Games that look terrible/generic shovelware but are actually amazing to play.

What exactly is Roblox? I keep hearing about it but i don't understand what it is. Why is there so many genres in Roblox...

It's basically a platform for (free) games. Roblox runs on about everything. To get ahead I had 3 instances running on my laptop, one from the web browser, one from Windows Store and one in Bluestacks, mobile version.

Most of the games are quite simple and aimed at younger kids, yet currently my youngest is playing a flight simulator in Roblox, flying a Boeing around.

"According to recent estimates, Roblox has 380 million monthly active users as of 2024."

Roblox has nearly 3 times the user base as Steam...

"Roblox revenue for the twelve months ending June 30, 2024 was $3.158B, a 29.81% increase year-over-year."

While the games are free, Robux is the currency used for MTX in Roblox. Not all games are free and it's often a pay to win / go faster kinda deal. Praying on the impatience of kids :/ (Instead of paying to go faster, I set up 3 instances lol)

Those are some big ass numbers. I still don't know what it is but I'm gonna assume it's like game maker but easier and less complex with a platform attached, would that be right?
