You might think that it’s been too long since Roblox was launched for it to be our Game of the Week. But, this amazeballs-and-prestigious award goes beyond novelty and, after a few years with us, Roblox is still a unique concept: it’s not a game but a community. Doesn’t this qualify for Game of the Week?
As with our previous Game of the Week, Roblox has a strong creativity component. With block style graphics, you’ll join a HUMONGOUS community of players from all over the world to create not only new worlds - but also games!
Roblox is actually a set of different games created by the community, which is good sometimes (there are serious gems out there) and not that amazing other times. You’ll find all sorts of games to enjoy, from FPS, to puzzles and arcades. We’ve even been surprised with some good RPGs!
The graphics are quite similar to Minecraft, block-style everywhere, which is actually a good idea, since creators can focus on other game components like gameplay or difficulty. The controls will also be quite familiar for you: joystick on the left side of the screen, camera movement with the right side of the screen and tap for action.
During this years with Roblox among us, we can affirm that is quite a success for young audiences, and the developers behind the app have even applied special restrictions for children under 13. Our opinion? This is quite a great idea and you don’t need to be specially young to enjoy it, so don’t hesitate and give it a try!
