Tetris is the kind of game that looks harmless until you realize you’ve been staring at falling blocks for three hours straight. Released in 1987, this deceptively simple puzzle masterpiece is basically a digital stress test disguised as entertainment. Rotate, drop, clear lines, repeat until your brain starts seeing tetrominoes in your sleep. There’s no story, no characters, and absolutely no mercy once the speed ramps up. It’s pure gameplay distilled to its essence, like chess but with more panic. The genius lies in its simplicity: easy to learn, impossible to quit. Somewhere out there, a block is falling, and it’s judging you.
