And then there's the simple fact that battle royale games are so damned addictive, and it's not as if Tetris wasn't enough of a hook on its own. It's a phenomenal thing, pretty much justifying the cost of a Nintendo Online subscription in one fell swoop, and I dare think of the number of hours I'm going to end up putting in over the course of the year. The funny thing is, towards the end of last year when we were debating what the greatest game of 2018 was, there was a clean split between those who wanted a battle royale game in the shape of Fortnite to win and those who wanted Tetris Effect to champion. Tetris 99 might well be the game that could have appeased both camps. A Tetris game winning our game of the year twice in a row - why not?
