    It pains me to give this game a low score, as the game itself is really good. The game is truly unique based on modding alone, you can really do some nice things here without needing to butcher the game.

The game is truly unique based on modding alone, you can really do some nice things here without needing to butcher the game. Most of my recent experience with the game was learning to mod the game, and making some nice projects! Even if you don't know how to code(the game uses torquescript) there is an ingame "event system" where you can assign events to individual bricks to make them do things. 'Pseudocode' if you catch my drift.

    However, after playing this game for years... I have to say everything this game has to offer has been exhausted. The community is not as large as it was when I started playing it as a kid back in 2008(give or take one year), modding is not as big or as encouraged as it was, the remaining community has a much more negative tone, is an echo chamber, and fun is no longer had or allowed. The game typically has 100 to 300 people online, with the higher numbers occuring during morning hours in the Americas.

    Part of me wishes this game became grossly overexposed like minecraft has instead of what the game is now... Surely anything would be better than its current state. Just check out the official forums, there is a 'Drama' board dedicated to ruining the reputation of the innocent. There's even been instances of personal info being exposed and even swatting of one user(or possibly more I don't know about) who were just saying mean things online in a chatroom of a competitive video game server that might have hurt people's little feelings. What the heck. There's also some real bad 'superuser' hierarchy stuff going on, these users being barely known outside of the Blockland community. The developer has also banned people from his services for providing civilized constructive criticism.

    Buy it only for the game, and only if you want to play with your group of friends, isolated from the remaining community. I cannot stress this enough! Interacting with the community could be dangerous and it is one of the reasons I left. I'm going to keep playing with my friends and probably experiment with modding when alone.

    Just a slight warning: Apparently the mac port is nearly unplayable according to what people have told me. Don't take my word for it though, I'm not the one to go asking what's new with the game    … Expand

    Really terrible game, awful controls, one of the most toxic communities in the world, and generally really bad game play. Don't buy this terrible game. And it's bad bad bad bad bad. It has the worst everything, I will stop ranting now but ugh I can't get my money back.

    The Worst Worst Worst game I have ever played in my whole entirety of my life. It's really bad, like I can't describe how bad it is, avoid it like the plague or you will regret it, believe I have tried to like but now, im destined to be that guy who bought blocklands and got scammed by. Really baD game.

    Disgusting game, stole my hard earned money, what a piece of false dreams, hoped for something that would change my Rukusian look on the world but no, off course it's the worst game ever made by any person, and yes developers, fix your damn game!

    I wish I spent the 10$ I bought this game for on a plastic bow, it would have been more rewarding than this shovelware game.

    First of all, let me say that the concept of the game is excellent.
    But unfortunately, the people who play it are not. Especially the Blockland Forums.
    Players over there are a bunch of sadistic morons who like to jump on bandwagons instead of thinking about things for themselves. The users care more about who is popular than who is right.

    The users care more about who is popular than who is right. This is the worst game community I have ever come across.
    To make matters worse, the most active forum moderator is called 'Ephialtes'. He is often unjust and bans people just because he hates them. That abusive moderator will remain there forever.
    It gets even more horrible when you consider that the creator of the game, "Badspot", has the right to de-activate your product key for any reason. Badspot can do it for any reason, at any time.
    3 of my Blockland keys got de-activated because I was merely SUSPECTED of doing a DoS attack on the game. There was no hard evidence at all. I was banned from the forums and the game, mostly due to the fact that Ephialtes hates me.
    There is also a lot of flaming on the BL forums, and the community can get aggressive at times. It's very easy to get banned if you don't follow the rules carefully.
    Like I said before, the game is amazing, but the forums and players make it horrible, and ruin the good name of Blockland.
    If you want to be one of those idiots on the forums, go ahead and pay $20 for the game. You're not going to be able to exist there without being liked by the stupid community. I spent 2.5 years playing this, and I've experienced most of the negative aspects of the game.    … Expand

    One of the worst purchases I've ever made...
    Before I begin my review, I just want to point out that pretty much all the 10/10 scores are known names in the Blockland community; with a quick Google search you will find that almost every single last one of them is very active on the (quite awful) forum, and is probably inflating the game's Metacritic user score to help Badspot [developer]    One of the worst purchases I've ever made...
    Before I begin my review, I just want to point out that pretty much all the 10/10 scores are known names in the Blockland community; with a quick Google search you will find that almost every single last one of them is very active on the (quite awful) forum, and is probably inflating the game's Metacritic user score to help Badspot [developer] make more sales.
    I'll make this brief:
    The game is TWENTY DOLLARS aand...
    -Graphics look like complete for a 2007 game. Even for an indie game.
    -Once you build there really aren't any fun things to do with your stuff.
    You can always hold a deathmatch in them (with some boring weapons) but that gets very repetitive and boring very quickly.
    The extra minigames and gamemodes don't help at all because they are essentially the same thing as the default ones. You'll either end up doing the same deathmatch mode again in a different format or playing a watered down demake of a different, probably better, game.
    -There are NO physics in this game. That's right. You can't build moving structures OR weapons with your bricks. That means whatever you build in this game will forever be worthless.
    -The developer is an arrogant hack that calls off any criticism and refuses to fix any issues with his game, instead adding more worthless gimmicks and directionless additions to the game.
    -The community is awful. Being an online block game it should be expected that there are a lot of children who participate in the community, but these children are a special kind of awful. This game has some of the rudest, most disrespectful sociopaths I have ever met (and you will probably ever meet) on the Internet. Friendly criticism is looked very harshly upon, if not completely outlawed on the forum and even inside the game itself. Expect to be banned from the forum (or even the game!) if your opinion doesn't sit well with the general populace.
    CONCLUSION: You will grow bored of this game very quickly. Its problems don't help with that fact either. Save your money. Get Garry's Mod for $10. While its community also isn't too great, the core game allows for much, much more than Blockland does, and you'll still probably find a few respectful players as well. You'll more likely find something tailored to your interests in Garry's mod than Blockland. 2/10.    … Expand

    It's actually not that fun. There isn't much you can do, and it gets boring right away. The community is horrible and think they're better than others, so thats why I think it's 0/10.

    I don't want to hate on the game too much but I feel like a little kid too much when playing this game. The difference between a game like this is minecraft is a huge difference. Minecraft offers enemies and an easy to pick up game. Blockland is just confusing and there is no overall goal. They make the pictures look amazing but that is only if you put countless hours into it.

    When you win an award for being the best minecraft ripoff ever you know there's a problem. don't buy this game, I'd rather watch Jumaji 10 times again and again and see the rock's bald head rather than play this shovel ware.
