I'll start by saying that I am not a fan of this type of games. City-builders are not for me, I don't like playing them even though the concept is interesting.

But Block-hood managed to get and keep my attention. It is visually pleasing, and the sound desing is gorgeous as well. It's pretty easy to learn, and you can easily keep track of everything. You can ignore more advanced technologies if you want to make a friendly and easy-to-maintain neighborhood, or you could go a lot further with buildings that require a lot of thinking and preparation.

The game is not without its flaws, for instance there are animals and people but they're useless since there are no consequences to ignoring their preferences. To me it's a good thing since I prefer more chill / easy games but if you're a more experienced player of this genre I'd highly recommend reading reviews left by people who know a lot better than me what they're talking about.

But as a very casual player, this game is a gem, and extremely satisfying to play.
