Puyo Puyo Tetris is an arcade developed by Sonic Team, released 6 February 2014 on Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
What Puyo Puyo Tetris is
Puyo Puyo Tetris is an arcade game developed by Sonic Team and released in 2014. It was published by Sega. It is available on Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PC (Microsoft Windows).
The premise, in the publisher's words
The main story follows the characters being affected with a series of events that foreshadow the merging worlds of both Puyo Puyo and Tetris. Similar to Puyo Puyo 7, the story is divided into seven acts, with ten playable episodes. These episodes consist of different game modes, which may be played with or without an opponent. However, playable characters are locked, meaning the player can only use the character relevant to that part of the story, including characters that have not yet unlocked.
How it plays
It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are action and kids. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Multiplayer, Single player and Split screen. There are 42 achievements to unlock.

How it was received
Puyo Puyo Tetris holds a critic score of 84 out of 100. That places it above 87% of the 2,164 rated arcade games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2014 averaged 69, so it scored 15 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 82, across 65 votes.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3 or AMD equivalent, 4 GB RAM and DX11 compliant video card with 1 GB VRAM. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 7GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Puyo Puyo Tetris launched on 6 February 2014, within three weeks of The Last of Us: Left Behind, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Last of Us: Left Behind, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
