Roblox, one of the most popular online gaming platforms that came out on September 1st, 2006, has captured the attention of millions around the world, especially younger audiences. With its vast range of games and social experiences, Roblox provides players with creative outlets and social interactions, many games such as Bloxburg, horror games, epic mini games, multiple obbies and many others. But how do the players themselves feel about their use of the platform? I interviewed several Roblox players to find out their opinions on the future of the game, its current features, and what they hope will change.
For some players, Roblox feels like a fun phase, but not something they expect to continue playing into adulthood. “I don’t think I’m going to be playing it when I get older because I feel like I’m going to start growing out of it,” said Janail Bullock. This sentiment reflects the experience many young gamers face as their tastes evolve over time.
Even with its many features, Roblox isn’t perfect. One frustration shared by players is the platform’s voice chat system. “I absolutely hate how Roblox takes my voice chat away when I’m literally saying nothing bad. They could definitely improve their system,” said Elizabeth Martinez, highlighting the need for better moderation and more transparent guidelines.
Playing Roblox isn’t just about fun, it also has practical benefits. “I believe it’s probably improved my typing skills,” said Bullock, pointing out how the game can enhance certain abilities through regular use and interaction.
When it comes to gameplay, Roblox offers a wide variety of experiences. Some players gravitate toward games that allow for creativity and socialization. Lisa Dath shared her love for ‘Dress to Impress’ and ‘Club Roblox’, stating, “I really love how you can design your own outfit in Dress to Impress, and it’s fun to play with friends.”
For Club Roblox, the appeal lies in the ability to decorate and role-play, showcasing how Roblox can also serve as a space for creative expression. “For Club Roblox I like how I can design and decorate your house and role playing characters in the game,” said Dath.
For many, the experience of Roblox varies depending on whether they’re playing solo or with friends. “It depends. Sometimes when my friends are busy, I play by myself, but if they’re free, we call and play together,” explained Lisa Dath. This highlights the social nature of the platform, where the company of friends often enhances the gaming experience.
Roblox’s social features can be a mixed bag, “I’m not sure, sometimes people can be a bit odd in their interactions,” said Gisselle, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of online interactions within the game. This underscores the challenge of navigating social spaces in online communities.
Although these interviews give us a glimpse into the Roblox community, the platform has much more to offer. With its user-generated content, Roblox continues to evolve, providing both challenges and entertainment to its players. Whether players stick with it long-term or outgrow it, the impact Roblox has on creative gaming is undeniable.

I haven’t played Roblox recently but I do remember my favorite game being Bloxburg!

I don’t play Roblox but I heard from others that its a fun pastime, and I sometimes enjoy watching a few videos of other people playing it.

I don’t play Roblox like that anymore but it’s a really fun app to go on when you’re bored, but when I do play Roblox I like to play horror games with my friends.

Roblox is a great game. It has things for everyone, no matter what type of games you like to play.

I don’t play Roblox but it seems like a lot of people enjoy or enjoyed playing it.

If I had to pick my favorite roblox game I would say it’s epic mini games because it has a variety of games that come up in rounds and I don’t know it’s a really fun game to play for me.

With Roblox i played it a lot when i was younger but really felt the game was just not it for me anymore. I had many fun memories playing and spent money just for the Robux currency.

Roblox was a back and forth type of thing for me throughout my childhood but I play it more often for fun now. I do agree with the voice chat problems because they misinterpret words a lot.

I love and appreciate Roblox with all my love and appreciation. I’ve been an absolute fiend for certain games on Roblox right now like Deepwoken, Devas of Creation, and Fallen Survival. Roblox has been with me ever since I was 5 and I’ve basically been growing up with it because of the numerous amount of games it has for all audiences. Even though Roblox it self is amazing and truly the peak of imagination there is 100% many flaws with it whether it be it’s moderation team, the community itself and some horrible games that are brain rotting the newer generations (Blox Fruits)

roblox is one of the four games I play(the others being geometry dash, path of titans, and/or minecraft) which means its a big part of my life. I enjoy playing games on Roblox as they are always different from one another, additionally there’s games that are very obscure but very fun such as terra or evolve. I do think they could improve by just removing 5-12 off the platform as it seems there’s barely any games for 13 below and protection for them from inappropriate people or content isn’t very high from Roblox as Roblox is focusing on their teenagers and young adults which is why them removing 5-12 would remove these problems as they aren’t mature enough to see that type of stuff, mind you most of Roblox is player base are teenagers so this wouldn’t be a big affect if they do remove 5-12.

Roblox was a huge part of my life at some point and is still a great platform. The platform was a great place for friends and I to pass time, especially during the pandemic. I feel as if it allowed for a variety of games and allowed for people to be able to express themselves in numerous ways, finding the things they like and even being able to create their own experiences. Unfortunately, my account was hacked and all my valuables were taken, so I no longer play. I feel as if the platform really needs to focus on their player base and help those hacked or facing unreasonable punishment instead of focusing on random collabs or unnecessary updates. If I wasn’t hacked, I would totally still play and recommend the platform, but even if I no longer play, I can thank the platform for such great and fun memories.

I really really really like Flood Escape 2. I know it’s a fairly old game but the fast gameplay, the great music, everything about it is just so extremely fun for me. I really like the map ‘Sinking Ship’ because the music matches the intensity of the level and to this day, the fast water rising up then turning into lava adds a new level of intensity and makes the player play their best. Though, the events could be better. The hunt, the classic, and the games event had a lot of games but most of the developers for those games just added new quests and nothing else. It was mostly the sport games that didn’t put much effort into the event. And don’t get me started on how you have to pay just to have more items in the event. Roblox has made new bundles and accessories that are way too expensive. If I remember correctly one cost about 100,000 robux or more! Though, the game doors have qualified being in the hunt event and it was probably the best looking event game I have ever seen. The fast paced, unnerving, dark environment keeps the player on the edge of their seat and I’m so happy that floor 2 has come out. However, I don’t like the fact that they added simulators to the event because it’s really time consuming and gets boring extremely quickly. I think the people at Roblox should play the game first before adding it to the event because some of them are unbearable to play. Also I do not find the appeal of anime games on Roblox. All of them are mostly about fighting which doesn’t really get my interest. Horror games for me are really enjoyable because it keeps me on the edge of my seat and you never know what will happen!

I think Roblox is pretty fun. I definitely don’t play it as much as I did when I was younger, but sometimes my friends make me play it with them. I never have used voice chat, so I don’t really understand it too much.
Madeline Maltez • Sep 23, 2024 at 10:44 am
I love playing Roblox with my friends whenever I’m bored. I also hate how sensitive the voice chat is. I got suspended a couple of times for not saying anything bad. I also find that Roblox horror games are scarier than actual budgeted horror games on the internet.
Elise • Sep 20, 2024 at 1:30 pm
I totally agree with Elizabeth. As quickly as I turn on voice chat, I get it taken away for no reason. My favorite Roblox games are Baddies, Dress to impress, and horror games like the Mimic or night shift. I also definitely think Roblox is better to play with friends. It gets boring, so now I always call with my friends.
