Puzzle games have always felt at home on handhelds, if you think back to Tetris, which came packed in with the Game Boy. So it was all the more incredible when 2018's Tetris Effect took one of the most universally recognisable games ever – geometric, rhythmic, graphic – and transformed it into a kind of blockbuster epic with grand vistas and beautiful particle-based visuals that looked amazing on your big TV or in a VR headset (it's one of the best games for PSVR 2), all while still keeping the same gameplay fundamentals of dropping and rotating blocks that Tetris does.
At first glance, it would seem that independent studio Enhance is repeating the trick that made Tetris Effect so successful, with Lumines Arise, a new installment of the classic music-puzzle game.
