As of 2008, Tetris holds the achievement of the most ported video game in history. Which makes sense. Virtually any electronic device can run Tetris. That's the beauty of its design: difficult to master, but arguably the most accessible controls and objectives ever.  Doom, however, is hot on Tetris's heels. You can play Doom on virtually any personal computing operating system, most consoles, and lots of handhelds. You can even run the game on a piano. Can you play Tetris on a piano?

Persona 5 is a very long game. My first playthrough was about 120 hours, so you can imagine how much time I'll be putting into Persona 5 Royal--an expanded version of the base game--which I am in the process of reviewing. Thankfully, every hour of P5R has been (and continues to be) an absolute joy and a tremendous reminder of why I loved the original in the first place.
