I miss when Roblox games actually had interesting and unique ideas to them. All the old games felt like passion-filled Indie games made by people who just wanted to bring their ideas to life, instead of big corporate games that trick you into gambling and wasting hours of your life for a goal that could not be acheived.

There are some games that aren't like that but its only like less than 10% of the games in the platform sadly.. One of them is Arcane Odyssey a very good game, though the combat is not that good but to advice: the bosses are NOT easy, the First 2 maybe but the others are quite complicated, it has some bugs since it is in early access and this year maybe like September or October the game will become a full release with all of its intended features

Starting from around 1:48 there’s a short clip of the game “Boost Vector” on its map called “Orion”. I’d like to say that although the game looks generic and is also no longer receiving updates, the game could be still fun and the concept is great: Without using vehicles, you could race against other players in (somewhat) speedy action. It does have its own unique system called “bands” which go on the players’ wrist and buying new ones as well as upgrading them (to gain speed and other stats) allows for several playstyles. You should check out the game itself, and the music is pretty cool. Although some have been removed for legal ressons.

Whats crazy is that isn't even the old roblox loading screen, well, it is now but it wasn't back then. I remember the roblox R logo loading screen. Time flies.

Games I play that I recommend to play! :) The Experiment [V7.3] Horrific Housing Zombie Attack Super Doomspire Bear Alpha Zach's Service Station (Or Gas Station Simulator) Write A Letter All of these games are my favorites that I still play today, and most of these games are not toxic, and are still updated today! (I don't know about Bear Alpha) They're all extremely unpopular. The Experiment is a horror waiting game, where you are a Delta Experiment that is trying to escape and figure out the lab around you. (This is my favorite! :D) Horrific Housing is a survival game to play with friends, where you survive on your house and try and kill the others to survive. Zombie Attack is were you fight off hoards of zombies and get the gun that works for you best. Super Doomspire is an upgraded and more fun version of Doomspire Brick battle. Bear Alpha is a survival game where you hide from the bear that tries to catch you. (It also has lore) Zach's Service Station is a simulator game that you can play with up to 12 friends where you build your ever growing gas station, and upgrade yourself to work better. Write a Letter is a hangout game that has little hiding spots, a library, a cabin, a house, an abandoned gas station and a hidden underground ice wonderland. *Enjoy these games as much as you can! All of these games deserve recognition!*

I totally agree with you, roblox has changed. The majority experiences in Roblox is just simulators and cashgrabs that isnt mentally good for underage users. I rarely find games with good pvp mechanics like Black Magic II because my recommendation would get bombarded with repetitive grinding pet autoclicking monstrosity. I would always get up, play ABD with the homies, killing toxic spanish users with the rainbow drip using NTWAU. Now basically every one of my friends are either gone or autoclicking on some random game. Roblox just aint fun no more, I'm still playing roblox just because i cant find any multiplayer games that is suitable for my laptop (shit laptop btw). So basically, i cant play valorant, apex or etc. Nowadays i just play with my classmates on roblox horror games or bully children on PVP games.

Also there were other cashgrabs too, and horrible games that have existed way before this point. (Around the start of Roblox going public), so even though it felt like it was most likely popularized in one year then the other, doesn't meant that that year is horrible/ it was filled to the brim with trash games/ Heck, most of the front page games in 2018 (from like Wayback archive as far as I can remember), arent even simulators lol. Sorry for ranting, I just feel like certain years get stereotyped way to much for something that could be easily forgotten about lol, also includes some bias since I joined very early on in 2018 haha

I agree with you 100%, its so sad to see that the games on roblox are not an "experience" anymore, they're just cashgrabbers, aspiring game developers are probably ages 7-14 (but this is from what i've observed) and say "hey, that looks cool, let me try making something similar" but of course, they are overtaken by other games, those fun and entertaining, simple games that are made with passion are just set aside with barely and players, and those shitty simulator games are just generating more revenue from children who probably begged for robux from their parents, i mean don't get me wrong, most simulator games are fun, but would you really spend money to enjoy the "experience", wasting things like that is just plain dumb, but of course, they're kids, they wouldn't know, but how can i blame them, when i was one of them.

Personally, I agree with you on roblox's status. The majority of games rely on cash grabs and addicting younger children into playing non stop, and the better less grindy ones that don't get thousands of robux worth of ads get overshadowed and usually abandoned. As one of the younger people who plays this game, I can totally say that there are many things that will cause lasting issues with our young minds, either that being pedos, addicting games with bad communities, or just straight up bad games. Personally, Its hard to find roblox enjoyable now, because all I can do is play one or 2 decent roleplay games (which still arent that great) or play some pvp games and grind. I've even gotten into scripting myself, as it seems enjoyable and a good way to enjoy roblox nowadays. I hope roblox gets better, but the future seems grim unless some major changes happen in the community. People like you make my day better siomai, good luck with college.

Wish I could’ve seen this video earlier. that being said I’m glad I’ve known friends back then including you have realised the new Roblox algorithm to which many are exploited by that grind aspect and many wishing the old community and the old Roblox we know. Back then Roblox was ideal of “Powering Imagination” the community was chill, actual genuine fun games were made, Roblox ACTUALLY cared for their community. I myself ran into TheGuestToBlame on pvp games such as project sumbus accudo and critical strike, that guy as a developer deserved more love towards others, his nicer nature should be cherished like other developers rather be pressured by their own community. So glad you have the same viewpoint and experience I do Siomai, it was worth subscribing to you during the abd days.

For anyone that want's a grindy game but it's also fun try Evolve, its like a Spore like game where you can your own little creature and fight player and make friends, it will also make you captivated but not in such a bad way. Hope that helps anyone finding a game (:

i hate that god's mistake of a game engine is only built for first person shooters. too bad people prefer making donation games and afk simulators to rot your brain at a young age over capitalizing roblox's only good strength

yeah i also had this feeling too, when i was younger around 2015 the front page looked like a whole different world that i could hop in and explore but nowadays its like.. its just way too different man.

Sadly we live in an age where most developers only care about money.

Monster islands Also boost vector Also survive the disasters Also arcane adventures Also Volt Also Booga Booga All these games were made for the entertainment of people and not for cash grabbing. Games like these are hidden gems. Some of them are broken and most are dead though

Dude I’ve legit been thinking for so long like “Wtf happened to this game?” Everything you said perfectly described it and it’s just sad it has to be like this, I don’t think there will ever be a game that will make creativity it’s priority anymore which just sucks. Thanks for this video.

This video was honestly one of, if not your best video. Been watching you since around the middle of 2020 and watching you and your content grow has been amazing and I cant wait to see what you have instore for the future! (also a game you should checkout is Roguelike Prototype, it's kind of like Minecraft Dungeons)

I also had the same feeling for awhile. But I got to back into it recently because I played the old games I used to play and loved.

man your music choice is absolutely perfect

i agree with every single point made in this video. i remember going onto roblox almost every day and playing abd, where i actually had fun and enjoyed myself. now literally almost every game on the front page is just a cashgrab and isnt fun at all to play. roblox is still almost the only platform i even play anything on, but all I really do is just play horror games or join whatever my friends are doing. roblox is still fun, although sometimes it can take actual hours just to find a fun game to play. the entire games page is just simulators or cash grabs where you repeat the same thing over and over again. not to mention the players too. roblox used to be an actual fun community and was mostly peaceful, now most of the community is extremely toxic and its really hard to find anyone thats nice or a good sport in games. the only game ive even played throughout the past year without quitting is the mimic, which despite being a literal horror game is still my favorite game on the entire platform currently because of how money hungry all the other developers are. i wish the entire platform could just go back to how it was like 1 and a half years ago, back to when there was actually more fun games than pay to win cashgrabs made by some developer who barely even puts effort into their game.

keep going! you are doing a awsome job!

Sure, everything looks much more sleek, clean, and nice to look at, but one thing the old page will have over the current one is the colors and how inviting the game page looked. The new colors, mostly white, black, grey, and green (mostly found on the Robux page) don’t seem very inviting at all.

bro some of the clips in here hit so close to home seeing pokemon brick bronze with thinknoodles and denis man those were some good ol times

This video has said LITERALLY everything on my mind, I only play roblox since its all i can do with the amount of friend i play with and hardware differences, I miss being able to play Arcane Adventures with my friends, thanks for the suggested games though,

The montage close to the end of the video really gave me an unexplainable feeling of nostalgia, I grew up with ROBLOX, and now any game just seems either too grindy, or too toxic. At the start of it, I saw possibility, and now, I see a loss of hope. Whenever I watched this video, at the start I was ignorant, but you brought up a lot of good points and this opinion has now grown onto me as truth, most of the ROBLOX games now are just blatant cash grabs, or too bland. After watching this video, I realized how much this platform has inspired me to try new things, now it's just a reason for me to yell. I mainly only play games which involve combat, like Jojo's games. I've long quit Your Bizarre Adventure, and A Universal Time got too boring for me to play. There are very few games as of now that I continuously play, Grand Piece Online is fun, but I realize that won't be for much longer. This video opened up my eyes, I'm not a common viewer on your channel, but I have watched a lot of the funny videos you make. Amazing content, and I wish you well on your trip to college!

As a 2016 roblox veteran I myself think roblox is just boring now. Literally the only games you can see on the website is only some simulators or pay-to-win games and the cooler games you have to find them. Truly disappointing

The last thing that made me quit Roblox was them removing Linux support. And yeah I agree with you, games are also just cash grabs and get boring quick. I made my first account in 2018.

It's really sad how roblox nowadays is lable as yet another cash grabbing game(platform),compare as back then. It really hits the spot when you said "It's about the experience“, I discovered roblox when I was in G5-6 and me, my younger sibling and my cousin used to play roblox alot and have fun, getting lost in maze in Lumber tycoon 2, escaping prison in prison life, and finding your target in assassin, Trying out new elements in elemental battle grounds. It was such a fun and wonderful experience as a child.

dude he is so freaking true i agree with him so much roblox has changed so much in the Past 6-4 yrs. oders have advanced , trolls are not funny anymore and its pretty crazy ive been playing roblox for like 7-5 yrs and im still prob gonna play it but this is really touching and i will always be the same and i wont let roblox change me because i dont think i would want to make my life miserable because of one mistake, playing roblox.

This video is what i always wanted, even tho im SUPER young, i agree with everything you are saying, and this moment of roblox is the reason i HATE pay to win games, i just play them when joking around with some friends and the good maps that don't have gamepasses are my favourite ones, and im probaly just like you, addictated to deepwoken, where the only robux things(other then the actual game) are slots and the race reroll. Roblox devs should know that they are probaly stealing a kid money and it is wrong, not just to get free money and release an update that is just skins(YES, IM TALKING ABOUT YOU YBA) for money

idek, i do a lot of development stuff and I mean a lot of it. I'm pretty good at scripting, learned modeling, building animating (in multiple ways), etc. Working on the game for over 1.5 years, but wake up always questioning myself; "am I wasting time?" Cuz I work daily 2-7 hours a day (depends on the mood and the motivation) as a solo dev. The game is very detailed, the mechanics are sick, the map is beautiful, but is it worth the effort? Cuz what I'm seeking for is actually seeing it grow. Not to mention that assets CAN get stolen by some individuals, whichs very frustrating, cuz DMCA barely works, judging from other people's experience.

Tbh i spend way more time in old broken 2010-2017 roblox games than the new scammy ass simulators. Can we normalize making simple enjoyable games like bake a cake, dont blink, stop it slender, survive the disasters, animatronic world, twisted murderers, epic minigames and SO many more forgotten great games that arent just money scams

Fun fact, I actually started playing Roblox in 2016, some weeks after the Tix removal. The old games were great as hell, however now there are constant cash grab games. One of the cash grab game creators is called "vintagetoysandmore". I saw him once in a Roblox game and checked his profile to see how he's so rich! He always lied and profitted off trends, exc. Turning Red, Huggy Wuggy, etc. He also claimed that he made UNCOPYLOCKED games. He also lied. jesus christ..

Untitled tag game beta and recode are my faves. If anyone looks out for a new experience, and playing a childhood game, just play this.

I was so addicted to roblox like everytime i come back from school i would try to sneak my way to my potato without mom noticing back then..but now i just ignore it. There is no fun games just filled with boring clicking games with little to no fun,and oders everywhere. I know there are some fun games but..like Siomai said "its like try to find a diamond in a trash can" Roblox doesn't care about its community it cares about how much they make thats what its making it bad.

Ever since 2020, and when premium was introduced m, game developers realized they could make grindy clicker games which made you stay overnight in order to become stronger. Staying overnight gave developers tons of robux from premium players due to the fact that premium payout gave some robux every certain amout of time. Having thousands of premium players by riding on a trend or putting fun colors in your face to get the most amount of people to play would make developers thousands of robux each day.

This video is really inspiring. I have to agree with you that, most new gen Roblox games are just cash-grab, repetitive, boring and s i m u l a t o r s.

Tbh, Roblox as a game engine has massively improved with it's many new features but the frontpage and popular games section have evolved backwards. We need the passion of old Roblox with the technology of modern Roblox and you'd have a platform that could compete with indie Unity and Unreal Engine games in terms of quality.

The Rito village music from BOTW is turning me into tears 😭

I love this (ALSO THERE R GAMES INSPIRED BY OLD ROBLOX GAMES SUCH AS GET A SNACK AT 4AM, REGRETOVATOR AND NPC ARE BECOMING SMART)

1:40 this deepwoken clip is so true

I love when someone has the exact same opinions as i do

As a roblox developer with 7+ years of experience, this is SO RELATABLE!!! I remember putting my heart and soul into a pretty much terribly executed game. I spent one and a half years on it to only get 40 visits. I had practically released it during the time when "simulators" were on the rise. I remember being eight years old and absolutely hating simulators and cash-grabby games for the same reasons this video explains. Roblox just cant seem to really care much about developers, in fact, you are more likely to get banned as a developer due to the fact that you are uploading assets to the platform, you kind of have no other choice but to do it and deal with it. Long wait times, terrible moderators, strict guidelines, unoptimized client, and outright unfair devex restrictions.. the ecosystem makes it almost impossible to make complex games on roblox. And then working for small teams with fanbases was absolutely STRESSFUL!! Fans expected so much in so little time, they did not understand anything about game development and just wanted us to release the game, expecting it not to be half-ah ah ah'd. With this platform, i constantly end up with massive roadblocks from just the development ecosystem. I refuse to pump out cash grabs because I want to create video games as if it were art. And thats because video games 𝗮𝗿𝗲 art. Roblox doesnt "power imagination" in fact it does the opposite... preventing it. Ive practically resorted to having to attempt learning ANOTHER game engine all over again from scratch, leaving all my roblox experience behind. Roblox needs to find ways to treat their developers who are there for, as the video suggests.. "experience" rather than money. Anyways sorry for long rant, i rlly enjoyed the video and u earned urself a sub!

Zeppelin wars is by far my favorite game. It was a reimagined version of an older Roblox game from the late 2000s. There are two teams, Patrol, and Pirates. Each team has the exact same zeppelin and planes, no pay to win game passes. From like 2020 - 2023 it had 1k active player average. But now it’s been overshadowed by Airship assault. With many micro transactions along the way. I can’t even figure out how to move the plane off the runway in that game. Now Zeppelin Wars has a 80 - 120 active player average. Still a wide variety of players who play today. The OGs: people who playing game since it’s pre alpha stage. The intermediates: people who had been playing the game for a few months and already love it. And of course, The newcomers: people who aren’t looking for a game, people who are looking for an experience.

I made an obby type game and every two months after it was published I search it up, autoscroll down for ten minutes, and then Ctrl+F and I get no results for it. Instead, mindless, oversaturated garbage is what shows up that have literally no connection to my game.

I first played roblox high school when I wasn't even IN high school. Now I am really in high school.
