The first thing you see when you log onto Roblox is the Front page, the front page of any social platform or gaming platform are the best, most liked games, right? No. Many of the games on the Roblox front page are very similar in concept and all play the same, the 'Anime' Games seem to be growing in popularity even though almost of the games all play the same and I couldn't tell you which onw of them I was playing due to the fact the are basically the same!
Although I couldn't blame Roblox for recommending such bland games, because it is more heavily geared towards children, and that's mainly the reason that the community of Roblox is so awful.
Not to say that some of the games on the front page are unique and fun to play, but they are usually rare to see.
Now, the 'Simulators' are basically all the same game. Do Something mundane and uninteresting, sell what you get for doing that boring task, upgrade your storage, rinse and repeat.
If you really want to find the actually fun, interesting games on Roblox, you'll have to look further into the website.
The Updates. The Updates have been mostly awful for quite a long time. The Removal of TIX Was an obvious move by Roblox to earn more money, you could earn TIX by logging in, selling shirts on the catalogue, or if somebody joined your place. You could use these TIX to by cosmetics for your avatar in the Catalogue, recently renamed to the 'Avatar Shop' or you could trade them in for the more Premium Currency of the Website, Robux. By Removing TIX, the ONLY way you could earn any type of currency on the Website was by either buying it with real money or, Once again, Buying Builder's Club with, Yep Real Money. This Reduced the actual incentive to make a game to play with your friends or just to meet strangers and have fun. The only way you could earn money on your Roblox game was to ham fist some Gamepasses which cost Robux into your game. Games like 'Adopt Me!' Have so many gamepasses that your ENTIRE screen gets flooded with pop ups asking for you to 'Buy this limited time only starter pack!' 'Buy this mansion and sports car!' 'Have this HUGE house for only 800 Robux! (Roughly translates into around 8 Dollars)' Also, recently Roblox has been Tweaking the website layout by adding new tabs recommending games. They are useless! One of the new tabs was 'Popular Among Premium' Oh yeah, Roblox also removed Builders club and replaced it with 'Premium' It's nowhere near as nice as the Former Builders Club and unlike builders club, which had 3 Options, The basic Option, Earn some Robux per month, nothing major, create Groups, Able to join more Groups, Make shirts to sell on the catalogue and get a nice Builders Club hat and Badge next to your name, The Intermediate Option All the features of the previous but better, And the Greatest option, Quite expensive but that's fine because it allows you to do everything (and More) That the Two Previous options could do but so, so, so much better. Roblox Replaced it with 'Premium' With only a single option. No catchy name, a bland badge next to your nametag, basically all the options that the previous builders club had except, now making Groups and shirts Cost Robux. It's not ALL bad though because now everybody, even regular players can join as many groups as they want. But they don't always release totally awful updates, some have been good, but perhaps it's the recent lack of decently sized updates that is hurting the most. The only thing that Roblox has really done recently is release a graphics showcase game where there's some nice graphics, but that's just about it apart from some minor tweaks and adjustments.
So, in conclusion, is Roblox a bad game? No, it's not a bad game. I say the Community is awful, but that's mainly in the garbage front page games. In the lesser known and more creative and unique games, the Community is much better and some games are genuinely really fun to play. The pure variety of the games on Roblox is shown when you look past the Front page. RTS Games, FPS Games, RP Games, RPG Games any type of game you can think of, it's on Roblox. With varying quality of course.
