Roblox is a very fun game for young kids to play and for even older people to create content and meet new friends, Even though there are sometimes when people are mean and don't understand that not everyone is like them so they just mess around trying to get a reaction, this is the main reason why I am giving Roblox 4 stars.
Firstly I am a player who`s been currently playing for 5 long years and I`m here to share an experience that has just happened to me for the first time. I`m currently writing this 20 mins after the event. First let me start overall when you overlook the major problems its a really smooth business with plenty of splendid games. But a main problem is banning...it`s okay to ban but to ban without knowing the reason is very rude and unfair for the banned person. They might have been bullied talked back(maybe not insult but question why the player did ----(something bad example bully or insult) and get reported and banned that is very rude and unacceptable i can`t stand unsensible movements that you did not even think about or look into properly into, sure it may not be your job to check the chat in a game that caused them to be banned before banning them so you know if they have a very good reason for saying something. The reason i am unable to screen shot is because i am playing on a laptop and i was not with any type of other device,plus i got banned veryt quickly.
The only thing I tell guardians is you should base the account settings on what the child wants. Its an awesome game. Definitely recommend.

Hey, I understand lots of people hate ROBLOX. I wanna give those people a reason to NOT hate ROBLOX.
1. You got hacked. You got scammed. Your fault. Duh.
2. ODers. Like most lovers of ROBLOX say, they're just random people roleplaying. Chill.
3. You bought a one million dollar Robux purchase. Then boom. You don't get them. It's very rare for this to happen, but if it does shake it off. ROBLOX will ask you for proof, so give them proof.
4. Bullies. Sexy People. Predators. Block. Report. Done. Magic!
5. Oh noes little Timmy is devastated. Use your parental controls. And I don't recommend 1,2, or 3-year-olds to play ROBLOX. Please don't burn Timmy in a stake.
6. rObUx Is ExPeNsIvE... how else would the company make money? Like, buying things cost money people.
7. Unfair Bans... Contact the company. Read the reason. Wow, again. Magic!
8. THE COMPANY DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY REPORT- You think a billion reports a day can ALL be answered?
9. Oof- a scammer or hacker found my house. That's on YOU.
10. Boring updates- ok, if YOU THINK they're boring then just play whatever you want. Don't need to complain to the reviews about it.
11. OH MY GOSH SEX GAMES! First of all, you actually have to LOOK for these types of games. So yeah, they're pretty rare. Mega Rare.
Anyways, just wanted to tell you, haters, out there that these are the explanations for your complaints.

Roblox still couldnt make a 100% fix to their crashes. They got rid of tix as well. If that isnt enough to shock you roblox has a bunch of games that don't sound or look kid friendly i have experienced this behavior being allowed on roblox. The chat is broken. There is porn on roblox. Online dating as well. Violence is another thing wrong. Has a lot of good games for children but is unstable and unplayable. All the time i wasted i could have spent money on a coke at mcdonalds i think it would have probably provided more enjoyment. Also people get banned or terminated for unfair reasons. Report button barely works. The upgrades dont do $#*!. Robux is too expensive. Parents save yourselves the money make your kids go outside and build a statue out of bricks its more safer for them than with this p. O. s pros: Games are addicting
You can run underwater
Cons: Unfair bans
No second chances
A marathon of crashing
Inappropriate or disgusting content
Online daters
You can run or walk underwater
Easy to flip your car
Scams
Pedophiles
Too addicting
Full of games that make no sense
Needing to buy robux at expensive prices to buy stuff
Chat is broken
Disgusting community
A lot of other bad stuff
My conclusion: Its too early to call it a good game

Roblox takes advantage of it's users and developers. Their entire platform is built on the backs of international child labor, that is not an exaggeration. They disguise themselves as a creative outlet for children to earn money and take 75% of the developers revenue. They don't respect their players or those who generate their revenue. There have been multiple accounts, of which you can readily watch documentation of on YouTube, of people coaxing children off-platform into communication sites like Discord to groom them, and they refuse to take responsibility for that, despite that these people are actively playing alongside your children in-game and CAN be identified through their Discord user id I know because I've been a part of a group that traced a scammer back to their Roblox username. They know VERY well that what they're doing is malicious and have refused to do anything about it for years. Other platforms take 15%, 30%, 40% from their developers. Some even only charge you if your game is SUCCESSFUL. Not Roblox. They are greedy, and have successfully created a vacuum for the wealthy to thrive. Because on top of charging you 75% of your total revenue, they also charge you for advertising on their platform.
I recommend using anything else.
Unity.
Unreal.
Core.
Fortnite Creative.
Any other option is better to put your child on to have fun and learn to build a career in game development than Roblox.
The executives at Roblox need to be put in jail, but taking advantage of children is just kinda part of our entire economic system, so justice will probably never be served, and they'll never see how wrong their actions are through the money their making profiting from their greed.
Tip for consumers:
Don't let your children play this game.

So roblox is an online game where players meet and greet and it is pretty fun. But also to let you know that scammers and hackers are everywhere some are tricking people for Robux and some crap like that. They say confirm your acount so when you put your account in well guess what?! The scammers become hackers and hack your acccount it is like they STAB YOU IN THE HEART AND BLOOD IS EVERYWHER OH MY GOD WHY?! But no blood or gore or anything so it is perfectly fine, but be careful your account may be hacked.

This so-called "game" is burdensome, contradictory, and elusive to play. Disconnection is an inevitable phenomenon. For years, it's been unequivocal depravity. There are so many plagiarized games and straight-up duplicates of games and clothing from other platforms with no slight fraction of artistry whatsoever. It is amongst the most rebarbative and astonishingly Mammonistic games that are available right now. The platform is full of hacktivists, incendiary provocateurs that harass and ridicule innocent and immaculate people and as well execute insurrectionary raids, and administrators who do very little to acquiesce to these critiques.
I've been playing the game for a solid eight years, adjacent to a decade and for much of those years, the platform was saturated with unadulterated mediocrity. Overall, the game is a platform for exploiting children's entrepreneurial spirit, with no professional performance management for practically any activities if they can avoid it, and as well provides a Black Market. The platform has evolved over the years to investigate methodologies to incentivize purchases while deleting anachronistic functionalities such as an irreversible transactional historiography for their virtual currency and enabling customers to cancel transactions of apparel and game passes. There have been so many extortionists throughout the experience that it appears to be their priority rather than delivering any solutions. It's very pitiful. If you're frantically searching the internet for a fun gaming experience, this is not the game for you.

So, there is this roblox game called "Rogue Lineage" and it's super hard with permadeath mechanics and they ignored the fact that rogue lineage received more votes than adventure up, and they got killed by a freshspawn (noob) so they actually went ahead and made adventure up win, cause it's easier what $#*!ing simps, In my conclusion he roblox admins are biased, they banned someone permanently on all their ips cause they pointed out one of the roblox admins on their OFFICIAL ADMIN ACCOUNTS were following an nsfw page, see how biased they are now?

My recent encounters with Roblox's support system have left me disheartened and frustrated. As a dedicated user, I've been facing ongoing issues with my voice chat functionality, and the lack of effective support has only exacerbated my concerns.
Despite reaching out for assistance, I've been met with automated responses that seem to overlook the complexity and urgency of the issues I'm facing. The responses lack the personal touch and genuine understanding that I expected from a platform that values its user community.
One recent interaction with Margarita stands out, where I was told that they are "unable to provide any further information or response." This response not only feels dismissive but also leaves me with a sense of helplessness, as if my concerns are unimportant and unheard.
Roblox's support team's inability or unwillingness to delve into the specifics of my issues has made me question the level of care and accountability the platform has for its users. As someone who has invested time, effort, and money into Roblox, I expected a higher standard of support.
The platform's promises of community and enjoyment stand in stark contrast to the frustrating interactions I've had. It's disappointing to see such a gap between words and actions.
I believe that Roblox can do better. A more transparent, communicative, and empathetic approach to user concerns is crucial to maintaining the trust and loyalty of its users.
I hope that my feedback serves as a reminder that meaningful support is a cornerstone of a positive user experience. I urge Roblox to take these concerns seriously and reevaluate the support system to better serve its community.
