hyper-relaxed state. A great way to help relax after a stressful day, Tetris Effect is more than a fun new way to play a classic game but great tool for meditation and relaxation too.
2 – Tetris DS
What do you get when you combine a heaping helping of Nintendo nostalgia and classic Tetris? Well you get Tetris DS, one of the most stealthily underrated game on the Nintendo DS. Absolutely jam-packed with game modes, fun multiplayer options and tons of Nintendo goodness this was a must-own for players who liked to play their DS on the go, offering up hours and hours of fun. It even served as the inspiration for the DSiWare exclusive Art Style: Pictobits and equally excellent puzzle game for Nintendo’s OG dual-screen system.

1 – Tetris (EA)
Yes I was surprised too but it’s true, EA can make great games when they put their mind to it and Tetris (EA) for mobile devices is not just a great game in its own right but the best version of Tetris you could play. I say could because, in a total tragedy for gaming as a whole the game was recently removed from online stores making it completely inaccessible. While this paints a strong argument for video game preservation there’s not much that can be done about it now, so hopefully players who got a chance to experience the original have great memories. Come on EA – bring this one back!
