"Tetris Ultimate proves that the classic formula still works, and perhaps should be left be. The best features of the new game come from four-player versus, co-op, and things like leaderboards and an activity feed. Unfortunately, with technical issues abound and some design choices that grate on the player over time Tetris Ultimate just doesn't feel like it does the title justice. It doesn't ring as the "Ultimate" version of the old Russian puzzler. The game still functions as it should, and some new modes are halfway interesting, but the sum of the parts just doesn't add up to a great version of Tetris. If you've already got a version of Tetris, you're better off sticking with it, as Tetris Ultimate will really only show value to those craving the 4-player experience, or if you're truly hungry for the latest Tetris release. Otherwise if you're on PC and want a Tetris game, you can literally play it free on the official Tetris website."

About Uktena 64: Ultimate

Uktena 64: Ultimate is a single-player shooter with indie roots that channels the visual quirks of the Nintendo 64 era. Developed by KIRA and released on PC in late 2025, it blends horror and dark comedy through over-the-top scenarios and retro-style polygonal graphics. The game leans into chaotic storytelling and intentionally clunky controls to mimic 90s gaming. If you like irreverent humor and intentionally pixelated aesthetics, this one leans into those vibes hard.

Gameplay

You play as a character thrust into a series of absurd, gory missions where combat is chaotic and precision is optional. Gunplay feels loose, with weapons firing unpredictably and enemies reacting to attacks with exaggerated animations. Levels are short but packed with environmental jokes, like a hallway of exploding portraits or a boss fight set in a sentient food court. The single-player campaign is linear but filled with branching dialogue options that rarely matter. Controls mimic N64’s analog stick imprecision, making movement feel purposefully awkward.

What Players Think

PlayPile’s community data is sparse, but early reviews highlight the game’s “hilariously grotesque” moments. No completion rates or playtime stats are available yet, but the average score from early testers is 4.3/5. Players split between calling it a “masterclass in retro satire” and a “mess with potential.” No achievements are listed, and price hasn’t been confirmed, though rumors suggest a $25-30 range.

PlayPile's Take

Uktena 64: Ultimate is a niche experiment best for fans of intentional retro parody. It’s not a polished shooter, but its commitment to 90s aesthetics and dark humor makes it memorable. If you’ve played games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and appreciated the absurdity of The Stanley Parable, this could hit the right notes. Otherwise, it’s a $25 curiosity.
