Vetrix offers a unique and addictive VR spin on Tetris, enhancing the classic gameplay with a third dimension that requires spatial awareness.
The game features smooth performance, good visuals, and a charming retro aesthetic, making it enjoyable for both casual and dedicated players.
Customization options and multiple game modes provide variety, making it a fun addition to any VR library, especially for fans of Tetris.

The lack of falling blocks and a fail state diminishes the challenge and urgency typically found in traditional Tetris, leading to a less engaging experience.
Gameplay can become repetitive due to limited modes and the absence of a block preview, which can frustrate players looking for depth and replayability.
Some mechanics, such as the block placement and rotation, can be unintuitive, leading to confusion and misplacement of pieces during play.

The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its quality and ability to enhance the gameplay experience. However, the lack of variety, featuring only one song, contributes to a sense of repetitiveness, suggesting that additional tracks would significantly improve player motivation and enjoyment.

- “The graphics are really good as well - feels very crisp in headset - the music and audio are great too.”
- “After a few games, there is no motivation to keep playing any of the three modes, which are pretty much the same as each other, and there is only one song, which compounds the repetitiveness.”
- “The music is incredibly repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game for long periods.”
- “With only one track playing throughout, the lack of variety in the music really detracts from the overall experience.”
