    I was shocked to hear Roblox was coming to XBOX ONE, mainly because so many of the games created with Roblox would have a hard time with the transition.

    I was right to be a bit concerned.
    While there are some pretty great games in this package (Framed is my favorite of the bunch), there's not so many games here. While I can understand the reasons for limiting the games to a specific number (the dev. actually has to update the game to actually WORK on XBOX), the starting number of these games is very limited, and, in total, kind of a disappointment.

    One of the biggest flaws with Roblox on Xbox is that the games are buggy.
    This, in general, isn't too much on an issue since these games on PC have always been just as buggy, but even then, it's still not inexcusable.

    Personally, my biggest flaw with this is not something that I've heard allot of people talk about:
    these games were NEVER meant to be ported onto somewhere else other than PC, and it shows!
    The UI, while slightly acceptable on PC by a slim chance, is a bit clunky, and takes up a fair amount of the screen space where other things, put in place by the developers of these games, are either hard to see or are out of sight completely. While a few of these games do sort of work with a Gamepad (Framed, again, and Speed Run 4, just to name a couple), allot of them really don't (Phantom Forces is a MASSIVE example of this! It's overly sensitive no matter what your settings are, and does not keep your progress from the PC version, making for an inferior version all around).

    Another massive flaw that nobody talks about is one that isn't a criticism of the game itself, but rather, a criticism of everything that surrounds the game: it's a real pain to even get working. While it is a common issue with Xbox users to not be able to play their digital games or watch their movies, this is... something else. The ONLY way I got this working was by blindly messing with my console settings, consistently installing and uninstalling the application from my hard-drive, and resetting the console to a tiring point.
    Many people on the forums have been having this issue, but for now, there is no real statement on this issue.

    Overall, would I recommend Roblox on Xbox? Mayyybe? A few games work well with the transition, but many of them just don't. There are a small amount of packaged games, and they're all overly buggy, and, to top it off, it's a real pain to get working in the first place. I know I might be coming back to it for the great games, but they'll always be 10 times better on what they were originally intended to be played on: the PC.    … Expand

    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.

    Roblox on PC will appeal to anyone, providing a fun and addictive experience. The lack of games and the feel of being an uncompleted game will not attract Roblox fans of the PC. The slow and buggy experience isn't fit for console.

    This game is just bad, the Xbox One version being even worse. Very featureless, lack of actual original games and really just terrible in general. The development of this game was clearly not bothered with, probably took the source code from the PC and did nothing else. Do not bother downloading this failure and waste of time of a game.

    Roblox was originally a PC game, soon expanding to Android and iOS. Recently they have decided to move to the console side, which is just an all around disaster. The controls are horrible, the games are very few, it's extremely buggy, and everyones "favorite" thing is here too, micro transactions.
    Tl;dr: Just no.

    + 6 Free player packages
    + Able to use microsoft account for R$ purchases.

    - The avatar customization in this version is awful, use the one on the website.
    - No sensitivity adjuster
    - Game line-up is awful. Who thought Hide and Seek would do good on a console?
    - The 6 free packages are crap.
    - Can't buy BC/TBC/OBC with microsoft account.
    - You can't use R$ earned from the website on the Xbox One version. (The only things you can buy in this version are microtransactions and packages)
    - Data from games on the website don't transfer. Not that bad, but still.
    - Plugging in an XBOX controller on the PC version seems better, and there's more to do.
    - Phantom Forces, one of ROBLOX's most popular games, has a screenshot on the game's Xbox page. Except it isn't even released on ROBLOX for Xbox yet. This is false advertising, and it was one of the reasons I thought it would be good.
    - R$ prices aren't adjusted for BC users. You get 450 R$ if you have BC+, but it only says 400 R$ for the microtransaction even if you have BC.
    - Sound is extremely bugged, and I couldn't hear anything while playing.

    What ROBLOX games does this need?
    = HEX Arena Shooter
    = Actual Phantom Forces
    = Mad Paintball
    = ROBLOX Battle
    = Build mode support. It's very basic, just the stamper tools. You can already select GUIs, so it should work.
    = Apocalypse Rising
    = Heist
    = Twisted Murder or Mad Murderer
    = Bloodfest

    If this was an early alpha, it would make more sense. They even delayed the game, and we still get this.    … 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.

    Basically the concept is stupid, the only positive is that you don't have to pay to play the games. But most of them are kind of rough/bad rip offs of other games. The game design itself was lack luster. There's just no polish at all and most of them have literally no sound what so ever. I found ROBUX to be the pay-2-play to style which you can use R$ to 'buy' in game benefits (only in some games!)

    overall I was disappointed.    … Expand

    Roblox is always a game I go to when I need a laugh. The game is very casual (mostly), and usually games have a bunch of funny stuff that'll make you happy after some annoying match you just played in a previous game. This is based off PC, Xbox I heard is buggy and not as good.

    This game is getting a lot of undeserved bad rep. Sure, it's NOWHERE close to the features on desktop, but it's Xbox One. No one's going to make a game on ROBLOX for Xbox One (could you imagine even attempting to do that?), and very few people are willing to basically re-code their entire game just so people can play it Xbox One, hence the reason why there's only 14 games.
