    Great game, very fun to mess around in, has great modding capabilities and was pretty good for its time. Community can be a bit toxic though so watch out.

    Only reason I'm giving this game a 10 is because this game got (very obviously) review bombed by a single person. Just look at all reviews done on December 26th 2017 and you'll see what I mean. Not sure why Metacritic doesn't care about this.

    Barely anyone plays this game anymore but it is still fun to race others in this game. The graphics are meant to look okay and the gameplay is fun and sometimes even funny. The controls are simple for playing but for building its hard unless you use a laptop without a mouse. 8/10 because it's fun.

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

    Blockland is a fun game. It really is. It makes up a large percentage of my childhood, and helped me waste many depressing hours of my teenage years. The concept is nice, the game is smooth, controls tight. In summary, the game is an average lego/garry's mod hybrid that can entertain anybody for 20 to 100 hours.

    This is the game. The community, however, is a whole different story.

    Quoting 75% of the user reviews, the community is an awful mess of stupidity and egotistical nonsense. I've been playing this game since 2007 and i've been banned six times so far. Even though i've contributed to the community by making add-ons and weapons of sorts, these people just find ways to put you down for their own amusement. This really ruins everything. Blockland is pretty much only fun in multiplayer mode, but with a community this bad, the game is ruined.

    I would give Blockland a 10/10 IF it was a single player game. Unfortunately, it's not, so since half of the game is BS and nonsense, I would rate it 5/10. Although I love this game with all my heart, I cannot love the epitome of a douchebaggy community.    … Expand

It also has one of the best systems I've ever seen in a game: The event system. If you wrench a brick, you can press the "events" button at the bottom and you can choose things for the brick to do. For example, onActivate Self setColor [red] can be one of the events you put. If you click the brick, it will turn red.

If you get bored, invite some friends and have a race or kill each other for the best score with rockets and destructible maps. The real meat of the game is in the user content servers, builds, music, and most importantly add-ons. There are thousands of add-ons available for download that really ramp the game up, from interesting and unique weapons to massive planes!

    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

Singleplayer would be rated T at the least, as their is blood (which is can be disabled in the Add-ons menu) and one "curse" word on the spray can tool, which is cannot be disabled. There is a chat filter in the options menu, but this can still be bypassed. There is a forums, which I would recommend that for use by anyone under 13, or cannot take insults very easily. Most of the in-game community is fine for young use, but the most populated servers are usually the ones that hold the forum community the most. Overall, the game is very innovative, with a wide variety of bricks, decals, player options, and scripts, default and player made. You can make about anything you want in this game. I would give it a 8.5 overall. I highly recommend buying it.… Expand

    I highly encourage anyone who is interested in buying it to buy it. A key for lifetime full access to the game only costs a single payment of $20.00. If I knew back in 2009 that I would still love this game, I would have payed $50.00 or maybe more.

    I've been playing Blockland for five years now and for $20 I can say with certainty that this game is worth every penny five times over. I have never played a game that can give you this much for your money. The value of this game is simply through the roof. As a sandbox game the replay value is simply fantastic but don't go in expecting to do something new every other day. From myI've been playing Blockland for five years now and for $20 I can say with certainty that this game is worth every penny five times over. I have never played a game that can give you this much for your money. The value of this game is simply through the roof. As a sandbox game the replay value is simply fantastic but don't go in expecting to do something new every other day. From my experience I would say that you might find something new to do and play on new servers every other week.

    The core of the game is in building whatever you can think of using cuboid bricks of various shapes and sizes. There are also ramped bricks, round bricks, windows, trees, doors, and various other special bricks. It feels very much like building with Lego bricks but digitally and never running out the colors or bricks you need. Although there is a limit of 256,000 bricks per save/per server but it is quite enough for mostly everything you would want to create. You are not stuck with a static build either. There are animated bricks, bricks that change color, invisible bricks, and you can add events to the bricks. Events are like simplified graphical scripting. You could make some brick change color when you touch it, make it play a sound when you click it, and much more. Using events it is possible to create highly interactive adventures.

    In terms of default content I would say there isn't very much to do but the real strength of the game lies in it's versatile add-on system that allows the community to create new content for the game. Even after years the game still stays fresh because of all the content that is constantly being created for the game. There are thousands of add-ons available and almost none of the add-ons conflict with each other so in theory it would be possible to run them all at once but there is a limit to how many add-ons you can have active at once. I believe the add-on system quite similar to Garry's Mod. The system has it's limitations but adding new content is really easy. You don't modify any of the default files of the game but rather load in .zip archives that contain the necessary files for a new world, weapon, vehicle, etc. In some games you can spend hours looking for mods that work together then another several hours trying to get the game to run without crashing. In Blockland I just browse through all the cool mods and go "Oh sweet, downloaded!" and it just works out of the box. The problem with this sort of add-on system where you basically can't modify the core game is that if you don't have access to the game code and everything must be done through scripting. It has it's limitations but it has kept the game afloat for years.

    Blockland is definitely an online game. Playing alone can be fun and easier at times but the multiplayer aspect of the game is much more fun. There are usually ~150 players online at any given time but when it's night in the Americas things get rather quiet. There are often only 2-6 large 32 player servers during peak hours and the rest of the players are spread out across a dozen of 0-6 player servers. There are a variety servers ranging from the usual team deathmatches, capture the flags, and deathmatches to racing, roleplaying, puzzles, and simply servers dedicated to building.

    Blockland may look like a innocent Lego-like game but I would still not recommend this game for the younger folk. The community consists mostly of teenagers (as well as few older adults) and the online servers and game forums are not particularly child friendly.    … Expand

Blockland too has some decent graphics with the recently added shadows and shaders system, but the system is a bit poorly optimized. When you go online into other servers and build your creations there, there will be no fear of griefers thanks to the trust system. As much as I hate comparing, this is something ROBLOX and Minecraft failed to do and one of the reasons I prefer this game over the others. You can also customize your character, but not as much as I think it could be able to do. Furthermore, the game allows you to do much more than just build: with the gamemode system, you can decide to jump into a game of SpeedKart, explore the MotE Mansion, or just build! Overall, $20 is a very solid price for this game and I highly recommend you pick it up as soon as possible.… Expand

    The land of the blocks.

    I am sure you are not familiar with Blockland so I will tell you all about it. Just by seeing the title you can already tell that this game is about blocks. It is a game based on constructing whatever you want and then putting weapons and NPCs (Non player characters) into the game (It is optional). You can customize the NPCs to make them follow you or stay away    The land of the blocks.

It is a game based on constructing whatever you want and then putting weapons and NPCs (Non player characters) into the game (It is optional). You can customize the NPCs to make them follow you or stay away from you or just roam around. There are many thing you can do with the NPCs thanks to events.

    Events are practically what allow you to open doors explode blocks and change your character. Events lets you change the game around so it fits whatever you wanted to do with it, it lets you make your character giant or mini it lets you change if you want to have like the ability to fly with jets on your feet, turn into a sea creature or another animal. Events lets you customize them to let bricks disappear by pressing a button or another brick. As you can see Blockland is a very complicated game if your a beginner that does not know anything about it. Blockland has 3 tools which you can locate by pressing Q on your keyboard. Wrench is a tool that people that have Blockland use A LOT because it is the main tool to use. The wrench is what lets you wrench bricks and have options if you want to add fire to a brick or if you want to go in events even if you want to add weapons or make it light up a room. If you use effects and you want a fire to go another direction on the brick and not up you can press n to face if north or the other ones like e, s, or w. The hammer is used to delete bricks if you did not place one where you wanted it. All you have to do is click the brick with the hammer in your hand and it disappears. The printer is used for pasting pictures on to blocks for example a sign that says closed if you made a store or a sign that says Go for a stop light. To build in Blockland you use the num pad located on the right of your keyboard. To move bricks where you want them you press eight to make it go forward the way you are facing two to go backwards four to make it go left and six to make it go right. If you wanted to lower the brick you would press five and if you wanted to make the brick go higher you press the on the num pad.

    The reason why i would rate it a nine is because it is a unique game that lets you play the way you want to play it and you can do anything to it to make it just like real life. Even though Blockland is a complicated game, the way that they made it is what makes it a good game.    … Expand

    People on the forums play the forums, not the game.

    2. The recent UI overhaul to Blockland makes creating a server a pain. Very minor, most people won't be hosting servers unless it's single player.

    3. No more terrain/interior maps. Every map is a clean slate. The previous bedroom and kitchen maps were taken out to make room for a shader overhaul to the game's engine.

There are people who will say that those who oppose map removal (they were removed for being glitchy and broken, though I didn't see any fault) hate change and can't move forward. However, for players who don't like building as much as deathmatching or dicking around, the removal of maps was a significant thing. The removal of maps has lowered my interest in the game significantly. However, the community is pretty cool, it's small enough to where your name will be known, if you interact on the forums enough, make popular mods, or host good servers. Good servers are still around, though I feel their presence has diminished significantly. It was definitely a good buy 6 years ago, and I'd say the same again now.
