If you like playing Lego, Roblox is the perfect game for you. Roblox is a mixture between a mini-game site and a social networking in which players can build and explore Lego-like worlds while enjoying the company of other players. Roblox has no game-goals, but encourages creativity and socialization. The game was developed and published by Roblox Corporation.

It was first released in 2005.The game allows players to construct and develop their own world, but they must learn a scripting language called Lua. For those interested and with enough patience, Roblox represents an interesting game.

There are a few game modes in which players can take part of and have fun. Some require players to move on narrow platforms, jump from platform to platform in order to reach the end, while others allow players to enter arenas where they can kill each other using various weapons such as swords, bombs, bazookas and so on.

Roblox also features chat rooms, where players can just sit and have a conversation, mini-game rooms and tons of different ways to keep players entertained. Like other free-to-play games it comes with premium content that require a subscription.

Roblox is a simple sand-box MMO which focuses on creativity and socialization. Connectivity problems might test the patience of the players, and the graphics may seem a bit too simplistic, but for those looking to have a good, casual gaming time, Roblox will meet their desires.
