The best Roblox Games

By

There’s a reason Roblox has become one of the most popular video games in the world. Just like Minecraft, the main appeal is how players can freely do and build almost anything. Unlike Minecraft, Roblox doesn’t just let players build worlds, but entire games to share. Anyone who picks up the game can learn to design and develop whatever type of game they want, from adventures and RPGs to shooters and puzzle games and more. With millions of users and potential designers, tons of amazing games are waiting to be found on the platform. If you’re looking for the best of the best to try out, here are our picks for the current best games in Roblox.

Anime Fighting Simulator X

There are tons and tons of anime games on Roblox, but not all of them are created equal. Anime Fighting Simulator X is kind of your catch-all for characters (called Champions) from all of your favorite anime. In exchange for some currency, you can become legally distinct characters like Goju (Gojo), Mada (Madara), and Might (All Might), as well as many others. You can level each one up and equip them with different skills and abilities by doing adventures and quests. Adventures are a passive way to earn rewards by sending your character on a mission for a duration of time, while quests let you actually fight and explore a massive world. This is one of the most well-supported games on the platform and gets constant updates, so you will always have new Champions and quests to do to get stronger.

Dystovia

Roblox

A lot of Roblox games attempt to copy existing games to varying levels of success. Dystovia is clearly attempting to appeal to the Elden Ring fans, but is more than just a knockoff even in its early form. Billed as a multiplayer action adventure RPG, the combat mechanics are as tight and demanding as any soulslike, even if the graphics look a decade old. The explorable map is already massive, and there are tricky secrets to hunt down alongside new weapons and bosses. Unlike a lot of other games, there isn’t a ton of grinding or pressure to purchase anything extra, which gets bonus points from us.

Blade Ball

A ninja slashing a dodgeball in Roblox.
Roblox

Not every Roblox game has to be some massive adventure or deep RPG. Blade Ball is dodgeball, but spiced up with weapons and abilities to add more strategy and skill to the game. The goal is, as you would expect, to hit other players with the ball and not get hit yourself, but the obstacles, attacks, and powers make it unpredictable and chaotic in a great way. No round will take a ton of time, and there are plenty of maps to try out and various modes. There’s a classic free-for-all mode, team battles between two or four teams of players, and two lives to give you a second chance after getting hit.

All Star Tower Defense

Anime characters in Roblox form.
Roblox

Yes, this is another game filled with anime characters, but it plays completely differently than Anime Fighting Simulator X. Instead of directly controlling your avatar in All Star Tower Defense, you are deploying your favorite characters to fend off waves of enemies that get more numerous and powerful with each assault. Every unit has its own abilitiesthat you will need to consider to most effectively counter whatever is being thrown at you. It’s a bit more tactical, but a fun challenge to see how long you can last.

Murder Mystery 2

The murder mystery title page in Roblox.
Roblox

Among Us inspired a wave of social deduction games, and Murder Mystery 2 is the best take on it that you can get in Roblox. The setup is the same: you have a team of innocent players and murderers trying to kill them off without getting caught. The twist is that there’s a third group of sheriffs that are responsible for killing the murderers. It’s a simple concept and doesn’t overcomplicate things with too many roles like some other games have.

The best Perk-A-Colas in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
A screenshot from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's zombies mode.

There's nothing more refreshing than taking a nice big swig of a Perk-A-Cola during an intense Zombies match with your pals in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Besides tasting great (we assume), these colas empower you with buffs that will keep you alive until the later rounds. These bonuses are just as important as the Pack-A-Punch, but come in a wider range of flavors. It is possible to stack them all, but that gets expensive very fast so you need to be thrifty about choosing which ones are most valuable early on. These colas come in eight different types that may or may not be worth your Essence to chug. If you want to know which ones are the best in Black Ops 6, check out our ranking.
Best Perk-A-Colas in Black Ops 6

We're ranking these Perk-A-Colas based on their base bonuses, not any additional effects you can get if you Augment them, from best to worst.
Jugger-Nog
You can never go wrong with the classic Jugger-Nog. Increasing your health by 100 is useful for the entire duration of a Zombies mode, but especially in the early rounds. Going down is at best a major setback and at worst a cascade into defeat. This extra health allows you to get out of a bad situation that would otherwise end your run.
Quick Revive
This Perk has two components, with the less useful one being the ability to revive teammates 50% faster. Ideally, that shouldn't be needed but is nice. However, what makes it rank so high is the 50% shorter delay on health regen. Your health will come back over time in Zombies but at a dreadful pace. Starting to heal faster means less time running and kiting zombies around and more time in the action helping the team.
Speed Cola
The best early guns for Zombies mode have a large magazine, fast reload, or both. Running out of ammo at the wrong time and not being able to get more rounds in the chamber fast enough has ended many a run, but Speed Cola is the solution. It will speed up your reloads and armor plating by 30%. That's not a massive number, but fast enough to make the difference.
Stamin-Up
These zombies aren't the shambling types. They will chase you down like sprinters, and some of the monstrous ones can outpace you even at full tilt. Stamin-Up sounds like it would let you run for longer, but actually just lets you run faster since you have no limit on sprint in Black Ops 6. Positioning is everything in Zombies so being able to get where you need to be faster is never a bad thing, especially if it's a downed teammate bleeding out.
Deadshot Daiquiri
Every zombie has a weak spot, which is most often the head. Deadshot Daiquiri makes a critical hit hurt even more than normal, plus increases your auto-aim on those weak points when you aim down sights (ADS). That second part shouldn't factor much if you've got good aim, which is why this is only a decent Perk-A-Cola.
PhD Flopper
Not being able to hurt yourself is situationally useful, and the ability to cause an explosion by diving is a risky move. Yes, it's cool, but you don't want to be lying prone surrounded by zombies. This is a cool gimmick, but save yourself the Essence and skip it.
Elemental Pop
When Elemental Pop works, it's great. The problem with it is that you can't rely on it. It gives a small chance on every shot you take to add a random ammo mod effect, which is cool but impractical. If you have spare Essence on you, sure, it won't hurt you to have, but it isn't something that will turn the tide for you or your team.
Melee Macchiato
Finally, Melee Macchiato bottoms out the list. It is fine in the early game when the hordes are small and you're better off meleeing enemies since it will smack enemies away with each hit, but quickly drops off in usefulness. When the zombies get too strong and too numerous, you will need a lot more than a strong punch to deal with them and end up forgetting you even have it.

Games preservation dealt a huge blow by U.S. Copyright Office
Mario on an iPhone via an emulator.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) will not grant an exemption for video games in terms of preservation, the U.S. Copyright Office announced last week, showing that we still have a long way to go in helping people to experience classic titles that might not be available to play anywhere.

The Software Preservation Network, along with the Video Game History Foundation, filed a petition to expand DMCA exemptions for software like video games. This specific effort was to provide an easier way to access games through remote means that might otherwise be protected under the DMCA for the purposes of research and other academic purposes.
