Build A City Block Reviews

Super fun addictive game. If you have enjoyed Tetris you will like this game.

KINDA recommend (depending what kind of game you're after). Not bad if you like Tetris-type games. It is a bit more relaxed, because the blocks aren't falling. Also, this is not a flashy, fancy Tetris game. You basically have what I'll call "city blocks," all of which are mini Tetris boards. But instead of filling in a line, you fill in the "city block." You can drop the pieces anywhere you rotate and set them, and you have 30 seconds to position the piece and set it, which isn't hard at all if you have played much Tetris. You can get "caught" because if you drop a piece on one board, and it is sticking into another "city block," it will drop the spare piece there. But that is also part of how you play, so it's not bad or good to do that, but it can trip you up. I would say only get the game if you want a relaxing Tetris-y puzzler. I will play it more if I remember, but I have too many games to play, and I gotta be in a "Tetris mood" to really get into these types. TBH, reminds me of a "classicy board game" phone game. I play Reversi and Checkers a ton on my phone because it's pretty easy and occupies my brain. This game doesn't play like Reversi, but it has that same "I can let my brain do other stuff while I occupy myself" kind of feel. I was gonna play for like 5 minutes on the tutorial and ended up playing half an hour, but I didn't feel the need to play for 5 hours either. So kinda like Reversi or Checkers in that regard. Anyway, if you want a slower "old man game," give it a go. If not, stay clear, because you're not gonna get Godzilla coming to tear down your city, or an epic quest or anything like that. You just move blocks. That's it.
