Roblox ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Roblox is a free-to-play online multiplayer game. The same bears a resemblance to Minecraft, although the characters remember the famous game of arming LEGO. They launched the game in 2006 and currently has more than 64 million users.

Roblox is nothing more than a game; it is a complete universe of games, an online platform that hosts hundreds of titles, many of them the users generated them. Its other peculiarity is that it is intended, built and maintained for children; although everyone can play, most of their users are between 8 and 12 years old.

How is the game Roblox Inside?

After the download, you register to create an account. First, they only ask you to make a nickname, a password and a date of birth. The latter will influence content permissions, but it is 100% declarative. That is, the child should be accompanied or not lie, so that effectively have child permissions.

After you create your avatar and customize it to your liking, you give a small property in the universe of Roblox and a toolbox to store the objects you acquire. The idea from here is that you start to enter worlds, the “games within the game,” or that you create your own.

 

They can create the worlds with pieces of different sizes and materials, such as LEGO, and they can share these with other users. That is, within the game, there are many games or “worlds” created by players manually.

As the tools are similar, the environments of each one can be similar, but the experiences they report are different. Thus, you can find a game of dodging rivers in a desert, an expedition in a cave or a castle with a monster that chases you. The options are almost unlimited.

Robux, the support of Roblox to amplify the experience in the game

While the application is free, there are paid subscription offers to improve the experience. These include premium avatar updates, creating groups, being able to sell objects or exchange them and the elimination of ads, among other advantages. There is also a currency in the application, called “Robux,” which is acquired mainly through purchase with real money.

The Robux allows you to acquire better personalizations, individual themed clothing packs, purchase various construction materials and tools, and obtain special skills for the avatar.

In theory, Roblox is designed to be a complete and safe place for children to congregate, play and communicate with each other. It focuses on creativity and construction, while “fostering community among its players.”

The co-founders of the platform conceived from the moment of the creation of this game that Roblox would be educational software because children can use the tools to imagine and create all kinds of immersive experiences. The youngest can begin to play with their first notions of programming to adapt the functions of each piece when they build worlds.

Its developers say it is an educational platform based on the theory of “constructionism,” which holds that children learn best in active design and construction roles and that this learning accelerates in public communities.

However, you can notice that if you look with the eyes of an adult, some settings can be a bit disappointing. As expansive as the game options are, and as beautiful as some screenshots scattered across the network, the developers of this platform range from very young children to adults of 20 years old, which is a broad dimension of skills and talent.

The “recommended” games are the best and indisputably good, but if you look more thoroughly in all the created titles, you discover that there is another great majority generated by the community of children and teenagers smaller, which creates evident quality differences. In general, you can see the bulk of the games as “very amateur,” and they are eclipsed by those who make the most talented and delivered.

Is not anyone going to think about children?

A natural concern in an application that openly addresses children is safety. As the goal of Roblox is for players to interact and make friends, and this is achieved by walking the world online and stopping to talk to other players within a chat function, it is a little complicated to have total control over this issue.

At Roblox, there are currently more than 40 million games (worlds) online within the game, and more than three million active developers are creating more. Only in 2017, they add more than eleven million games. On the other hand, almost half of American children between 9 and 12 years of age actively use it, according to company data.

To combat the risks, they offer a couple of levels of security: for all players, Roblox actively monitors all the chats of all the worlds for inappropriate content or behavior. And for players under 13, there are additional restrictions on who can contact them.

You are ready to immerse yourself in this fascinating game, follow the rules and rules that the platform offers you so that the fun is complete.
