After reading this I thought there must be a nice and simple Tetris game in the play store. Boy was I wrong. I think some guy has a "block puzzle" empire and has just rereleased the same tetris clone game a hundred times. And official Tetris is a total abomination of unlocks and achievements.

Bummer.
- There are three main Tetris games as far as playability goes.
  Classic Tetris for NES where you play with your foot
  Tetris effect where handling and graphics are decent
  Tetr.io where speed is everything
  
  Notable mentions
  Tetris 99 - tetris for Nintendo switch
  PuyoPuyo tetris - sometimes you play puyopuyo sometimes you play tetris
  
  Everything else is basically irrelevant
  
  Tetris Effect is great, really immersive in VR
- Yeah the ip is very horribly maintained. Imo the best game is an fangame, tetr.io
- I went through a similar thing, conclusion I came to was that as Tetris is so popular, the owners of the IP have it on lockdown... it is quite a specific IP that's kinda hard to do something similar-but-the-same.
  
  Options I came up with were pirating a copy, or xbox game pass (iirc Tetris Effect is available there). Or... are there any Gameboy emulators that run on mobile?
- Tetra classic

  This is quite playable!
- You can play regular Tetris for free on Tetris website on a laptop or something. I agree the app version is abominable
- Google 'first person tetris' it witb turn your world upside down.
  
  I'm glad I decided to re-read the comments on this, as someone with aphantasia who really struggles with spatial stuff... WHAT THE FUCK, you weren't exaggerating haha
- For Android there is Techmino, though it isn't on the Play Store and instead you download it from the project's github. https://github.com/26F-Studio/Techmino
