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.
Roblox used to be a simple building game. What has it become? A playground for online daters and bullies. Sure roblox has amazing games and it powers imagination. HOwever, its the players that make it worse. Roblox is now swarming with online daters, and bullies are making the game a lot worse. Moderators don't even read or review the chat logs, and nothing stops cyberbullying now. Additionally, online daters are everywhere. KIDS are playing these games. What happened to Roblox? And additionally, there are a lot of scam bots too.

I was hacked two times and told Roblox about it and all they did was send me two emails each time saying that they could not help me. The second time I was hacked everything was deleted from my inventory. Which meant all the robux I had bought was for nothing. I had watched a couple videos of account restoration, so I set to work screenshotting everything I purchased and going over it a bunch of times then sent it an email. Then 7 days later I get an email saying they cant help me, even after the previous email they sent me saying they could. They said they had no account restoration even though they did. Total scam don't ever depend on roblox to help you after getting hacked. This whole experience allowed me to learn how terrible roblox's customer service truly is.

I really love to play roblox. It entertains me in the world of the entertaining world. I play royale high the most. It gives me the gaming entertainment the more i play. The more fun it gets. The only problem is my numbers and you mostly need robux. But i don't hate it. I still like to play this game.

The game was fun during 2014-2018 but after that point of was just filled with online daters and children becoming furries. Toxicity has taken over Roblox kids minds. Just not the same.
Sadly, I still play this game with friends. It's only fun with friends at this point.

This game often has bad parts of it, But really, sometimes, theres good parts. Of course people would think its weird, but I guess memes are cool. And people get inspired to create games or become a youtuber here. But, if you are reading this to think if you should play roblox. Heres some games you shouldn't play, heres the list, don't play meepcity, adopt me, life in paradise. And if somebody is bypassing the chat system with bad words, you can report or leave. Theres not a lot you can do. But, you can leave. And the picture below is me being eaten by a dinosoar. I thought it was funny, so I posted it here. I hope you liked this review, bye.

It's the worst game for kids I had my son get bullied on this game and his account hacked into it and I wrote roblox an email and the child that had done all the bad thing to my son and other kids is still playing on his account like he didn't do anything I had asked roblox to cancel that kid account but didn't take action yet while my kid is being bullied and can't play on his account so roblox don't take actions and they don't protect there players

I seen some of these are about the sexual and violent content. Yes, that is true but it's not everything in ROBLOX that is like that. Sexual content is not allowed on ROBLOX for which this is not allowed so you shouldn't see this content often. Violent content, you can find in some games but a lot do not have violence. ROBLOX is a platform, not just one game. The users create the games as most games are mostly from the creators for the game. Violent or sexual content does not bother me. But I see how it may not be the best thing for younger children which do play this game.

Holy mother of God. This is the coolest game EVER! For those people "complaining" or "thinking" that this site is bad? Well, *chuckles* you're wrong buddy. People putting really bad reviews like for example rating this awesome game a 1 STAR?! I mean c'mon! The people putting bad reviews on this site think that "Minecraft" is better. I mean, is there like rewards for doing such a thing in Minecraft?! Besides, there are these really cool events in roblox that you participate in. (but you can choose not to) They are so cool you can avatar items for doing events! This game is really AWESOME and you should go play it. You can play this on PCs, Android Phones, iPhones and Tablet. I play this game and record my gameplay on Twitch to share with and people love my gameplay! I mean, people think that ROBLOX is bad, and I don't agree with them, but some people do and that's okay. Hmm? What did you say? Lets play some ROBLOX!

I thought it was a good game until I typed my password and I couldn't get in. I had an email I used when I first got the account and logged out. I used the email, and this horrible game didn't even show me my username, and it showed me accounts I didn't even have.

Roblox is a great MMO or game, depending of what you do on it. There alot of games you can play. There might be a game for you on the site. It's easy making games. There are templates on the start page, toolbox, and online. It's also easy cause the programming language, Lua, is easy to understand and learn. There's an active community both on forums and games. You can make money of making games. However negativity stuff like sex/porn or bloody games, but do come once and leave. You have to note that game is built on UGC (User Generated Content), so what's gonna happen if you going to let anyone make a game, you going to expect some bad stuff. However, the moderation, while not perfect and small, can do it nicely. I think the only problems is that some updates do ruin and people breaking the rules. However, you can change settings to avoid this, and you can Roblox a better place for all people. It's a great place to play, make, and share games. It's really up to the parent.
Tip for consumers:
If you want more games like this, or you want an alt, if you don't want play Roblox, LittleBigPlanet or Minecraft can do that job as well.

My 9 yr old was on it and was talking to someone who said he was a kid and he turned out to be an adult and sent her sexual messages. As soon as I found out I reported the messages and the profile and sent an email. Nearly a week later nothing had been done. Sent email saying that I would go to media about them refusing to act and got a reply within 5 minutes. Apparently due to dpa they couldn't tell me if they were going to ban the other account. Refused to tell me what the hashtags were hiding said they couldn't unless police asked. I explained at start I had been to police and gave them the police ref number. They then cancelled my daughters account citing that she was the one in the wrong although she didn't understand what the man was sending her. Not too bothered though as she will never go on there again.

This game has been around for a LOOOONG time, and lemme tell ya over the years it's had some ups and downs. It's mainly the community that's a problem, along with trashy events, scammers and more... I'd know because I've played roblox for nearly 3 years. I wouldn't reccommend letting your child play this without keeping watch on what they're playing. Here's some tips if you run into anyone who's disturbing you in a game:
-Just quit the game, they can't follow you.
-Block them.
-You can report them, but some people say it doesn't work so i'd reccommend the option above.
Conclusion: It's OK, just stay safe from others and let your imagination run wild!

I've left 5 stars because many people are mad how they got "scammed." You're not allowed to get free Robux. If you get scammed, it's all on you. Also, moderation is good if you actually report. Rumor has spread saying that reporting doesn't work, even though it does. People just believe dumb Youtubers who are rebelling against Roblox for views. Kids just believe them because that's just what they're like.

I honestly hate the fact u have to buy robux (no other way(legally))
I think you should watch an ad or something or quest and recieve daily robux even if its like 5 because if you had a roblox account as long as i have (about 6 years now) you would remember tickets. All users recieve 10 a day for logging on and you could exchange it for robux-20 tix = 1 robux. They took that away last year so now spoiled childeren are forced to nag their parents (you) for money to do anything that is cool or makes u look cool i think they need to at least bring back roblox of 2010 (best year of roblox)

ROBLOX is a great game there are problems here and there but, mostly good the problem is the sponsored events
The problem with people reviewing this is that they're dumb. Or just plain idiotic (not all of them, but very many)
ROBLOX is not a virus, It's a actual company in California.
The economy is not that great, either is the forums...
You cannot lose any item, and if you lose your account you can use the email you set it up with to get it back.
There is alot of scamming these days.
The currency is optional so stop complaining about that.

As someone who stopped playing roblox from about a month ago. I'd say it's terrible. The community is unbelievably disrespectful. They believe cyber bullying is alright, and it has caused me to lose an insane amount of real life friends. It's mainly pay to play so get ready to have your children begging you constantly for "robux." The games on the site are alright, but they can be VERY laggy and apparently they NEED a computer with i5-CPU. I played from June 2016-October 2020. I'm gladly off the roblox community and I am SO GLAD I'm away from all those toxic people.

I have been playing Roblox for quite a few years and have developed a great experience on it. It is rare to find online daters throughout the Roblox platform, unless you go onto games such as Boys and Girls Dance Club, Meepcity, Life in Paradise, etc., where there are always bound to be an online dater now and then. There is safe chat, algorithms to stop people wearing innapropiate clothing, and more, so Roblox is already trying their best to provide a safe and fun experience. It is also the parent's responsibility to research and supervise their kids so that they won't run into or play any innapropiate content.
