Roblox is one of the biggest games in the world, commanding millions of players. But Roblox isn’t just a game, it’s a game creation tool, a social space, an environment ripe for parody, and much more. Roblox allows users and even small development teams to create and profit from their own games. Though it’s true that only a limited few developers manage to make a decent amount of money from Roblox, even if you’re not a creator there are plenty of games to enjoy both for free, and for a small investment of Robux.
Below you’ll find ten of the best games that you can play in Roblox, and a brief description of what you can expect for each. If you’re easing into Roblox yourself, or you’re helping a younger player, this is a good place to start.
Adopt Me!
Adopt Me is a Roblox game originally developed by just two people, now a fully-fledged studio with more than 30 employees. It was created so players could form families with friends, as either parents or children. Now the game’s main feature is adopting pets, allowing you to buy a house, decorate it, and make it a comfortable living space for you and your pet.
Anime Fighters Simulator
This one does exactly what it says on the tin. Anime Fighters Simulator allows you to fight like an anime character. Floating, massive attacks, special effects, and yes, caricatures of your favorite anime characters. There are dozens of abilities, items, characters and customizations to choose from, allowing you to craft the anime character of your dreams. This is the best Roblox game for budding anime fans.
Squid Game
Netflix’s hit Squid Game show has already been parodied and replicated into oblivion, so of course, there is a Roblox version to play through yourself. Squid Game‘s game show formula fits into the format of a Roblox creation perfectly and makes for a good way to experience the show’s tension for yourself. With less threat of death, of course. Maybe not one for the kids, but fun for anyone old enough to actually watch the show.
PUBG
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or PUBG, became a household name very quickly and defined a wave of battle royale games. So yes, of course you can play PUBG in Roblox. Find the PUBG game type, and you’ll be able to strap yourself with weapons and fight against dozens of other players across a large island map. If you want some quick shooting action, this should be your first choice.
Brookhaven
After all that shooting in PUBG, you need something to help you relax, right? Brookhaven RP is a role-play game that allows you to relax with friends and other players, settle in at home, chat with others, visit shops, go on dates, you name it. Brookhaven has everything you need for a more relaxed change of pace.
Work at a Pizza Place
Work at a Pizza Place is, as the name implies, supposed to be a game where you work at a pizza place. Let us know if this is too much to take in. You can create pizzas – roll out the dough, spread the sauce, add the cheese, throw it in the oven – you know how this works. You can also man the register and sell those pizzas to customers. Or you can act as a manager, and cause all manner of chaos for your employees – the choice is yours!
Super Hero Tycoon
Super Hero Tycoon allows you to get cash, weapons and superpowers while dressed as your favorite superheroes. You can fight with your friends using super abilities, or you can just pick up a gun and shoot them – that’s equally effective as it turns out. Super Hero Tycoon is chaos, but with a few close friends and voice chat there’s a lot of fun to be had.
Gacha Online
Gacha Online is an updated version of an older game, Gacha Life. You can pick your own adorable anime character to explore as, and go through multiple detailed environments. Gacha Online is basically a cuter version of Adopt Me, with just as many cute pets to collect and take care of.
Shindo Life
Shindo Life is, essentially, a Naruto adventure. You run around as ninja in costumes that will be very familiar to fans of the anime, and blast opponents with flashy special attacks. Ticks all of the boxes, right? You can go through some surprisingly detailed and action-packed missions in Shindo Life, which makes it one of Roblox‘s best games for weebs, right alongside Anime Fighters Simulator.
Jailbreak
Jailbreak is a game where you break out of jail. Good thing most of these names are pretty descriptive. You start in prison and eventually have to make your way out, perhaps with a co-op partner or several. Once you make it outside of the prison, the game is only just beginning, as you’re then tasked with finding a car, traversing the surprisingly large world, taking part in heists, and then getting paid for them. Jailbreak is easily one of the more thoroughly thought out games present in Roblox and is a good way to get into the game.
