Roblox Reviews 5,526

I used to love Roblox. Like genuinely, it was an easy 5 stars for me. I could play, laugh, and actually TALK to people. It felt fun and normal. Now? It’s a 1 star. No question. I can’t even communicate anymore. Every time I try to say something, it either gets filtered, tagged, or just doesn’t send the way I mean it. It’s so frustrating. Like what’s the point of a multiplayer game if I can’t even talk to people properly? I get that it’s for “safety,” but it just feels way too much. It doesn’t feel fun anymore, it feels controlled. I can’t joke, I can’t have normal conversations, I can’t even be myself half the time. Before, Roblox was somewhere I could connect with people and enjoy my time. Now it just feels quiet, restricted, and honestly kinda lonely. Also, what's the point of changing friends to "Connections" if you can't even connect ?.

i saw this kid he looked helpless so i went up to him and he asked for help so i asked what happened and he said he got abused by his mom :) so i report the kid for baiting him mom out like that and ROBLOX banned him for 3 years for harassment well done Roblox ya c,unt

I got banned for no reason just a foreign legion uniform and i got banned

After new update you can’t publish game for under 16 users if you don’t pay this is very bad for developers especially small one like me

The Roblox algorithm gods just push over monetized slop. They have killed all chatting based games by segmenting the player base. They also don't care about pedophiles on a children's platform.

Don't get into it not worth putting up with the horrible updates and management.

These updates are a mess. Yes I get for keeping young children safe but its going too far. Next I have to pay just to make a game public. These updates are going too far, and Roblox doesn't even care because they are making us pay just so they can make their HQ. The age verification is horrible, and I cant even chat to people anymore. Im not buying anything on Roblox till action is taken because this has gone too far. If paying to make games public goes ahead, then im officially off the platform, and im sure millions of other users would do the same. Whats next? I thought Roblox wanted to power imagination not power paywalls. Absolutely ridiculous and horrible experience.

Used to be fun, now just full of RNG and brainrot games. I'm not even sure what David is doing rn. He's riddling the app with useless updates like "makeup" and the age-verification AI thing. I feel like it has turned so badly compared to when I first started playing in 2017. From letting predators on the platform to banning people who keep predators off the platform, Roblox has it all!

As a player since 2017, this platform has gone to crap. Not only do I HAVE to my face nowadays to even just SPEAK - and even then not to much people (which is extremely limiting considering the fact I mostly play multiplayer strategy games), not only do I have to deal with predators that the platform doesn't do much about, but now I have to pay a stupid freaking subscription and send them ID because the oh-so-powerful admins at the top of the company are greedy for small indie dev's hard earned cash. I have based and planned my future career on roblox game development and dreamed about it for 4 years straight and now this. Way to go, David. I will not be using your platform again, despite being my childhood.

I used to absolutely love this platform, but Roblox is making it nearly impossible for new, creative developers to survive. What used to be a place where any kid with a laptop could build a dream has turned into a corporate cash grab that punishes small creators at every turn. The new "Roblox Plus" requirement is the final straw because requiring an active paid subscription just to publish a game for "All Ages" is completely ridiculous. You are basically telling young developers that if they cannot afford a monthly fee, their work does not deserve an audience.

The greed doesn't stop there. The recent clothing updates are a total slap in the face to designers. Forcing people to maintain high-tier Premium memberships just to keep 2D shirts and pants on sale is predatory, especially when your entire shop gets delisted the second your subscription lapses. Even if you manage to scrape together the money for these fees, the algorithm is so broken that it only pushes massive studios with huge marketing budgets anyway.

Unique, independent games are being buried under a sea of low-effort simulators because the "startup cost" to be seen is now too high for the average person. Roblox has clearly forgotten that they built their empire on the backs of hobbyists and kids. They have fenced off the sandbox and started charging for the shovel. It is heartbreaking to see a platform I grew up with become so hostile toward the very people who made it popular. Unless you have a massive budget, do not bother trying to be a creator here anymore. The "Powering Imagination" era is officially dead.

As Roblox have been going downhill, I still enjoyed playing Roblox while it lasted. There is still fun and good games for me to play, and honestly, I'm not bothered by the chat and age update since I don't even talk in chat and I mostly play single player games. I still get that others want to communicate w/ their friends, and etc, but it is what it is since the bad apples had ruined the game and it caused Roblox to add safety for kids. (safety for the little kids i guess) The facial recognition is horrible as you may know and the makeup + other stuff is bad as well. Its a 3 stars because its my own opinion, there is still games that I enjoy playing but it sucks for other games that require chat like possessor.

Ok but games are flashy snd brainrot and +predator fest

Bring back that chat and the classic faces!!!
I like old Roblox.

pros:

underrated games
you can make games
probably everyone's childhood
i like it

cons:

brainrots EVERYWHERE
for every 1 good game, there's A THOUSAND BAD GAMES
MICROTRANSACTIONS EVERYWHERE
OUR MOUTHS ARE ZIPPED SHUT UNTIL WE GIVE OUR SENSITIVE DATA
ROBOTS NOW REPLACE OUR WORDS
RTHRO IS ENCOURAGED
MODERATION SUCKS
AND THEY'RE SHOVING THE AI META DOWN OUR FACES
OUR FACES ARE TAKEN AWAY UNLESS IF WE BUY UGC WITH ROBUX WHICH SCREWS UP F2P PLAYERS
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i still have hope for roblox though, it's still fun

Sincerely, An Oct 25 2020 Player

I have an account I made 12/22/15. A year ago I lost this account's password, I didn't care cause I quit roblox, but a little while ago I attempted to reset my password, and nothing was coming to my email, I even tried to create a new account and link it, and nothing worked. So I contacted roblox customer support, so many times, I gave them my billing address, first purchases, promotional items, ect, I covered 100% of what they need per their standards, and yet every time without fail I've been turned down, I even offer proof of past emails for the account, but they tell me not enough information, I don't think there are any humans in ROBLOX customer support, if there are, it's terrible people are being paid just to send auto generated prompts back. 0/5.

It was Powering Imagination,
Now is not.
Why give us updates that no one asked for.
Let's us talk,
Not to create a Morse code,
Because of Matt Assbrain

DONT PLAY. UPDATES ARE BAD

do not trust them with your id they save it i got my info stolen

My kid had had this account for 6 years it gets hacked and conveniently there's nothing that you can do about it. Meanwhile, they're trying to steal money from his card and your answer to it is to create a new account. There should be some security in place for things like this and there's no way that you are unable to get in contact with a person , not just a chat a person. How are you allowing an email to be changed without verification from the email that is already linked this makes no sense.

Roblox used to be cool, and free, and open. However, now it's locked down, and all the features are behind evil schemes to steal your information or money. The corporation never should have appealed towards children, as it just lead to this. And also, appealing to children is evil. But the worst part is that Roblox shouldn't have had to do this because the parents shouldn't've even downloaded the game in the first place. They should've researched and realized there are like pedophiles on there. It's all pretty sad that Roblox ruined itself just to deal with pedo allegations. They didn't even change it when there were first pedos, there were waiting till people really hated them for it. Like what the heck. Also subscribe to Jaysymmetrical for cool videos.

i dont like the fact that chat age bloking is also having an effect on online roleplaying because it makes it almost impossible to do online roleplaying:|
