Mason: Building Bricks Reviews

This is a hesitant 'yes'. I like the concept very much, but is it worth $19? At this stage I'd have to say no. Was it worth $9.99 (which is what I paid for it in the Steam New Year's sale)? Ehhhhhh, mostly. As I said, love the concept. What the game REALLY needs in my opinion is an 'undo' button. A big one, prominently marked. The current method of block deletion is very clunky, and tends to leave large holes (very neat and tidy ones to be sure) in the ground. It has huge amounts of potential this game, but it still needs some tweakin'.

I think it is very much worth the price, even better in the sales, runs smooth, great if you like building and designing. You get a choice of which area type you would like to start in. You can build and create anything from a building to a town or village, options are endless.

LATEST EDIT: Thanks for the reply from the dev. Even I haven't play the game since then, I'll turn this to recommend as a support and leave the original reply for reference Excellent game idea, good-looking building once you have managed to build it with the horrible blocks-locating system, good for creating buildings using great diversity of materials However, the building mechanism are troublesome. Even I find the 'F' hotkey to fix height, it is still too difficult to locate a block precisely. It is difficult in choosing the first and the second block Much worse, it seems that whenever you have chosen an area of building to move, you could never cancel this without make the area disappeared or forced to be moved elsewhere. I hope there is undo and redo function, not only for moving but for all actions. I have lost a foundation of the building when making a Roman style building which I have spent 10 mins. All gone At this moment, I can't recommend this game as you might get angry when placing blocks precisely. Once you made this, you might lost your progress if you don't want to place selected blocks to move elsewhere (because it is very difficult to place it back, given the horrible placing system) when you want to move it. This game would be awesome and would be a hidden gem if these problems solved. But with these problems, you may feel awful I hope these problems will be solved and then we could enjoy building inside it. I did enjoy making classical building with simplistic mechanism from this game which is quite rare as far as I know Edit: I have found that there is a undo key "Ctrl + Z"; however it seems that in the game there is no introduction of this, even in the tutorial. Tutorial did mentioned the rotate key. I found the undo key in the update news in Steam.

The game is a good base, but is missing a few things that would make it much easier and more fun to use. The rotation system when rotating a brick desperately needs a change, as having a standard 3-axis rotation is present of almost every other building game like this and allows for more intricate builds. The grid system has a good base, but the option to turn it off would be great, as sometimes I find myself restricted by it. The ability to search for specific pieces by typing in their dimensions in a search bar would be great as well, as the organization for the different kinds of pieces just doesn't feel right, and having to memorize where each piece is is more than annoying. The camera needs a bit of a tweak too, as it isn't possible to get close enough to the ground if you want to add detail in a tight space. I understand this is likely done to prevent clipping but a little change would be nice. This is a good game, but please don't take the minecraft route and keep everything on a grid, as that only serves to restrict overall creativity, which is the very antithesis of what this game was made for.

Okay I just got this and I have to say it is AMAZING. Being able to build what I want, however I want, and it looks good? This game is more like a program and you can easily build whatever buildings you need for whatever reason, mine is stories, which you can build fantastic looking fantasy buildings and huts and whatever you can think of. Thank you to the people that put this together, this is something I've been looking for for a long time. And it's not like Minecraft either, looks better, obviously, builds way simpler, it's really amazing. I don't normally give out this much praise for games in reviews but this game definitely deserves it. Edit: I did get this on sale for about $3, I don't know if it's worth the full price? $20 seems a bit much for it, but I would recommend getting it on sale, 50% off or higher.

where the dirt water and grass section can you add gravel rocks and stone like bedrock? please i am a perfectionist when it comes to these games so please i beg you its just way too much for me to not be any gravel rocks stone and bedrock BUT all in all a great game EXCEPT FROM WHAT I SAID ABOVE so please creators please PLEASE I BEG YOU sir or maam please add gravel .... and like rocks sand i know its to much to ask i think i dont know well thank you for reading if you do read this have a nice life and good luck with whatever developers ---------

I recommend it if you like a building game that takes to master. It is truly nice and so on but still to difficult for me. No problem to download it and so on!

This is an extremely well made sandbox. Very clean and simple, it look's great. I think a co op multiplayer support would really make this special. I feel like we need a castles set too.

A great classic. A block builder: the sandbox by definition! Please note that Mason is not a video game where you need to manage resources or achieve goals. It takes a lot of planning and patience but the only limit is your own imagination. At the moment the theme is very biased towards antiquity and the Greek-Roman period. Developers will most likely add new blocks and features soon. Recommended for those players who really like builders and prefer to relax while building their own world.

The game is as advertised. You build, build, and build more. If you expect anything else, you will be disappointed. Overall, a relaxing experience.
