EDIT: Almost missed the date thanks to paperwork, but I switched the rating now, as promised. Original review below.

PuyoPuyo is a great game. Tetris is a great game too. PuyoPuyo Tetris is an awesome game.

I've waited to play this for way too long. Almost took the Japanese version on Vita back in 2014, then was glad to hear it came to the Switch last year, but thought it would remain a Switch exclusive... until the PC version was announced. Yay!

The port itself is fine (and I would have had questions if it had not been good) (note: still haven't tried online play), the game is affordable, and it's great. Plus the PC version has dual audio. So I recommend it.

The only negative points I could find about this port so far are the fact the tutorial only displays keyboard and mouse controls (as opposed to the control scheme you're currently using, so if you're using a controller, you might be puzzled at first [pun intended, I'm sorry])... And a much more controversial one, Denuvo.

Before anyone jumps the gun, I buy all of the games I play. My concerns about Denuvo are for legacy issues. As Denuvo Anti-Tamper is supposed (primarily, though it does other things) to protect sales at launch, it doesn't make sense to keep it if the game isn't updated with new content or fixes, and increases the risk to have the game being unplayable later down the road (the same goes for other DRMs). So if in one year from its release, this game still has Denuvo in it, I'll change my rating to "Not recommended", unless it is also actually used to prevent cheating online (which I doubt). What I still don't understand is "why putting it into such a small game", but hey... it's SEGA's loss, I guess.

Copy protection systems are not the problem; it's the way the publishers use them that is.
