okay i had a very big list of games i wanted to talk about on this thread. but i did not do that. however i have been VERY hooked on roblox lately still and i made a very long post on my website talking about it (Roblox and "Authentic Fun"). to prove that i'm not trying to shamelessly shill 300 paragraphs on my fucking website though i can summarize it for you
the waiting room: cute little hangout/exploration game with a lot of little mechanics. has been making me abnormal for a little while. i find it's hard to socialize though because one of the mini-mechanics this game has deliberately messes with your ability to tell what is real
Evade: very typical "survive the nextbots" game. a nextbot is a loud billboarding image (usually a meme) that makes a lot of loud sounds (usually memey). it's stupid fun, each round is like 3 minutes so its easy to jump in/out of
balls.rng: more of a toy than a game. you click on balls with different attributes and sometimes a Very Rare ball spawns that has a bunch of different attributes. 100% random chance based game with no end goal. i have geometric shapes autism though
Breadwinner World: simulator game. not a game i would sincerely recommend because it's a bit "dark patterns", but it does some very strange and unique things that i haven't seen in a roblox game, namely its use of a 100% persistent world where you have to Pay Rent. i find the simulator mechanics of the game feel very tactile
the Repleh County Series: narrative horror series consisting of A Stereotypical Obby, Repleh County Archives, and Repleh County Archives 2. i find them narratively weak, but the latter two's use of environment/sound design and atmosphere really elevates this above a lot of other roblox horror games. they get a bit formulaic though.
Guts & Blackpowder: objective-based cooperative zombie survival game set in the Napoleonic Wars. i find this artistically incredibly impressive with a lot of commitment to the aesthetic and historical aspects. people in this game are always arguing but the arguments they have are kind of funny. only using muskets and swords heavily raises the stakes of things. i find this one really really fun.
