  7.0

  Coming at arguably a fitting time of the year, The Block — simple and small in scale it may be — makes for an adequate palette-cleanser of a release. Balancing a stripped-back and minimal appearance with a gameplay loop open to self-propelled challenge-making. Its variety on object selection and grid sizes isn’t the most expansive.

  Compared to many other “games as toys”, The Block feels limited. It’s an interesting, tiny city builder that challenges you to make use of finite space, but it fails to capitalize on its unique hook in any meaningful way.

  Its simplistic nature might not be to everyone’s taste, but The Block is a game for those who appreciate a few minutes of relaxation. A chilled experience that’s prime for unwinding.
