“Play Tetris, my friends.” It’s the quote that opens Digital Eclipse’s latest offering, and one that hits the feels right from the start for those aware of its history.
We outright refuse to believe that we have to explain Tetris to you, because with more than 202 million sales across its numerous versions it’s one of those rare games that have entered the public lexicon. People who have never touched a controller before know what Tetris is.
Not everyone knows its history, however, and even those who do may not be aware of the full story. Tetris Forever, the third game in Digital Eclipse’s exceptional Gold Master series, attempts to tell it in the ‘interactive museum’ format the studio has adopted over the past couple of years.
