Powertris has a solid concept. It does. And playing it on iOS proved that it works. But something got lost in translation when moving to the Nintendo Switch, and unless you’re a diehard Tetris fan who really needs something different to learn how to master, I can’t see the appeal.

Overview
Powertris is a shocking mixture of well-known classics - Tetris and Pipermania. By placing blocks, the player must pay attention to whether both sides of the system are connected with the sockets on the edges of the screen. During the game, the player will have to make quick decisions as well as use special blocks.

Reception
It may not be quite as fun as Taito's classic Tube-It but Powertris still offers some solid and challenging score-chasing puzzle gameplay.
Issues aside, Powertris is not exactly bad. Sure, its presentation is beyond lazy, and it does suffer from an annoying amount of input lag, but as a puzzle game, it’s quite decent.
