Block'hood VR Reviews

It's the same half-finished game but in VR. It's pretty good. Controls are butt 5/10 but still recommended because VR

10/10 (played in VR) Wow! What a brilliant game! This is for the player who wants a management sim where they can examine all of thier inputs and outputs. One tiny new purchase sets everything out of balance. There is massive replayability here, and this is well worth your hard-earned. DEVELOPERS: need to match rate of increase of resources to the item descriptions. If the unit says it will produce +2 fresh air, and the information says it actually produces +0.13, this is confusing for my poor brain. No biggy. Just a tip to improve this game in future patch maybe.

As much as I like the game in 2D, the 3D port is was near unplayable for me. I'm currently working with the Oculus Rift S, and the controls seemed mapped to something completely different. I couldn't even place the first block in the Tutorial, so that's a big no from me, my dude

Wonderful aesthetic and interesting concept, but unfortunately I have been entirely unable to enjoy it due to incomprehensible and unusable controls. Really wish the controls or even the explanation on how to use the controls made sense, I could not even get through the tutorial before backing out and uninstalling.

Extremely finicky VR controls and a UI not really suited for that purpose, I have to vote this one down. The flat-screen variant of this game is probably fine so go check it out but I wouldn't get the VR version unless you want to deal with frustration. I'm hoping someone can come with a good take on city-building VR though, I definitely think it's possible and this game comes within range of it being possible, but it just needs more work.

This is just horrible. Couldn't even get through the tutorial. You place an elevator shaft, then it messes up and places a second elevator shaft right next to it. No problem, next step is to delete anyway. Tried to delete, but the game doesn't let me. Restart the tutorial, carefully placing only one shaft, now I can delete the one block I placed. A few steps further the tutorial ignores my zoom/pan/rotation attempts. Devolver put their name on this? Imagine how at least two people must have playtested this and thought: "Well, this is good enough, can't see any problems here!" And then went to lunch, apparently.

I really like this game. Its a fun and easy to understand game. There are challenges as well as a free play mode and lots of different buildings to use. The game reminds me of games like sim city and I always loved to play that game when I was younger. Some things that could use some improvement -It could use a little bit of work on the touch menus because they go away the moment your hand isn't on them. Maybe a timer or a back button would go a long way to making that better. -I also think that a game like this where you build towers should have easy access to the up down splice buttons. Using a second menu level instead of just having them under the pause and play button on the right seems like an odd move due to how ofen you probably use it. -There should be some axis inverse options for the camera. Its not a big problem but its a bit annoying from time to time to move the wrong way. Up and down make me move up and down, but left and right make me move right and left. With all that said, I'd say for what the game is trying to do and what it did, I would still give this game a 9/10. Just because most of the things that could use improvement didn't detract from the game

Avoid this game. On Index, the game only intermittently registers controller input, making basic tasks completely impossible. I spent 10 minutes trying to inspect a block with a pig on it while the game ignored me. Just enough time to delete this piece of garbage from my hard drive.

I want to love this game SO BAD - the aesthetics & game mechanics are awesome & it looks so good in VR. However, the camera controls make this basically unplayable for me. I just about lost my mind trying to get my "block" island to be on a level plane & ended up with it floating upside down over my head a few times. It really needs some easily accessible auto snapping / camera reset options - once that's addressed, it'll be awesome!

Runs poorly on vive... No programming expert, but to my understanding the issue is caused by this: The Vive controllers has pressure sensative Triggers, Blockhood seems to just look for a trigger imput without factoring a pressure threshhold, Resulting in miss clicking all over the place. As a result, the click interface is next to unusable... Dissapointed because the game looks up my ally. :/
