    As a 2012-2013 ROBLOX player, I know that most people outright despise this game. It is not as good as the PC version, but the controls work fine enough. The selection of games when it was available on launch were a mixed bag. But instead of emailing ROBLOX to get your game on Xbox One's bag, you can do it automatically.

What really kills it is two main factors: Voice Chat and no search bar (and the Xbox Live Gold requirement, but that's more or less Microsoft's fault and not ROBLOX's).
    It's not awful by any means, but it could use a bit of fine tuning.    … Expand

    Roblox is a very creative game i really like it how you can have admin. You can play on ipad or tablet if you prefer but it is pretty laggy though. Roblox is a mini game based game. My favourite part of Roblox is that the avatars are cubical. I extremely recommend it on Xbox.

    ROBLOX on the Xbox One is like a Plug and play console. You get a variety of games, but they're ALL bootlegs of something popular.

    It is also something to consider that the games that managed to make their way on to the Xbox One are all games made and programmed by members of the ROBLOX community. The game also supports game creators by allowing them to cash out the virtual currency, ROBUX for real money. With the ones at the top of the chain making around 100, 000 USD a year. However, the Xbox One version lacks the above, with no way for kids to even create or play their games. Making it just a small and bare boned version of the PC version.    … Expand

    I decided today to play some Roblox on the Xbox One. The games on the Roblox Xbox One version were quite enjoyable.

    My experience with Roblox on the Xbox One was boring to fun. I didn't run into any bugs or technical problems, like all the other reviews are stating. Though, there are downsides to the console such as only about 15 games to play (compared to the thousands on PC), and how dull the game play gets when you've found that one and only one special game that remains fun.

    While I usually enjoy ROBLOX throughout the past 4 years (I joined in 2011), ROBLOX easily loses its taste of quality playtime after playing it for way too long. I hate the awful community and usually flame on Awkward and ROBLOX High School a lot. ROBLOX has easily one of the best sales I've ever experienced... the sponsors are lazily made. It just takes you at least less than an hour to find the item. Even though ROBLOX is a copy of Legos only online mode, it has one of the best ideas. Catalog makes you want to buy money to get something you want. Hey, at least buy hats... buy gears... buy packages. Heck, even customize your own avatar after buying a few things at the catalog! Site feels like a Facebook rip-off. Your friends can possibly make up for the awful community. Be anything... build anything. The creativity is out of this world! Some sponsors chosen are bad, some are good. The events way before developers took the spot were excellent. Egg Hunts are one of the most hyped ROBLOX events ever. Moderation is kinda silly on one point and you'll possibly come back to ROBLOX any day from now. I'm a forumer and foruming is my life. Overall, ROBLOX is something you would want to start having fun all you want... but there's some things that you want to simply ignore to have fun from it. You expected me to give this a 10? I sure wish I did... but this game feels more mixed than positive.

    BONUS FOR XBOX ONE VERSION: Since ROBLOX just got released on Xbox One recently and the user score is lying negatively, it's my time to raise it with a mixed review which it hardly raises anyways. No, I can't trust the user score. Look at Street Fighter V for example. You can't take away my opinion and even if you do, you won't even win anyways. My opinion is my opinion. Stay entitled to it. The only reason why I didn't want to review this game I've been playing for years is because these awful people just can't face these facts to stay away from the game if they hate it so much. But hey, it's Metacritic and in Metacritic, everyone's a critic. Since ROBLOX just got released on Xbox One, guess where the score is going to lay on... that's right. A 6 out of 10. So far, if you don't include the bonus for only the Xbox One version, this entire review is supposed to go on the PC version but I felt like a Xbox One version would do it just in case.    … Expand

    The pc version is fun and it has so much variety and is way better than minecraft! When I heard it was going on XONE I wasn't too excited but when I played it the controls were mediocre and the game selection are games that only have one purpose. I would give it a 3 but I do think it will get better but right now it's mediocre.

    The Xbox port probably shouldn't have happened. Roblox was definitely designed for PC, so the controls are a little rustier than they should be.

This was worse when the port was first added and some games were uplayabled because they didn't emulate their game for an Xbox controller, but now with a more popular demand, MANY Roblox games support the Xbox controller completely, but they aren't always too polished. It isn't really fair as the console and the PC can play together, and in first-person shooter games on Roblox (If you didn't know Roblox is an online game where there are multiple mini-games inside the whole website and you can choose a server to join, most of the time with other live players) there's a major PC advantage with FPS and quicker reactions on mouse and keyboard. So Roblox isn't so bad, but was it really meant for Xbox? It's playable, but you'll get the full Roblox experience on a PC. (You'll notice some of the reviews below are older and were more of a critique because at that time there wasn't hardly many games that were compatible with PC and Xbox alike.)… Expand

    You are better off getting a PC or even a mobile phone or IPad.
    This is just awful. Sure you get free costumes but you lose so many main aspects of what you usually get. It’s just really bad. If you had Xbox live and wanted this game, think twice. Spare yourself from this cursed game. You shouldn’t do this. Plus, a small percent of games have Xbox support. It’s just ****

    Roblox in general is very overwhelming. Roblox never listens to their community, there are no good games to play on the explore page, and most of the games are basically simulators with loot boxes.

    -There are some decent games out there with tons of different genres

    -Roblox can get addicting sometimes

    -making events that give out free accessory items

    CONS:
    -Too many simulator games that try to steal people's money through loot boxes

    -Poor moderation system; everyone gets banned for some stupid reason

    -Poor Roblox algorithm. People spend hours on games for it to not get popular, and then spend tons of money on sponsor ads just to get 50-100 people playing with a chance of not getting profit.

    -Roblox never does anything to get rid of exploiters in games

    This is a review for every platform.

    When I was younger, I loved Roblox. I now cannot enjoy a game, made of games made almost entirely by small children.
