I've noticed a recent trend with some of these popular roblox games (blade ball) having dedicated servers to afk in, which just exploits Roblox's algorithm into recommending them further and stealing the spotlight from games that deserve it. It also exploits premium payouts.

[@viberbread]

that is true

[@smile_gur]

yep

[@sinicule]

Not to mention people are dumb enough to spend 10,000+ robux for cosmetics

[@Bigman.I.S.]

Fr, the game is literally built around gamepasses, robux, and ways to exploit the algorithm so more people can join the game and buy more micro transactions. Even tho it’s pretty fun it’s basically just a money farm

[@phillipdang7531]

And if i were a roblox mod i would ban blade ball for being hot garbage and get away with it for how terrible roblox moderation

The genre filter was probably one of the best ways to find content that you were interested in... but they removed it back on October 26, 2017. However, the feature could have a return in the future since a Roblox Staff member mentioned it in a reply from a dev forum back on March 11 of this year.

I must say, this is mostly an issue roblox can rapidly ammend.For example,in metaverse champions and past egg hunts there was a vast amount of games thattl weren't very popular which were very high quality,some of which i still play to this day and many games purely due to these events are still fairly popular and get frequent updates.

In the eyes of the Roblox CEO what's happening is not an issue.

[@british2852]

@@lastwayytYeah i kind of just phrased it poorly its the player count that counts and how much robux the game makes as long as theres a cash cow like pet simulator x trending modern roblox doesn't care about what players play

[@gavinwilliam2691]

So basically in simpler terms, Roblox makes an event and has the small games take part in it. People who wanna complete the event and play the game, they find out its fire and the game blows up.

[@anna-gt2mu]

[@tsaroftheunion]

Roblox could easily fix this by setting up an algorithm that caters to the individual player like other social media platforms, so people who genuinely enjoy these passion-made and interesting games can better find these smaller games. It's not as great as other solutions but in my opinion and experience, it's much better to attract people who genuinely enjoy the genre rather than just any random 9 year old.

[@swavii4337]

Ah, but you see; Then ROBLOX makes less money. Take the closed community and anime game community, some of the best these types of games have to offer are not microtransaction heavy in the slightest Those won't make them as much money as Adopt me, Brookhaven RP cause little kids dont understand them. Why cater to the less profitable and objectively smaller audiences who knows better than to ask mom for 40 bucks for Infinity in blade ball, when you can appeal to the stupider audience who doesn't, right~?

[@tsaroftheunion]

@@swavii4337 Roblox will make less money, that is precisely the point! Down with the rich! All seriousness though, I'm not sure if there'd be a solution without sacrificing money or underrated game visibility unless they maybe made specific categories to cater to those games (coming never).

[@omega97hyper24]

​@@swavii4337but wouldn't the idiot kids get recommended more shitty microstransaction games?

[@UnofficialGMHikaruClips]

Thats why here is a "recommended for you" section for games, however it still uses the same algorithm that is looking for games that 1. have a high engagement. 2. have a high retention rate and 3. have a high revenue rate. It does not take into consideration what type of genre you play the most though. It only considers the fact that you have played those types of games before, even though you might have only played them for like 5 minutes.

[@obamium7330]

There used to be a section which told you which games are what genre or whatever but dumbfuck roblox removed it

[@emaster9663]

as someone who joined Roblox in around 2016, watching a the platform crumble was devastating to say the least. it makes me upset that so many underrated games get thrown under the bus, one of my favorites being Dummy’s vs Noobs. it’s the only game I really actively play now, as it has very good replay ability. it’s a difficult wave based co-op shooter, so maybe you should check it out if your bored some time.

[@Josefino-lontra-warcrimes]

If your a military guy and a navy guy too then Dead Ahead is a great game.

Really cool game with a bunch of game modes and cool mechanics.

[@randomidk6206]

I think one of the most important things are updates and tutorials. If the game is not updating much, or it takes long for it to update - people will leave and play something else until the game updates. Or the lack of the tutorial, if the game looks too hard to play with unexplained controls, newer players probably would leave. The best example of these 2 reasons is the game called HOURS, it is discontinued, and has little to no tutorials. Also following the reason you gave called "microtransactions" where more gamepasses = more players, this game in particular has only 2 gamepasses and only 1 of them unlocks literally the other half of the game, the other one is just a donation. Edit: Playing some older games i played, i found one that will keep my attention endlessly, which is Survive The Night (STN for short ) the game is basically hide and seek, except theres dozens of action. It has everything you mentioned: Competitiveness, multiple microtransactions and others. However, the game has max ~500 - ~200 players online in it, it used to have 3k or 1k. The reason to me is unknown, maybe its because it could be boring but yet still even after you died you can still play the game as a ghost with their unique abilities. One of the reasons might be is the game is way too sound reliant, like hearing breathing, heartbeat or footsteps. So yeah, + 1 game into this list. Edit 2: Have you ever played tower defense games? Maybe TDS or tower battles? Theres 1 game which had 500 players active and more, but now its forgotten. The game is Tower Defenders ( or Realm Rush ). The reason why it is not being played is the difficulty of being a solo player. While playing solo, you can only get 3 tower slots and 1 ability slot, but while being a co-op player, you can get max tower and ability slots. Other than that, there's a unique PvP mode, where you xan send in-game enemies to fight eachother with another team, basically Plants VS zombies except its zombie only, it has a lot of microtransactions, like dreamshards ( the main currency of the game ), some gamepasses and meme towers. Solely the reason why its not being played like it was before is the tower slots and ability slots problem i said before.

[@tetryzs]

Hours man, I loved that game It got SOME updates, but yeah it really fell off to me

[@nerfcollector1337]

was waiting for someone to mention hours, it's a great game but it doesnt appeal to most roblox players now

[@tridyot]

figuring out how things work in HOURS isnt that hard after a hot minute because the game gave you descriptions of key binds, moves, unlock requirements, except for some easter eggs

[@lucas_br9592]

One of the frist roguelikes i've ever played, and made me love the genre

[@WilliamC.]

I loved to play a game called Warlords and I still do play it. It is a game where each player leads squad of units in a 3v3, 4v4, or, 5v5. The game used to have ~1.5k players in 2022 but now the player count is very low and hovers around 50-100 players rn because of problems like: 1: The game has no tutorial, it just jumps straight in. It took me a half day to figure out with no help. 2: I consider this a good feature but there are no gamepasses that benifit the players except for buying in game money which is a horrible conversion, 500 robux for 1,000 gold. 3: It takes especially long for new players to win matches and get enough money for better units as the beginner units suck and the grind for good units usually takes dozens of matches that last 3-15 minutes depending on the map and how good your team is. 4: The skill floor is pretty high as you need to know a lot of mechanics and counters before you start winning so the average roblox player that plays won't be able to understand and play the game properly. 5: Updates takes months to come out and there has not been an update for at least a year now. I don't know if the dev is even active. Yea if you read all of this then thank you for your time Edit: yes I know I posted this twice

[@-_World_-]

I’ve had this exact question for such a long time and it genuinely sucks that some developers put so much effort and time and money just to never get the success that they deserve just because they don’t appeal to the major audiences

[@byzled]

As a solo game developer, most of the visits and revenue come from my friends that know about the game, sure it might not get visits, but it's satisfying enough seeing how people like the work I spend so much time on.

[@PosterityIslesNews]

cause during the pandemic, people who usually had less time to play games, like teenagers and young adults, suddenly had time to play games all day instead of going to school or university. these people choose more mature games, which are usually underrated. meanwhile young children are barely ever busy so they're still 70% of all players, even after the pandemic.

I think there is another reason why games like toilet tower defense or blade ball have a lot of players which is UPDATES, updates bring newer, cooler stuff to the game making it less stale after a while and toilet tower defense or blade ball are games which you don't need a lot of time to update making players stay on the game longer.

[@Xolpho]

Another reason is roblox's categories and recommendations. They only recommend people front page games, not one's that they like, which just makes the actually good/underrated games hidden even more. Most of the categories are just repetitive too.

[@volrox_]

Honestly better recommendation is such a good solution, but I feel like it's difficult even for Roblox right now with how games are classed. Like who even looks at genres that much? Most game just have it on "All genre" and that's about it. If games had tags the way steam does, or if Roblox had the budget to invest into a top tier algorithm like KZbin does, then there's a great potential, but not with current systems

Tags can grow your game quite well if you target the right audience.

I completely agree with all he states and I really do wish better more enjoyable games could be shown. If you came here for good underrated games I know a few 1 Dummies vs Noobs (Wave based shooter with teammates) 2 Decaying Winter (Same thing as Dummies vs Noobs but with different mechanics and lore) 3 Dead Ahead (A naval game with 2 teams fighting each other) 4 Centaura (I know its a good game never really tried it but I've heard its great) 5 Project Stardust (I think used to cost money but not anymore anyways its a mix of various spaces ships from Halo, Yamato, Starwars etc) 6 StarScape(Really sad honestly it is a awesome game but it died out completely with barely enough players it is a space open world with factions ships etc) 7 Zeppelin Wars ( I guess it can be replaced with airship war but still a very good game. A battle between pirates and police in airships or other veichals to defeat the other ship. 8 AI war Red vs Blue ( A story game that I guess can be considered boring but it is a good mention It is a battle against red AI with Blue Ai allies) 9 The Conquers 3( A RTS game that is held underrated with multiple gametes of caputre the hill or destroying all of the enemy. There's a few I missed cause its been so long but this whole thing just reminded me of soooo much nostalgia and back when I had fun games I liked to play with my friends. Rip Roblox and its current state.

theres also a game called blox cards, which was made way back 2014-15, its a combination of pokemon and yu-ghi-oh card plus roblox ogs too. The playerbase only has around 70-100 players average (when you dont count the UGC event) but its VERY underrated. At first its quite complicated even if you played through the tutorial but the more you play the more you get into it (most underrated games are the same to it ofc). Its has a discord server too for tournaments, updates stuff like that.

This all comes down to what Roblox itself does, they could fix all of these problems, yet they have become so corrupted by money that they decide not to.

Also reason 4: just straight up popularity, my friend (and some other people) has the mindset of playing only popular games knowing they won’t die out, basically, instead of playing games because they are fun, he plays to get good at the for when the future comes, leaving unpopular and underrated games untouched, he even went as far as saying “if it doesn’t have 100 players (of all things) it’s not worth playing” yet every time I show him an unpopular game he likes it, yet won’t keep playing till it’s more popular

[@mengarbitoon9922]

I played some games that are too underrated and i must say that those have much potential if the devs put alot of effort and love towards to the game their making. Nowadays, when a new game with new mechanic comes out then those who follow will also create the same but with a twist making it repetitive and abusive to the algorithm. I wish roblox can make the algorithm much balance and put a new category where those potential games will be on the list

[@marschallblucher6197]

I feel like there's a couple of games that still fit the nature of popular games but still falls in the underrated category. Like Arcane Odyssey for example (I know the game is still in an early state but still) The game is competitive with it's active pvp playerbase and wild build variety. The game isn't boring since there's always something to do (Early game is a bit of a slog but by the time you get to cirrus the game really kicks off and that's assuming you're ONLY doing the story and _never going off track_) Yet this game gets no where near the same level of engagement as something like blade ball. A big factor could be that it's PC only but there has to be something more than that....

[@scriptabledrawing7773]

Arcane odyssey has amazing gameplay, lots of content, a deep lore/story, an infinitely procedurally generated island outside the main story area, lots of side quest, and really replayable. It also has tips placed strategically everywhere so you will always know the controls. But, there are also many factors for Roblox not to push out the game, thus making it underrated. First, the first part is mediocre, so the player will think the rest is also mediocre and will leave some most likely not join back. If they make it to the first boss, the first boss is way too hard for the average kids on Roblox, so they will also leave and not join back. Secondly, yes it is because it’s only on pc, but it’s also because the age rating is n 13+. Thirdly, the game uses lots of data sending back and forth to the server and client, making the game laggy and people disconnect a lot if they don’t have a good internet connection. Lastly, the game uses too much computer resources. The game runs at 20 fps on my gaming pc on lowest settings sometimes as well as stuttering like crazy. In a more technical aspect, the game uses an average of 3gb of ram, a max of 6gb, and my I had an i7-12700 cpu.

[@momomon7662]

I think another reason is also just the fact that the mainly younger Roblox audience don't have the technology that can run more demanding Roblox games, because let's be honest, most of the actually good Roblox games that aren't just brain rot do require a better system than just a mid range phone to run well without lag.

And it even has an genre system where you could choose games based on their genre if you want for some retro old classic games

[@imnotrealhecker8183]

The games I would recommend are 1. Phighting 2. Quest for the Lost TV Remote 3. In Plain Sight 2

[@GiaCantDoStuff]

I loved to play a game called Warlords and I still do play it. It is a game where each player leads squad of units in a 3v3, 4v4, or, 5v5. The game used to have ~1.5k players in 2022 but now the player count is very low and hovers around 50-100 players rn because of problems like: 1: The game has no tutorial, it just jumps straight in. It took me a half day to figure out with no help. 2: I consider this a good feature but there are no gamepasses that benifit the players except for buying in game money which is a horrible conversion, 500 robux for 1,000 gold. 3: It takes especially long for new players to win matches and get enough money for better units as the beginner units suck and the grind for good units usually takes dozens of matches that last 3-15 minutes depending on the map and how good your team is. 4: The skill floor is pretty high as you need to know a lot of mechanics and counters before you start winning so the average roblox player that plays won't be able to understand and play the game properly. 5: Updates takes months to come out and there has not been an update for at least a year now. I don't know if the dev is even active. Yea if you read all of this then thank you for your time

[@dacgamer5741]

this is TECHNICALLY another reason, but its so obscure it practically does not exist: imagine you cant code. so you use obby creator to build a better game, since you know how to use the only form of "coding" there. you manage to make a full game of some sort. but since your game is depending on obby creator, think about it: about three thousand players on obby creator. but like hundreds of thousands obbies to search through. is anyone gonna find your game in obby creator? nope. even if its REALLY good, if you cant get recognition from youtubers, theres no way anyones gonna notice it. summary: if you have to use another roblox game to make your games, the players that can play your game are SEVERELY decreased.

Bro. As an roblox developer since 2016 i thought about many reasons why my and other games aint popular in these new years. I have realized earlier some of the Points you mentioned but maybe your right. But still i resist to making a bad game that will be popular. I just need to hit the right spot...

[@NamelessHero1]

Another reason is that 5 years old children dont like to lose, so they wont play truly hard games, one example is decaying winter, i played this game for more then 50 hours but i still am horrible at it, and guess what? That gane has no microtransactions but also has less then 1k players and the game is one of the best games in the plataform

I’m having full hopes for you since you started out with a video that was well edited, like professionally edited, and this is only your fourth video.

This game called Industrialist.. its the type of game Roblox should be full of. Fun, u gotta use brain and logic (setting up the systems and the pipes burn my brain) and you LEARN something while having a TON of fun. I always learn somethimg new from that game while having fun

[@TiqProductions]

I also recommend you play JToH. Basically it is a game where you have to beat towers and unlock zones. You start off with beating ToAST. (The tutorial tower). You would then beat ToA. Then NEAT. (A mini tower. Go to cat therapy to find it.) And then just beat ToM and then you are at ring 2. Towers will be harder there. Yet the mini tower is easier in ring 2. Then find a guide because i am not gonna write more (lol). It is a great game to get better at obbies. But the community is kinda toxic.

@@TheWingedHussar_ it's not necessarily milking, it's just value that you provide to ROBLOX and how they return it to you in form of popularity. You can maintain a pretty good game while also not being hard on prices of your gamepasses, there's alot of psychology involved but if you had a "Starter Pack" for 100 and 199 Robux - people would buy one for 100 much easier, resulting in more sales volume which in turn would provide value to ROBLOX which IN TURN would provide you with popularity
