To boycott, or not to boycott, that is the question.edit: to boycott, that is the answer.

I do not recommend this game.
AND
I do not not recommend this game.

Oh hey, the game actually runs without crashes; it did not need a patch to add custom binding... and online multiplayer actually works!

Right in the feels

Final final edit: don't waste time reading my review of Tetris Ultimate. If you're interested in Tetris on Steam, search for 'Puyo Puyo Tetris' instead. No problem, you're welcome.

The game does NOT allow you to remap keys in the options menu.
I do not recommend this game.
(edit) A patch has been released that tackles this problem

The game also suffers from crashes..
(edit) The game still suffered from crashes, tested on two Win 10 systems. But I've actually been able to play without crashes on both systems after
- Running steam and Uplay as administrator and verifying the integrity of the game cache
- On one system, I also had to run the game on Win 7 compatibility mode (I've no idea why this worked)
This doesn't mean that you'll be able to run it without crashes

(edit) First impression:
There are too many small annoyances (menu, audio and visual) that has nothing to do with gameplay/game modes itself. Navigating through menus feels unintuitive. The method of remapping key bindings looks amateurish. There are some unnecessary, annoying visual effects during gameplay that can't be completely turned off. So overall, it just leaves a bad taste. This game has several game modes in addition to the standard marathon, sprint and battle, but there is nothing special, exciting or worth mentioning about them.
Online multiplayer is practically dead, and there doesn't seem to be a way to invite someone for a 1v1 match.
This game was released 1,5 years on pc after its first public announcement. However it feels (or is?) rushed, lacks proper support from Ubisoft, seems to have been a low priority money grab project, and it is clearly a lazy, unoptimized port from console to pc.

If you consider it nothing more, nothing less than a simple single player tetris game, then you could enjoy it casually on a rainy day. However, I would definitely not recommend this pc version of Tetris to anyone.

PS The best thing about Tetris Ultimate is its commercial.
