The graphics of the game have been widely criticized as subpar, resembling a low-quality 3D imitation of classic titles like Snake and Tron, with a Minecraft aesthetic that many find unappealing. Reviewers note that the simplistic and poorly executed visuals detract from the overall experience, suggesting a lack of effort in game development and design. While there is some customizability in visuals, the pixel graphics fail to resonate with a significant portion of the audience.
- “This game offers customizability for visuals and sound, but not controls.”
- “This is basically a weak 3D ripoff of Snake/Tron but with poor Minecraft graphics (that might be flipped assets).”
- “It also happens to be easy and doesn't require any proper talent in terms of game development or graphic artists, which is why reviewers are faced with so many of these terrible games with confrontingly bad graphics.”
- “Developers must learn that Minecraft succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

The game's story is perceived as lacking depth and engagement, with players feeling that it relies too heavily on multiplayer interactions instead of a compelling narrative. In contrast to other games like Fall Guys, which offer an exciting and intriguing storyline, this title's main quest is often described as mundane and somewhat perfunctory.
- “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the game.”
- “Compared to Fall Guys, where you're immediately plunged headlong into a sexy story of intrigue and betrayal, this main quest can seem mundane, even perfunctory at times.”

The gameplay of Block Arena is likened to the 'hexagon' minigame in Fall Guys, showcasing a potentially appealing concept; however, many users find it difficult to play effectively. Despite its shortcomings, the unique mechanics and free access earn it a recommendation from some players.
- “The gameplay and idea of Block Arena is not bad, and since it is a free game, it gets a recommendation from my side.”
- “The gameplay idea of Block Arena reminded me very much of the minigame 'Hexagon' in Fall Guys.”
