This is among the best games I've had the pleasure of playing, hands down.

It's a shame this game doesn't get the attention it deserves. There's a small, yet loyal following that genuinely wants this game to be the best it can be. Even though it's a voxel-based FPS, it far exceeds your run-of-the-mill CoD or BF in many aspects. It's the simplicity of Blockstorm that makes it beautiful.

What's great about this game is amount of customization available through the in-game editor. You can create your own knife skins, guns, mechas, player models, and can even forge your own maps with ease. Because of this, there's a ton of free community-created content via the Workshop. You don't have to sell your house, car, and your left testicle for a knife skin like you would in CS:GO. Just subscribe to an item in the Workshop, and you're good to go.

There is one main criticism I would give this game: The ping. If I had a lamborghini for everytime I shot someone in the face without them dying, I would be Tai Lopez. It's not uncommon to see pings above 150. It can be frustrating dying to someone you KNOW you should have killed. This is one of the reasons why this game may never be competitively viable. However, you'll learn to shrug it off and keep playing. It's still a blast to play!

For the price of a burger, you just can't beat it. Skip food for a day. Buy this game.

I miss the good old days logging in as a teenager, just to kill some noobs. I think during the pandemic, there were 3-4 players, but then now it's dead today. :lunar2020halodragon:

Useful review!

As for the ping issues, you might want to consider it highly depends on where are servers physically located, and where players connect to them from.

Due to the lack of servers in South America, I have to play in servers in North America, or even in Europe, when north american servers get empty, and then my ping often goes beyond 150.

Blockstorm's netcode ain't an issue. The lack of servers in more regions of the world is, but there is not much we can do about it since funding has ceased.
