Game demo

The testers' opinion

Roblox is a creation and programming game similar to Lego or Minecraft. It allows you to create your own games and play titles created by other players. Very popular with children for the wide variety of games it offers and allows them to create, Roblox has its good and bad points. While it is possible to play a huge number of very varied creations (sports, role-playing, action, etc.), most of them are of fairly mediocre quality and only a few are worth checking out. In addition, you need to be careful because there are many purchases for real money on offer in Roblox.

In brief

Points to watch out for

Integrated Purchasing : Although Roblox is free, it is still possible to purchase cosmetic items for your character or objects with real money.

Online interactions If the player decides to join a game with other people, it is possible to interact with the other players.

Violence and Fear : Although primarily intended for children and teenagers, Roblox may contain horror or violent games, as it allows players to create whatever they want.

Benefits for the player

Imagination Since it is possible to create your own game, Roblox draws on the imagination of players to create the most diverse experiences possible.

Friendliness As Roblox is not strictly speaking a game, it is also possible to log in simply to meet up with friends and spend time together without having to play.
