Tetris Effect - Metamorphosis: Always Been But Never Dreamed - Theater Mode

[@DJ.__]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find themselves just sitting on the PS4 home screen listening to the theme music, and just hitting up and down to see the dolphins jumping?

I literally just bought it because of this comment

How was this game not nominated for best soundtrack!?

[@tizerk]

i have honestly no idea. It was beat by a Beat Saber song in the VR best music category. Like Beat Saber has some nice music, but really??

[@lighterinthestorm]

@@tizerk Because it is just some simple electronic music. Yes it is beautiful and nice, but doesn't come close to orchestral and choral pieces of soundtrack that other games get in terms of complexity

[@jju00]

@@lighterinthestorm That's not exactly true but it is harder to appreciate since Tetris Effect's music is more atmospheric than melodic.

[@jju00]

@@lighterinthestorm Besides Beat Saber doesn't have THAT many good original songs, most are already known songs or remixes. And adding insult to injury, many of the most popular maps are custom.

This is by far the hardest level not just because it's the last one, but because you're not only contending with insane speed but also with too much sparkles clogging up your Ram and with tears distracting your eyes

[@AggroNoobs]

The sense of accomplishment beating this as the final song/challenge in journey really did feel like some sort of metamorphosis . It forced me to learn SO MUCH and made me a far better player by the end. When that crescendo and her voice hit as you nailed that last line was just ORGASMIC and gave me goose bumps. ( I never get those... like ever?) The lyrics sure push that feeling along too. God dammit Mizuguchi. I've not had a game give me that... Ever? And Bloodborne/ Souls is my favorite series?!

[@0utrunner237]

Last 10 lines, but I made a horrible hard drop play. Saw my entire gameplan and construction crumble right before me. Instinctively started playing halfhearted since winning at that point was a pipedream. But something told me I couldn't give up completely, not after so much progress. As more and more mistakes built up so did the panic and dread of failure. Then a miracle happened, and she asked me; _"What could you be afraid of?"_ That's a feeling you can only experience once in life.

I never really got into Tetris before. I was looking through different games during a sale on the PlayStation store. Funny enough, this wasn’t even on sale, it was just on the recommended tabs. It stood out though. So I watched the trailer and did a little research. And idk why but something immediately clicked with me. I stopped looking up info on it because I didn’t want anything spoiled, and the following day I bought the physical edition that was half the price. 2 weeks later, after getting pounded by this level over and over again, something clicked again.
