The reason why these seemingly mundane and poorly constructed games like Club Penguin or others like it gain traction is due to their connectivity. What has to be said in Roblox favour, is that despite its flaws, kids love this game and enjoy having a place to digitally hang out with their pals.

Though, this game fails to meet the mark in all areas sadly. This would be forgivable if the ads were a little more subtle, placed on the menu screens or if the games were even close to a quality that warranted an investment of cash. In some cases these are plastered over the game screen creating a full border encompassing the screen, making the game almost unplayable. The game seems to be fully aware of this status and follows the trend of these mobile games with an obnoxious amount of in-game advertisements and microtransactions. When you get down to brass tax, this game is about as good as a mid-tier mobile game at best. Though, if given the choice I would much rather have far too much to consider than far too little to work with. It offers a cavalcade of options to the point that you can almost get overwhelmed.

Take this year’s smash hit Dreams for example. Something that this game prides and markets itself on. Through the simple presentation and the unrefined engine that community developers have to work with, it offers very little creative freedom. Though, it’s the lack of consistency in each community made games quality that drags the art style down with it. To the game’s credit, it works for them and delivers a cute aesthetic that in some cases is rather charming. The art style is clearly one that has been borrowed and adapted from the globally adored Lego franchise. Though it’s the astoundingly low low-level of quality that really poses the question, why does anyone truly enjoy this title? Building it’s success That and the connectivity you can have with other players on the server. Which is perhaps it’s the biggest appeal. Yet the popularity amongst young children and teenagers has been insurmountable.Īs mentioned, this game has a huge online library of levels and content that can all be accessed for free. This game has never reached store shelves and probably never will. It has never had any release beyond an online website and library. In reality, it is hard to truly view this title as a traditional game.
