That game seems similar to Kirby's Avalanche and Puyo Pop Fever, as they both involve puzzle games where you develop a chain to drop stacks on the other player.
For some reason the feel and flow of those games have always felt kind of gross, draggy, poorly paced/sluggish, and uninteresting to me. There's something much more frenetic and visceral about Tetris Attack/Panel De Pon/Pokemon Puzzle League that those games lack, IMO. One big difference is that in the Puyo games, you're not swapping things all over the board in real time and trying to make split-second changes as you start to see chains develop.That game seems similar to Kirby's Avalanche and Puyo Pop Fever, as they both involve puzzle games where you develop a chain to drop stacks on the other player.

In fact, when Puyo Puyo Tetris was released, I was like "Ugh, why would you ruin Tetris by crossing it with this crap?"
I'd say the Gamecube has the highest ratio of underrated games in regards to consoles imo.
I didn't play that specific version so I can't speak to the charm of it, but I'm not really a fan of the raw mechanics of those games.I never played Puyo Pop but I loved Kirby's Avalanche growing up. That game had a lot of character.
Kenshi is the greatest game of the last few years but no-one talks about it. It has so much layers to it and so much playability. I mean it has lots of little things that you have to learn but the stories that come from it are awesome. And it has a free- demo on steam.
The year is 1268, the English throne lies empty, and power-hungry lords are ready to wage war for newfound power. Your people now look to you to lead them to glory and prosperity. Manage your lands, strike bargains, betray alliances and ultimately destroy your rivals in this classic combination of turn-based and real-time strategy, and become the undisputed Lord of the realm!
Medieval Strategy on a Sweeping Scale
You begin as the ruler of a small county, but lead wisely and keep your people secure and thriving, and soon you’ll broaden your horizons.
Manage your farms, make trade negotiations, build castles, flatter and deceive your opponents and then march your armies into the lands of your rival nobles. Unify the land under your rule, and prove you have what it takes to be King.
Key Features

- Fortify your lands and design castles with moats, towers, drawbridges, keeps and more.
- Conquer your rivals in challenging real-time battles that test your tactical acumen.
I don't know how it was received at the time because I was too young to care or remember, but Lords of the Realm II was a lot of fun on PC. The higher difficulties were always incredibly challenging, at least at the time, and I liked that it had both the military strategy RTS-ish aspect along with the economic side.
