In some ways, I use that invasion into my imagination as a litmus test for other games I really enjoy.
I’ve experienced the Tetris Effect, the phenomenon where you see Tetris blocks falling in front of you involuntarily or in your dreams after longer playtime countless times. The experience and loop at the core of Tetris is so undeniably perfect, simple, and addictive, but also second nature to me that playing it has become a meditative experience over the years. Dropping tetrominoes is like riding a bike it’s more familiar to me than anything else in video games. I’ve known Tetris longer than I’ve known most of my closest friends. Tetris Effect Connected brought me out of that funk in a way that little else can. For about ten days, I’ve been listless lacking in any kind of energy and totally without the ability to focus or care about much of anything. One thing about getting COVID-19 that people don’t often talk about (for understandable reasons, there’s a lot more newsworthy stuff about it happening at any given moment) is how it affects your mind.
